Everfocus EPHD16-U, an embedded Linux-based universal DVR, comes with 16-channel HD-SDI and analogue video inputs. This product supports video signals from D1, 960H, 720P to 1080P in one single DVR and also features triple streams for live view, playback and recording. The EPHD16-U supports recording 480 (NTSP) / 400 (PAL) frames per second at 1080P, and can be played back 16 channels of HD-SDI recordings simultaneously. The model also supports RS-485 serial interface, 2 USB interfaces and 1 RJ45 (10/100/1000)Base-T Ethernet interface. Other than that, the EPHD16-U can be expanded up to 7 SATA devices (6 SATA HDDs and 1 eSATA), to ensure the large capacity of the HD-SDI video recordings.

According to Aska Liu, Deputy Project Manager of Everfocus, "since Everfocus has already provided a comprehensive product lineup, including IP, HD-SDI and analogue hardware devices, we also look into universal devices for mutually beneficial purpose." The EPHD16-U can take all signals, no matter HD-SDI, 960H, or D1. Moreover, Everfocus also provides mobile apps, which allow users to view the HD-SDI camera streams via their mobile devices (iOS or Android platforms). The ease of high-quality and high-definition video is the most important piece. Users can take the HD-SDI video and record it in 1080P, see the HD-SDI video remotely or locally. Everfocus has aimed to make it both easy and cost-effective. Everyone can benefit from this standard of resolution in HD-SDI.  The company expects that a substantial portion of it's revenues to be attributed to HD-SDI going forward.

Since Everfocus has made acceptable HD-SDI products for the market, applications of the HD-SDI solutions are no longer limited to the high-end markets, and can be widely applied. In early 2014, Everfocus built-up an HD-SDI system, including 20 DVRs (EPHD04+) and 50 outdoor IR dome cameras (EHH5101) on the Nexco-West (West Nippon Expressway Company Ltd) highway toll booths located in Hiroshima, Yamaguchi, Japan. According to the customer, the toll booths require a system that is reliable and can produce clear images no matter whether it is for the staff or the POS machine. Moreover, cameras with anti-rain/snow facility and small-in-size features are considered as the key points to consider. Therefore, they chose Everfocus’ HD-SDI DVR and outdoor IR dome camera. 

At present, the HD-SDI product lineup offered by Everfocus includes HD-SDI DVRs up to 8-channel, and HD-SDI cameras in a variety of models, including mini metal, bullet, dome and box types. The outdoor HD-SDI cameras are also IP66-rated for weather resistance. Furthermore, Everfocus also provides HD-SDI accessories, including HD-SDI to HDMI converter, HD-SDI to fibre transmitter/receiver and HD-SDI repeater). The EPHD16-U universal DVR has just been released in to the market in June, 2014. With the announcement of the EPHD16-U universal DVR, users can benefit from its low latency, clear live-view HD-SDI signals over hundreds of metres of coaxial or Cat5e/Cat6 cables and easy installation at an affordable price.
