COE selected for major upgrade at Manchester airport
Manchester, UK
Ian Jefferson, CEO of COE Group PLC comments:
“The selection of COE’s X-Stream video encoders for yet another major CCTV operation is testament to the exceptional performance of this equipment. When upgrading major sites, the necessity to maintain absolute operational control during and after the project is paramount. X-Stream video encoders offer best-of-breed performance to ensure the operator faces little adjustment to his daily activities to realise the benefits of the integrated IP transmission and recording solution.”
Offering <80ms latency and superior video quality to competitors’ H.264 Base Profile and MPEG4 video encoders, X-Stream will offer the closest experience possible to analogue camera control for the operators at the Airport. At Manchester Airport, video monitoring is multifunctional, serving as a set of electronic eyes for 100 individual users, assisting in a variety of diverse functions, from crowd monitoring in retail areas, to baggage handling and air traffic control. X-Stream’s low latency video delivery combined with exceptional picture quality ensures the migration process from analogue to IP is seamless for these operators.
Mr Geoff Densham, Project Manager with Manchester Airport PLC states;
“COE’s history of providing equipment for high profile surveillance sites combined with the high quality performance of their products made them an excellent choice for the IP encoding and transmission solution at Manchester Airport. The powerful integrated solution provided by COE with partner Imperium Integration Ltd’s front end control system will enhance our operational efficiency and the scope of all CCTV activities across the site. In addition, X-Stream encoders provide a road map for future analytics opportunities.”
