International. The HDcctv Alliance, the association in charge of the development and publication of the model for the HD surveillance interface, revealed the characteristics of its new Hdcctv V2.0 standard that will be added to those already defined in the HDcctv V1.0.
With professionals increasingly using high-definition systems such as 720p and 1080p resolution, it is essential to guarantee 100% interoperability in the video interface in surveillance systems, hence the importance of the Hdcctv standard.
The Hdcctv V1.0, first ratified in 2009, allows the transmission of uncompressed HD video, with ultra-detailed and real-time images over traditional coaxial cable. But, in its version 2.0 the organization seeks to continue evolving to meet the needs of the industry in this field.
Precisely, among the novelties that V2.0 brings are the transmission with extended range (XR Mode). Currently systems operating under V1.0 can work using up to 150 meters of RG59 coaxial cable, while with XR Mode you can double that transmission distance.
That is, the V2.0 HDcctv will achieve more than 300 meters of transmission with a conventional RG59 cable , approximately 40 meters with low-quality coaxial cable and more than 100 with UTP cable.
"HDcctv V2.0 will facilitate the industry's transition to high-definition surveillance," said Todd Rockoff, executive director of the Hdcctv Alliance. "Because many of the existing surveillance cameras can be migrated to HDcctv without putting in a new cable, the HDcctv V2.0 represents a huge saving in time and material cost for the installer."
Finally, he said that "the enormous bandwidth with which the HDcctv interfaces work offers maximum quality for full-motion HD images and real-time view, which allows a higher quality, both in the forensic tests that will be stored in the compatible DVRs and in the delivery of live images that surveillance professionals expect."
