Advantages to IP migration

Audio and video cables used to link capture devices to a control room are characterized by physical limits:

• maximal length is limited
• dedicated connectors and converters
• variable connector quality

IP migration in the video industry offers new perspectives, comparable to those observed in the IP phone industry. Indeed, cordless (Wifi) technologies induce notable cost reduction and simplify cabling issues.

Using IP as a means of data transport offers us the possibility to control various devices including their specific functions using a single transport protocol.

Peripheral auto-detection

The devices used by UbiCast can be detected automatically by our system. Thus, the system adapts itself to the number of devices present in the surroundings and on the local network.

Global cost reduction

IP product users benefit from its 10 years of maturity offering advanced capabilities and miniaturization along with low costs due to mass production.

Distributed Architecture

Each network component has its own specific role to accomplish. The effect of this distributed approach is a general reduction of the strain applied to the system, which becomes more efficient, robust and especially evolutive.
