HDcctv Alliance at Security China 2014

by Mark Rowe

The video standards organisation the HDcctv Alliance will host a technology and product Gallery at Security China 2014, the show running in Beijing from October 28 to 31. The first certified HDcctv 2.0-compliant products will be shown by Dahua and Shany. Intersil and Semtech will show products considered for the HDcctv DT 3.0 standard.

The HDcctv 2.0 standards – ratified in February 2014 – have been developed and agreed for HD CCTV equipment designed to deliver HD video. The HD transport products codified by the HDcctv standards deliver it’s claimed advantages in surveillance, with multi-vendor plug ’n’ play (PnP), including control over cable. HDCVI 2.0 (previously known as HDcctv AT 2.0) equipment delivers HDTV signals over any legacy CCTV coaxial cabling, with PnP remote control, while HDcctv DT 2.0 (Digital Technology) equipment adds PnP remote control up-the-coax to the underlying bit-perfect HDcctv 1.0 format.

The HDcctv 2.0 specification documents are available for download from: http://www.highdefcctv.org/hdcctv-specification/download-specification.

In the HDcctv Gallery shared by Alliance Members at Security China 2014, Dahua and Shany will demonstrate HDCVI 2.0-compliant cameras plugging and playing with a compliant digital video recorder. Intersil and Semtech will showcase new, HDcctv DT 2.0 and DT 3.0-related technologies and equipment. Telecom & Security will demonstrate its cable termination products.

Todd Rockoff, HDcctv Alliance executive director, said: “Support for the HDcctv local-site transport standards has made HD surveillance as reliable, as convenient, and as affordable as sub-HD surveillance. The migration to HD surveillance is taking place practically overnight, thanks to the specialized local-site transport technologies transforming our industry. Security China 2014 is the largest trade show in the history of the surveillance equipment industry and a fitting venue to demonstrate the first-ever 2.0-compliant products.”

The Alliance says that it has made the decision to adopt “HDCVI 2.0™” as the compliance mark for HDcctv AT 2.0 to provide buyers with a simple guide to PnP interoperability.
At its press conference during the show the Alliance will reveal the winners of its awards for innovation and compliance certification leadership, as well as making a commercial announcement. The Alliance will deliver a presentation on ‘The Global Battle for the HD Surveillance Local-Site Transport Market’ as part of the China International Security Forum. The seminar will be held in Room 2F W201 at 10.15am on Wednesday, October 29.

Companies exhibiting on the HDcctv Alliance stand at Security China 2014 include:

•Dahua. The company’s products includes a full system series of front-end, back-end, and display equipment, as well as software and intelligent traffic products. Dahua will demonstrate the new HCVR7808S ‘tribrid’ DVR, an eight-channel DVR that supports HDCVI, analogue, or IP video inputs on each channel.
•Shany – A supplier of surveillance cameras. At Security China, Shany will demonstrate PnP with three HDCVI 2.0-compliant camera models on the various ports on an HDCVI 2.0 DVR. Shany will also show PnP with an HDcctv DT camera on the various ports of an HD-SDI DVR.
•Intersil – A manufacturer of semiconductors for HDcctv cameras and DVRs.
•Semtech – A supplier of analogue and mixed-signal semiconductor products. At Security China, Semtech will demonstrate their next DT transmitter and Quad receiver chip sets.
•Telecom & Security – A manufacturer of coaxial connectivity products for the coaxial cable-based installations. T&S will demonstrate cable terminators.

Tim Shen, pictured, Director of Overseas Marketing at Dahua, said: “We are witnessing a historic transition for our industry. Today is Day One! It may take six to nine months before a full range of 2.0-compliant cameras, DVRs, and accessories is available worldwide through distribution: we must certify each individual product as compliant, implement any adjustments required to achieve compliance in our manufacturing line, re-label the housings and gift boxes, update our websites and collateral, and help customers, as well as our own sales force, to transfer their love of CVI to a love of HDCVI 2.0. There is also an obvious educational process which needs to take place throughout the Industry over the coming months.”
