Multi-Standard Software

Geutebruck's new multi-standard software does not only allows all M-JPEG and H.264 based standard digital compression processes – including specialist video surveillance ones like MPEG4 CCTV, H264 CCTV – to be used in the same system. It also supports Onvif-compliant IP cameras and 16/9 HD-format cameras as well as analogue, digital and megapixel ones. In addition, this ‘omnibrid’ multi-standard video processing provides real-time signal trans-coding, which allows IP cameras without any special integral functions to be used for the manufacturer’s video analysis processes. more15.01.2010
