MULTIPLEXER
AND
COMPRESSION
Dalma is authorised supplier / installer for RFL.
The preconceived notion that ITS and security quality video requires much more
bandwidth than T1 (or E1) is based on outdated methods of video compression. The
advanced work being done on video compression has provided for systems which can
provide usable high resolution video at speeds as low as 64 kb/s, a single
T1(E1) channel. This speed provides about 1-2 frames per second of
high-resolution video, which can easily be used for traffic management.
Allocation of 3 channels out of the 24 (32) provided by T1 (E1) allows for real
motion video that is relatively smooth and clear. Going up to 6 channels or 384
kb/s allows for very smooth real time video for closely examining traffic
situations as required. As much as an entire T1 (E1) can be used when desired.
The IMUX 2000 Video System from RFL Electronics can be used with
all standard cameras and video monitors.
Several different applications can be put together which allow
multiple cameras per T1 (E1) link. Since this equipment costs a fraction
of higher bandwidth equipment, many more cameras can be purchased for a given
budget. The following two examples show how multichannel simultaneous systems
and sequential systems can be designed using the RFL IMUX 2000 Variable
Video System.
For transmission of T1 or E1, with multiple cameras (as
well as data, audio, and / or control signals) use a PTT-provided link or use
the microwave or laser links
which can also be provided by Dalma (see "Communications" page).
