Video cable manufacturer Belden is the latest firm to join the global security industry consortium HDcctv Alliance.
“We joined the HDcctv Alliance because we recognize both the value of HDcctv in the video surveillance market and the importance of having interoperability standards,” says Josh Dixon, Belden vertical market manager, safety and security. “Delivering high-resolution video images, this new camera connection technology allows for higher performing systems, with a lower installation learning curve and a much lower cost of entry.”
HDcctv surveillance cameras deliver digital high-definition video over coaxial cable, according to the organization. The HDcctv Alliance has partnered with SMPTE to reference the family of broadcast video interfaces known as HD-SDI to create a derivative standard to enable plug-and-play security systems and equipment that deliver high-resolution, HD surveillance video with no transmission delays, no image artifacts from transmission, with the highest possible signal integrity.
