This information is confidential and is not to be provided to any third party without Vicon Industries Inc.’s prior written consent. H.264 is Here  H.264 compression is also known as: –MPEG-4 AVC –MPEG-4 Part 10  Main development objective was to get a high quality image in a lower bit rate then MPEG-2  Actually ended up as a family of standards as other layers were added

This information is confidential and is not to be provided to any third party without Vicon Industries Inc.’s prior written consent. H.264 Profiles  Since the original standard release, many different profiles have been created on top of the standard: –Constrained Baseline Profile (CBP) –Baseline Profile (BP) –Main Profile (MP) –Extended Profile (XP) –High Profile (HiP) –High 10 Profile (Hi10P) –High 4:2:2 Profile (Hi422P) –High 4:4:4 Predictive Profile (Hi444PP) –High Stereo Profile –High 10 Intra Profile –High 4:2:2 Intra Profile –High 4:4:4 Intra Profile –CAVLC 4:4:4 Intra Profile –Scalable Baseline Profile –Scalable High Profile –Scalable High Intra Profile

This information is confidential and is not to be provided to any third party without Vicon Industries Inc.’s prior written consent. Published Estimated Savings  The original design was to allow cutting bit rate to half of MPEG-4  Actual results reported average to: –3-4 times lower then MPEG-4 –7-10 times lower then MJPEG –2-3 times lower then ViconNet  This assumes average motion over time

This information is confidential and is not to be provided to any third party without Vicon Industries Inc.’s prior written consent. Important to Know  Everything that is said about H.264 expected bandwidth and storage savings assumes one big assumption….. AT THE SAME VISUAL PICTURE QUALITY

This information is confidential and is not to be provided to any third party without Vicon Industries Inc.’s prior written consent. Estimated Challenges  H.264 compression, and even the different profiles, produce different bit rate in different cameras (threshold levels and sensitivity)  The major use of H.264 so far was in broadcast where bandwidth is not an issue and still needs to be refined for CCTV  Decoding (from bits to display) is much more processor intensive and requires stronger PC / display hardware

This information is confidential and is not to be provided to any third party without Vicon Industries Inc.’s prior written consent. Development Choices  Vicon uses TI (Texas Instruments) DSPs and their recommended H.264 codec; these have been optimized to work together  ViconNet uses standard video decoder (software) and supports standard H.264  Vicon adapts its sold hardware to maximize compatibility and optimize processing

This information is confidential and is not to be provided to any third party without Vicon Industries Inc.’s prior written consent. Improved Video Decoder  Development of a PC-based video decoder instead of a DSP-based  VGA and DVI/HDMI output (no BNC)  Support H.264 and HD images (including 16:9 format)  More pictures on every output  Development flexibility (PC platform)  In V6, we still offer KRX-3 decoders for the legacy systems
