The HDcctv Alliance, a consortium founded to handle and publicize the technical standards set up for HDcctv equipments interoperability, declared that CNB, a leading light in video surveillance devices, has joined the alliance to open up, or expand the market for HDcctv compliant video surveillance solutions.
According to CNB’s Manager, Joseph Park, CNB became a part of the alliance, as the company identified HDcctv Alliance as a major market trend setter, and also to take the next step towards HD video surveillance. He felt that the market was ripe and prepared to widen its horizons for HD surveillance products, and proper distribution channels were needed for sales. In tandem with the company’s camera technologies, HDcctv Alliance members were incorporating superior Codec Chips into HDcctv DVR’s and HDcctv IP Streamers, hopeful of the eventual entry of HDcctv into the mainstream distribution channels, for surveillance equipments. Furthermore he stated that CNB is ready to be compliant with HDcctv standards, as far as design and manufacture of these systems are concerned. For the last 30 years, since the advent of television, D1 resolution images or standard definition, have been deployed for the consumer. But now, globally 16.9 pixel array HDTV broadcasts are the standard. Hence the video surveillance products will also change to HDTV formats.
CNB produces more than one million cameras every year, thereby being the biggest video surveillance camera manufacturers, observed HDcctv Alliance’s Executive Director, Todd Rockoff. The chief sales option for selling this equipment was through distribution, and CNB sells them through distribution under OEM partners and under its own Brand stream. To have such a major player associated with the Alliance augments the necessity to be HDcctv compliant, to ensure interoperability, so that dealers can mix and match products bought via distribution channels.
