The VCD5202 video console display (VCD) delivers virtual matrix functionality for surveillance operators. The VCD5202 uniquely addresses the requirements of real-time surveillance installations while balancing the complexity introduced by today's IP and megapixel cameras. Each VCD5202 decodes up to 32 streams, manages elaborate video walls, and provides for CCTV-style keyboard control and management functionality. Each VCD5202 is capable of simultaneously decoding sixteen MPEG-4 streams at 4CIF resolution and 30/25 images per second (ips), twelve H.264 baseline streams at 4CIF resolution and 30/25 ips, or two full 1080p streams in real time. When additional streams are displayed, the VCD5202 uses the advanced EnduraView technology to automatically seek out and display a lower resolution, second stream from the camera. The technology can also reduce the refresh rate to minimize the impact on processing requirements and network overhead.
