The combination of video security products from ATEME and Barco offer customers a complete H.264-based solution, addressing mission critical video security requirements.  SVC-2, Barco’s second-generation integrated streaming video card, offers unmatched performance for the simultaneous processing of large amounts of streaming video signals in real-time with minimal latency.  The SVC-2 streaming video card is used in control room setups to visualize information streams from multiple suppliers as well as multiple compression technologies.

ATEME provides a full range of video security solutions for highways, airports, public transportation systems and urban areas.  It provides ISO 14496-2 and 14496-10 compliant encoders for transmitting audio and video over IP networks.  ATEME’s video security solutions are built on the renowned MPEG-4/H.264 technology and deliver high quality video at very low bandwidths.

“In order to meet the growing demand for high quality video, security customers are increasingly looking at the quality and efficiency gains offered by H.264”, Thierry Tourneux, Director of the Video Security Business Unit at ATEME stated.  “ATEME is pleased to be working with Barco in offering our customers our combined expertise in delivering high-end video security solutions”.

“The interoperability of the SVC-2 with ATEME’s H.264 video compression technology demonstrates once again the flexibility and performance of Barco’s streaming video decoding solutions,“ said Steven Ooms, Market Director Traffic & Surveillance at Barco.  “Also customers with existing SVC_2 solutions can now enjoy the benefits of ATEME’s H.264 encoders for monitoring additional video sources, while re-using or extending their original investment in the Barco real-time control room setup.”
