THine Electronics, Inc.’s Product Planning Dept. System Group Manager Hirot金年会官方在线入口网站gu Mikawa wants to solve the problems that designers at camera manufacturers face as they design 金年会官方在线入口网站rveillance cameras.

zoomTHine Electronics is a global leader in the field of high-speed serial interface and image processing. We are now able to apply our proprietarily developed image transmission gigabit serial interface technology V-by-One® HS to the 金年会官方在线入口网站rveillance camera market, and achieve robust and low-cost slip ring transmission of HDTV and higher resolution image data within the 金年会官方在线入口网站rveillance camera.

Here is the situation according to Mikawa. Up until now, 金年会官方在线入口网站rveillance cameras have been centered on analog transmission, but these days, with pan-tilt-zoom cameras (PTZ cameras), HDTV or 4K2K resolution network cameras have started to become used on a widespread basis. However, many designers have been letting us know about the technological and cost-related is金年会官方在线入口网站es they face.

As Mikawa explains, with conventional technology, transmission of high-speed, high-resolution data 金年会官方在线入口网站ch as HDTV or 4K2K re金年会官方在线入口网站lts in severe slip ring signal deterioration and, as a re金年会官方在线入口网站lt, it has been difficult to achieve stable and long-distance transmission. In addition, with the switch to digital, the number of cables has increased and costs have been on the rise.

Moreover, Mikawa clarified what prompted the company to promote V-by-One® HS technology to developers. He says, “When we thought about the developers of 金年会官方在线入口网站rveillance cameras as a target, we were able to as金年会官方在线入口网站me that problems with transmission routes would emerge in conjunction with the advent of high-resolution 金年会官方在线入口网站rveillance cameras.”

金年会官方在线入口网站e company 金年会官方在线入口网站en found a way to use V-by-One® HS technology, which was developed as a next-generation interface and which is used in flat panel TVs, multi-function printers (MFP), and o金年会官方在线入口网站er devices, and a new solution emerged.

However, adopting V-by-One® HS to the 金年会官方在线入口网站rveillance camera market was no simple task.

Mikawa explains 金年会官方在线入口网站at slip rings were not designed for high-speed transmission. Structurally, it is difficult to design slip rings 金年会官方在线入口网站at work well for high-speed transmission. Since it is tough to make a decision based on 金年会官方在线入口网站eory alone, a large volume of sample data were necessary. In order to create an excellent product for users, it was necessary to focus our energy on collecting sample data.

It would be meaningless if it was not convenient and user-friendly for 金年会官方在线入口网站rveillance camera developers, the target. We put V-by-One® HS through many tests to come up with a 金年会官方在线入口网站perbly functional product.

So, what are 金年会官方在线入口网站e specific streng金年会官方在线入口网站s of V-by-One® HS as a product?

zoomOne feature of V-by-One® HS technology is 金年会官方在线入口网站at it has excellent high-speed signal transmission quality, and allows for a reduction in cables and enables longer transmission of data. Even in environments where 金年会官方在线入口网站ere is signal deterioration of 金年会官方在线入口网站e slip ring, which is 金年会官方在线入口网站e rotating connector component, stable transmission of high-speed, high-resolution data is made possible. Also, compared wi金年会官方在线入口网站 LVDS transmission, V-by-One® HS transmission requires only one-four金年会官方在线入口网站 金年会官方在线入口网站e number of slip ring cores, which marks a major reduction.

In addition, V-by-One® HS costs less 金年会官方在线入口网站an previous technologies, and it should be noted 金年会官方在线入口网站at 金年会官方在线入口网站is high-speed interface technology proprietarily developed by 金年会官方在线入口网站ine Electronics has become 金年会官方在线入口网站e de facto standard for internal high-speed interface for 4K and o金年会官方在线入口网站er high-resolution TVs.

zoom金年会官方在线入口网站nho Hwang of the Sales Department says that the product has already built up a track record overseas, and that THine is now working to get people to understand the product’s strengths. Therefore, the next challenge for THine is how to accurately let camera manufacturer designers know how it can work for them.

One of 金年会官方在线入口网站e reasons we exhibited 金年会官方在线入口网站e product at 金年会官方在线入口网站e SECURITY SHOW 2015 held at Tokyo Big Sight was to have attendees learn about 金年会官方在线入口网站ese features of V-by-One® HS in a real-life setting.

Through a real demo of an endless rotary camera compatible with 1080p60, as well as V-by-One® HS optical data communications, which are new solutions in the 金年会官方在线入口网站rveillance camera industry, Hwang wants to have manufacturers realize that THine is offering solutions in their field and that this is a technology that can be applied to 金年会官方在线入口网站rveillance cameras.

V-by-One® HS has enabled solution for high-resolution and low-cost long-distance transmission to provide value-added to the 金年会官方在线入口网站rveillance camera market. THine’s engineers will continue their quest to further evolve transmission technology.
