NEXCOM’s NViS 6200 NVR provides a comprehensive solution for video intelligence and advanced management capabilities. Hybrid NVRs face additional workloads due to the need to encode analog video and NVRs that transmit video to networked devices must perform transcoding in order to convert high-resolution camera feeds into more network-friendly formats. Together these workloads present a major computational burden. 2nd generation Intel Core processors are ideally suited for this kind of work. The graphics and media capabilities built into these processors provide performance levels that previously required a separate graphics card. The graphics engine moves video encoding, decoding and transcoding functions usually done in software into dedicated hardware known as Intel Quick Sync Video. This hardware provides native support for all mainstream codecs and the ability to handle multiple 1080p streams simultaneously. To illustrate the advantages of this new hardware, processor power is cut in half over the previous generation for HD video playback.
Additional graphics optimizations come from the new Intel Clear Video HD Technology. This advanced video processing logic provides better performance in de-noise, de-interlace, sharpen, scaling, and color processing operations. This suite of hardware and software technologies uses advanced video techniques to remove jitter and create crisper visuals – all the better for reading license plates or identifying a face. To improve analytics performance, 2nd generation Intel Core processors include the new Intel Advanced Vector Extensions instruction set, an advanced form of Intel Streaming SIMD Extensions. Intel AVX widens the data path from 128 bits to 256 bits and introduces other upgrades that provide up to double peak FLOPS performance compared to Intel® SSE4 instructions. This performance boost is no small matter when a single NVR can have up to 32 channels of megapixel cameras feeding it video.
To enable security customers to take advantage of 2nd generation Intel Core processor performance gains, NEXCOM has developed the NViS 6200. This intelligent, hybrid NVR is a 2U rackmount system designed to accept uncompressed analog video input from older analog cameras, as well as digital video input from IP cameras and high-resolution IP megapixel cameras. The NViS 6200 includes smart technology of its own. While many hybrid solutions depend on add-in cards to capture feeds from analog camera, the NViS 6200 includes embedded video capture chips that can handle 32 channels of video at D1 resolution. This reduces the risk of compatibility problems with add-in cards and simplifies system design. Another valuable feature of NEXCOM’s hybrid surveillance solution is its abundance of expansion options. Users who want to expand the system with their own devices will find 16 PCIe 2.0 lane slots for exceptional scalability. Moreover, a Mini PCIe socket is available for wireless communication, which is especially useful for transmitting real-time alerts, video and images. For backing up recorded data, NEXCOM’s NViS 6200 includes 6 Gb/s SATA 3.0 hard drive options in a variety of capacities. This enables the NViS 6200 to store massive amounts of video.
