Hardened H.264 video server

Gouda, The Netherlands

Optelecom-NKF announces the Siqura C-60 E-MC as their new "flagship" encoder. It is the world's first hardened, multi-format quad-streaming video server, according to the company.


The Siqura C-60 E-MC is capable of streaming H.264, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, and MJPEG simultaneously. Each stream is optimized for its purpose, e.g. using high quality H.264 or MPEG-2 for live viewing, low bandwidth H.264 or MPEG-4 for storage, and low resolution MJPEG for web applications or mobile devices such as PDAs. Optelecom-NKF implemented H.264 on dedicated hardware providing the best possible video quality.

The Siqura C-60 E-MC is specifically designed for demanding unconditioned outdoor applications including roadside cabinets for traffic monitoring, remote monitoring for safety in industrial locations, and security for high-value facilities such as oil fields and chemical plants. Tested under harsh environmental conditions, the C-60 E-MC complies with the NEMA 2 standard regarding operating temperature (-40º C to +74º C / -40º F to +165º F) and vibration.

The C-60 E-MC is based on an open protocol and standardized video stream implementation and is easily integrated with third-party (VMS) software.

Peter de Konink, Optelecom-NKF product line manager, Codecs and Analytics, comments, "The C-60 E-MC excels in projects where future-proof technology needs to be combined with reliability, availability, and, above all, quality."

The C-60 E-MC complements the range of H.264 products and software in the Siqura product line.
