Vista has released its new IP monitors, claimed as an industry first. They’re designed to remotely display images on an IP system without the need for a PC or client software.
Until now, the standard solution to remotely display images on an IP system has been to use an analogue camera looped through a monitor and into an encoder, which results in a lower resolution D1 image. The new 24-inch and 32-inch IP networked monitors have an in-built hardware decoder and can display high-definition, 1080p video from a single stream or four D1 streams from separate cameras in quad format.
The monitors are set up via a mouse-driven GUI. Because they’re based on ONVIF, they decode streams from the Vista range of IP cameras as well as third party cameras.
Bob Forehand, Product Manager for Vista, says: “These IP monitors are a great example of Vista’s drive to provide customers with highly relevant solutions before anyone else in the market. They’re ideal for use as public display monitors in retail, as well as for use in receptions in commercial premises and hospitals. They also make great staff awareness monitors in areas such as petrol stations.” Features include:
Built-in IP decoder, which removes the need for extra PCs and clients to remotely display images on IP systems
Full HD images
Full screen or quad displays; a monitor can be programmed to display any four cameras from the network
ONVIF protocol, which allows the display of images from multiple manufacturers’ cameras; and
Mouse driven OSD menus
