Stream HD video from standard HD-SDI cameras over an IP network

  • HD-SDI uses the same coaxial cables as analog and delivers high-definition digital video over at least 100 meters of standard RG59 cable
  • HD-SDI is as easy to install and maintain as analog CCTV systems

83ms wire-to-wire latency between Picolo.net encoder and Picolo.net LLD2 decoder
83ms wire-to-wire latency between Picolo.net encoder and Picolo.net LLD2 decoder

In the video world, the time lag between the instant a frame is captured and the instant that frame is displayed is called glass-to-glass latency. Research has shown that an operator’s ability to accurately perform precision manual tasks or surgical tasks decreases when glass-to-glass latency exceeds a 300 to 500 ms range. Euresys can now reduce the glass-to-glass latency to less than 100ms in full HD, in specific conditions with a dedicated decoder. Euresys has recently developed a low latency video encoder, designed for remote control of industrial processes in critical or hazardous areas. With the Picolo.net encoder, operators will be able to control machines, cranes or robots from afar with an improved response time, thanks to the advanced technologies implemented to stream full HD video over an IP network.
