Integrated layout management
and digital video switching
iT
RAFFIC
software is the first solution in
the industry that provides integrated
layout management and digital video
switching on the large screen displays
for a truly end to end digital system.
iTraffic allows the user to:
•
select the desired network video
stream to be viewed
•
assign it onto an already open or new
window within the screen
•
associate the window to a layout
(which can be recalled in alarm
conditions)
•
design layouts and save them for
later recall
iT
RAFFIC
provides an API for customiza-
tion and facilitates integration with
existing systems.
In essence, the iT
RAFFIC
software will
negotiate with the network to
subscribe to any existing stream (in
Multicast). It will manage the proper
association and resources of the
controller and display to properly
display the stream according to the
user’s requests. This happens
independently of all existing streams
already in place – i.e. it will not disrupt
the recording or other active viewers –
providing the network has been
properly provisioned.
In summary, iT
RAFFIC
allows other higher
level systems (e.g. Traffic Management
Software) to control the visualization
system to realize the following benefits
for the users:
•
Event Associated Displays to facilitate
exception based management that
can draw proper user attention to
manage events rather than require
active user surveillance. For example,
popping up the video of an accident
or traffic jam that has been detected
by the Traffic Management Software
at the proper size and location of the
require display unit.
•
Automated Tasks to reduce user
effort and intervention to display all
relevant information associated to
and required for managing an event
by consolidating all the information
on to the proper display unit in the
most effective layouts.
•
Facilitate simultaneous control over
multiple displays. For example to
show specific views (similar or
different) across large screen
displays, personal walls, and across
different control center displays.
iT
RAFFIC
provides simple Monitor Stack Replacement from
a display perspective, but also allows the user to switch
the contents of the various windows
With iT
RAFFIC
, users can be alerted to special events with
visual cues such as enlarged views
iT
RAFFIC
displays may also be used for
pure "data" applications
