HDcctv Technology
High-Definition Closed Circuit Television, or HDcctv, is built on technology pioneered for broadcast
television. Video is transmitted uncompressed and without being encapsulated in TCP/IP.
The result of this is a system in which a camera can be plugged into a receiving device and video can
be displayed without latency and with zero configuration. HDcctv hopes to bring all of the benefits
claimed by megapixel IP cameras to the CCTV market with the ease of use of conventional analog
CCTV equipment.
HDcctv is a point-to-point system and does not require any additional infrastructure to deploy.
New and existing installations can use CCTV industry standard coaxial cable (RG/59, RG/6 and RG/11).
HDcctv is designed to be a drop-in replacement for existing analog CCTV,
requiring only a change of camera and receiver. HDcctv is designed to be forward- and backward-
compatible, meaning early adopters will be able to continue to use HDcctv equipment as more features
are added to the specification. HDcctv operating at 720P provides almost three times the video
resolution of analog CCTV, and 1080P provides six times the resolution. In addition,
all HDcctv systems are progressive, eliminating the flicker and blurring associated with conventional analog CCTV systems.
