IMT INTRODUCES COMPACT PORTABLE VIDEO TRANSMITTER AT ALEA 2013
CPTx-II Ideal For A Variety of Mobile Vehicle Operations
ORLANDO, FL, JULY 17, 2013 - Integrated Microwave Technologies, LLC (IMT), a Business Unit within the Vitec Group's Videocom Division, and a leader in advanced digital microwave systems for MAG (Military, Aerospace & Government) markets, introduces its CPTx-II, a Compact Portable Transmitter at ALEA 2013, the Airborne Law Enforcement Association's 43rd Annual Conference and Exposition (Booths 227 & 229).
The Compact Portable Tx-II (CPTx-II) is a lightweight, RF video transmitter that delivers HD/SD output at up to 8 Watts in 2k DVB-T COFDM mode. It supports video/audio/data/telemetry with selectable modulation bandwidths of 6, 7, and 8MHz. It weighs less than seven pounds and comes with a special motorcycle mount. The maneuverability of a police motorcycle coupled with video transmission capability offers significant advantages on crowded streets for surveillance, monitoring and crowd control applications. Another application for the motorcycle-mounted CPTx-II is at the scene of an accident, where the officers can provide live video for emergency response assessment and response. The mounted CPTx-II can also be used in motorcades and other special events.
"The CPTx-II was designed to offer exceptional RF performance with ease of operation in small mobile vehicles and we are excited to bring it to ALEA 2013," says IMT Divisional Chief Executive Stephen Shpock. "The CPTx-II is another example of IMT's commitment to providing world-class, state-of-the-art products to law enforcement and other government agencies."
The video from CPTx-II can be received on any MPEG-4 capable handheld receivers, receive sites or Command Centers. The CPTx-II is capable of 30 percent bit-rate reduction and video quality improvement, compared to other encoders, by using advanced features of the H.264 codec. It is also capable of AES encryption, making it ideal for public security monitoring, covert surveillance, and other secure transmission applications.
The CPTx-II features a push-button interface that allows quick control of preset selection, transmit/standby, hi/low RF power and internal color bars. For advanced functions, an easy-to-use administration software package is supplied with a GUI via RS232 to a PC. Configuration is flexible with 16 different presets available.
Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
