picture quality of a CIF analogue DVR the alienHero HD 8ch Front The alienHero HD DVR (4ch no drives) Publication: XHD0514 1 Updated March 2014 www.alienhero.com I D -S E D ID H U G HD-SDI This is a CIF resolution image. 352px 288px Try reading the number plate & identifying the facial features of the man. Contrast this picture to the one on the facing page from the HERO HD-SDI. The car number plates are clearly recognisable and so are the man’s facial features. On a DVR that records in CIF quality, the image above would be effectively scaled to fit the screen and would be blurred and “blocky” the number plates would be harder to read and the man would be less recognisable. (See page 10 for an example) To do this comparison of CIF to HD-SDI, each image has been scaled so that they are in proportion to the pixels that they are recorded at. The CIF image size is around 20x less than the HD-SDI format and you could fit around 20 CIF images in to the HD-SDI one. 2 HD-SDI HD-SDI This is a HD-SDI resolution image. 1920px 1080px Try reading the number plate & identifying the facial features of the man. The HERO-HD records in the same resolution that you would receive from HD-TV at home, this is 1920x1080 pixels. So if it was displayed on a large monitor you get that sharp clarity and superb detail you require. The image on the left is a comparison of what a standard CIF image would look like from a standard DVR at 352 x 288 pixels. To do this comparison of CIF to HD-SDI, each image has been scaled so that they are in proportion to the pixels that they record at. So what you can recognise in one image and not the other is the “real world” difference of a CIF DVR to that of the new HERO HD-SDI DVR. The following pages explain HD-SDI HD-SDI 3 Ask the expert about HD-SDI... There’s no question that growing popularity of HD TV and SKY HD equipment within the general population has increased consumer expectations. What they see on TV they expect to see the same quality or better on their CCTV footage. I’ve created an outline below of some of the key facts about HD as a basic introduction for beginners and a handy referral to those already involved. ...What is HD-SDI CCTV? HD-SDI stands for High Definition Serial Digital Interface, but most people call it by the abbreviation HD-SDI. In essence the main advantage over traditional analogue CCTV systems is HD-SDI sends video in a digital uncompressed format to deliver staggering picture quality. Compared with a CIF recorder, our HERO HD DVR will record 20X the image quality !! (See our resolution chart on pg 9) HD-SDI High Definition Serial Data Interface 20x the quality of a CIF analogue DVR 16:9 4 HD-SDI The extra detail you can see on the video from an HD-SDI camera can often lead to a criminal conviction whereas the analogue camera would have not captured sufficient detail to convict. Since many CCTV installations already have existing co-ax cable installed, the upgrade path to High Definition CCTV will be less expensive by utilising HD-SDI technology rather than IP. Plus there are other benefits including little set up or IT knowledge is required, basically it’s easy to fit! You don’t need to upgrade every CCTV camera to HD-SDI at once on a site. By say upgrading 4 key areas like entrances, exits and tills with an HD-SDI DVR and four cameras you add massive value to a CCTV installation without changing it all. However please be aware because HD-SDI is a digital solution and traditional CCTV is analogue, you can not mix the two technologies. For example, an HD-SDI camera will not work on an existing analogue DVR and an HD-SDI DVR will not work with a traditional analogue CCTV camera. (For other practical considerations on HD-SDI see pg 7) HD-SDI Why use HD-SDI CCTV? Aside from the obvious advantage of broadcast quality images to help with clearer identification on recorded CCTV footage, HD-SDI also has a number of advantages over IP alternatives. 1920 x 1080px HD-SDI works with standard RG59 co-ax cable allowing an easy upgrade path for installers to replace analogue CCTV equipment without re-cabling a premises or modifying the customer’s network configuration. Using RG59 cabling means that an HD-SDI CCTV system isn’t reliant on the restrictions presented trying to transmit CCTV images over a network. It is a robust standalone solution that doesn’t suffer from network interruptions caused by bandwidth issues or latency in processing signals and data. This means smoother images with no unexpected lapses in recording. HD-SDI is also a global standard whereas IP standards and solutions do vary across the market. Although “ONVIF” (Open Network Video Interface Forum) is trying to set IP standards in reality many IP CCTV products in the real world fail to work with each other correctly, where as HD-SDI has far few issues. (see pg 6­­­­­ for other benefits). What is the future for HD-SDI? 100% Further exciting developments in HD CCTV are currently taking place which will see even more benefits for embracing this technology, these include sending the signal further without the use of repeaters (200mtr plus), down CAT5/6 cable and bi-directional communication. HD-SDI will really give IP CCTV a good run for its money over the next few years when you consider its practical advantages for system upgrades. In conclusion... HD-SDI is an opportunity for users of CCTV equipment to get huge benefits in system performance. Digital 1080p HD-SDI 5 HD-SDI ...What are the benefits of HD-SDI? alienHero HD DVR ...what are the main benefits? 1. Easy upgrade path as works with existing coaxial cabling - fast installation & minimum disturbance 2. No network configuration or modification needed - easy to install 3. Recording is immune to IP network interruptions 6 - standalone and robust 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Near zero latency (video delay) - smoother realtime image than IP Higher resolution than analogue CCTV cameras - up to 20X picture quality Global Standard for wider Compatibility - IP solution/standards vary 100% digital - less transmission noise than analogue CCTV Plug-and-Play - lower installation and commissioning cost Familiar easy to use alienDVR software - one software platform works with old and new DVRs Ultra friendly DVR menu - learn and use it in minutes HD-SDI HD-SDI ...4 things to consider for HD-SDI 1. Go LARGE! 2. 100m Rule HD-SDI Cameras produce a high resolution digital video signal that’s not compressed so it needs larger storage requirements than analogue CCTV to record data for the same period of time as a conventional analogue DVR. The maximum recommended cable run is 100m with HD-SDI and most HD-SDI CCTV systems will simply not function on runs above 150m without repeaters being installed, so design your system around this. 3. Quality is king 4. Time to upgrade Cable quality and installation care is important You can’t fit an HD-SDI camera on an old analogue DVR Traditional analogue camera systems are forgiving when it comes to bad quality cabling or cable but HD-SDI systems are less forgiving due to the size of the digital data flowing down the cable so it’s really important not use “budget cable” with HD-SDI. All System Q Ltd “AntiHum” branded CCTV cable is guaranteed great performance up to 100m with our HD-SDI cameras and DVRs. Because HD-SDI cameras are a digital output compared to the traditional analogue CCTV cameras you can not use an HD-SDI camera on an existing analogue DVR. (See page 4) You should, typically, select a larger hard drive Maximum cable run is 100m without HD-SDI repeaters ...is HD-SDI easy to install ? • Minimal setup is required • Little IT knowledge needed • No need to upgrade all cameras at once Since many CCTV installations already have existing Co-ax cable installed, the upgrade path to High Definition CCTV will be less expensive by utilising HD-SDI technology rather than IP. Plus there are other benefits including little setup or IT knowledge is required, basically it’s easy to fit! Upgrading an existing system: You don’t need to upgrade every CCTV camera to HD-SDI at once on a site. By upgrading 4 key areas like entrances, exits and tills you add massive value to a CCTV installation without changing it all. Valuable Storage Tills Upgrade key areas first for maximum value! Car parks Entrances HD-SDI 7 HD-SDI ...Understanding CCTV Resolutions CCTV equipment resolutions are often a bit mystifying but in essence all the different resolution means is how many pixels are used to make up the picture. The more pixels (small squares of colour) you have the more detail you can display! Most cheap analogue DVRs offer CIF recording, and the more expensive offer 4CIF. The alienHero HD DVR offers a staggering 1920 x 1080 pixel recording and live display. If you look at the diagram below you can see that it provides 20x more image quality than a cheap analogue DVR! 20x Quality!

All-in-One Controls DVRs & PTZs Compatible with alienDVR models: AlienPOD, Hero, Hero HD, MAX, MAX HD & Hybrid The alienPAD is a plug & play keypad to control alienDVRs and a wide range of PTZ cameras. Allowing the alienDVR to be securely stored away in a locked room or KitVault DVR enclosure, the alienPAD allows the operator to control both alienDVRs and PTZ cameras without accessing the DVR itself or using the CCTVwindow client software. Up to 31 alienDVRs and 255 PTZ cameras can be controlled from just the 1 alienPAD. Its layout is set out intuitively to allow the operator to use the joystick to easily manoeuvre PTZ cameras around and zoom in and out with just one hand. This leaves the other hand free to select cameras, call presets and even switch to a different alienDVR. For large scale installations in hospitals or town centres, up to 15 of the alienPADs can be used on one system. They are hardwired with standard CAT5 or similar twisted pair cable and can be used up to 1200 metres from the alienDVR itself. The alienPAD is compatible with 9 PTZ protocols including Pelco-D and Pelco-P and baud rate speeds from 1200 to 19200 bps as well as the alienDVR models of POD, Hero, HeroHD, Max, MAX HD & Hybrid. 32 HD-SDI Specification: Controls 31 alienDVRs Controls 255 PTZ cameras 3D joystick for PTZ RS485 connection & control mode 1200-19200bps baud rate compatible Requires CAT5 or similar (max 1200m) W360mm x D200mm x H108mm 12V DC 2Amp PSU supplied Kontrol & Kommand Module Adds 8 timed re lays to your system ! Control building & electrical systems using the Kontrol & Kommand module & the alienDVR Vital Stats: Control lights, gates, or whatever you want Creates building automation with an AlienDVR Easy to use & configure Adds Value to your DVR installation Works with same software as AlienDVR Connect up to 31 per DVR The Kontrol & Kommand module allows remote control of third party electrical equipment/systems via the alienDVR and CCTVWindow software. How it works - The CCTVWindow software sends “Kontrol” signals to the DVR that then forwards them on to a Kontrol & Kommand module. Each K&K has 8 separate relays that the software can control. The relays can be made to open or close for adjustable lengths of time, all programmable by the user. For example, you can send a signal via the CCTVWindow software to the DVR to open a relay for 2 minutes, you may use this to open a gate for a visitor. Or you may send a signal to another relay close for 3 hours which overrides a central heating controller. You might even trigger a third relay to open for 9 minutes to trigger a siren because you have spotted intruders. You can name each function and button in the software so that once it’s set up and configured it’s really easy to use. The big benefit of the Kontrol & Kommand unit over the DVR’s own relays is the ability to control the time each relay is open or closed for. You can even assign “groups” to the relays. Up to 31 K&Ks can be connected to each DVR allowing for great flexibility on installations in large buildings.
