Belden joins HDcctv Alliance

21 Jun 10

The HDcctv Alliance is a global security industry consortium established to manage and promote technical standards for HDcctv equipment interoperability.

“Belden continues to be at the forefront of video technology,” said Josh Dixon, Belden vertical market manager for safety and security.

“We joined the HDcctv Alliance because we recognise both the value of HDcctv in the video surveillance market and the importance of having interoperability standards.

“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.”

Surveillance expansions
HDcctv surveillance cameras deliver digital high-definition video over coaxial cable. The HDcctv Alliance says its “standards enable interoperable plug-and-play high definition security systems with the highest possible signal integrity, without any perceivable latency or image artifacts from transmission-related compression”.

“In this post-9/11 world, video surveillance has expanded in every area,” said Steve Lampen, Belden multimedia technology manager.

“From traffic light video and airport surveillance to casino face recognition and gaming table detail, we believe HDcctv offers dramatic improvements in video performance to a host of existing and emerging applications.”

Significant contributions
According to Lampen, all Belden CCTV coaxial cables are recommended for use in HDcctv installations. “Some of our professional cables are without equal in the industry and offer unparalleled performance in HDcctv applications,” he said.

“Our engineering and marketing teams are ready to apply themselves to any new product development opportunities that HDcctv offers.

”HDcctv Alliance executive director Todd Rockoff said: “Belden is the leader in supplying the worldwide demand for CCTV cabling, and we are delighted they have chosen to participate in crafting the HDcctv standard.

“With plans to provide for direct transmission over media such as Category cable and optical fiber in future versions of the HDcctv standard, the Alliance looks forward to significant contributions from Belden.”
