GERMANTOWN, Md., Sept. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Optelecom-NKF, Inc. (Nasdaq: OPTC), a leading global supplier of advanced video surveillance solutions, today announced the addition of a high-performance open codec platform to its extensive and growing Siqura(R) product line.
The new Siqura(R) C-50 E-MC video multi-codec, designed with Open Streaming Architecture (OSA), offers standardized video streaming and full remote control through a comprehensive HTTP API, facilitating enhanced third-party integration.
Designed for mission-critical applications in tough industrial environments, the Siqura(R) C-50 provides superior video picture quality using MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and Motion JPEG in a temperature-hardened enclosure. Each video stream can be optimized for its specific application; customers can use high-quality MPEG-2 for live viewing, low-bandwidth MPEG-4 for storage, and low-resolution Motion JPEG for remote web applications.
"The C-50 has been eagerly awaited. Customers want solutions that let them seamlessly integrate offerings from third-party vendors, supporting a full range of applications, such as broadcast-quality video to a command center, remote monitoring over the Internet, and access to video through wireless Web-enabled PDAs. Our OSA C-50 codec is designed to give customers the ability to evolve their systems over time, taking advantage of new technologies as they become available," said Peter de Konink, Product Line Manager for Optelecom-NKF.
