ATEME Decoding Standards Integrated to eyevis Large Screen Technology

Through working together, ATEME and eyevis have produced a high- end H.264-based video security solution.

ATEME™ SA, world leader in MPEG-4/H.264 video compression technology, and eyevis, leading provider of large scale display solutions for control rooms, have pooled their resources to be able to provide high-end H.264-based video security solutions. 

In order to face requirements of today’s video security systems, eyevis developed the NPX- IP Decoder Board for its netpix controller series. The Netpix IP Streaming Decoder Board is the latest development for the eyevis NPX graphics controller series. It has been especially designed for the integration of IP Video streams in large screen systems.

Its new hardware architecture allows hardware decoding of any codec format in real-time. The NPX-IPDB can handle streams from any manufacturer and any codec format, as soon as the codec is integrated. Each NPX-IPDB can decode various streams simultaneously, independent from the quality and codec format.

Hardware Decoding

Of course, a primary standard to include was ATEME’s MPEG-4/H.264 technology. Thanks to the high-quality video compression of ATEME systems and the hardware decoding architecture of the eyevis NPX-IP Decoder Board it is possible to integrate several streams per board without affecting the performance of the entire system. These streams are decoded in real-time without any loss of quality. The combination of video security products from ATEME and eyevis offer customers a complete H.264-based solution, especially designed for professional video security requirements.

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 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 eyevis in offering our customers our combined expertise in delivering high-end video security solutions”.

Decoder Board

“Thanks to the open system architecture of the Netpix IP Decoder Board it is possible to integrate almost every kind of IP video stream to the large screen system. This flexibility has also been shown at the integration of ATEME’s H.264 video compression technology.”, said Mark Schmidt, IT Director at eyevis, “With Netpix IP Decoder Boards a virtually endless number of IP video streams can be integrated to our system. Therefore, the new decoder board is the ideal solution for modern security applications, as well as for upgrades of existing installations.”
