Mobotix extends Mx6 camera range
Mobotix has introduced four new indoor cameras – c26 , i26 , p26 and v26 – to complete its Mx6 6MP range .
The company said the new higher performing processor delivers up to twice as many images per second as before , at the same resolution . The video data is simultaneously offered in three formats ( MxPEG , MJPEG and H . 264 ), as well as in a range of different resolutions .
All of the models come standard with intelligent motion detection directly on the camera and offer more capacity for additional software applications .
As with the Mx6 outdoor cameras , now Mx6 indoor models are also available with a more powerful CPU as well as an H . 264 encoder . The new processor architecture increases the frame rate , which allows the cameras to do an even better job of capturing fast movements .
A spokesman for Mobotix said the new Mx6 camera system is far more flexible and higher performing , thanks to RTSP / Multicast . The video stream can be displayed on multiple clients simultaneously without reducing the frame rate .
In addition , Mx6 cameras also offer basic functions in keeping with ONVIF , a global open interface standard . This , the company said , opens up far more application and integration options for its partners and end customers .
‘ Regular software updates ensure that the performance of the Mx6 range continually improves , which in turn guarantees a maximum return on investment ,’ the company said . For further information visit : www . mobotix . com
Anritsu ’ s strengthens testing range
Anritsu Corporation said the functionality of the popular signalling tester MD8475B all-in-one base station simulator has been further strengthened with the release of the enhanced multi-signalling unit MD8475B-071 and LTE 4x4 MIMO option MX847550B-041 .
Adding this new option , the company said , supports the configuration of a simulation environment for 1Gbps IP data communications combining 4 × 4 MIMO with high-order modulation ( 256QAM ) and carrier aggregation .
Previous 1Gbps simulators required difficult setup using several pieces of equipment , but the all-in-one MD8475B simplifies measurement to not only increase test efficiency but also to cut capital expenditure .
Strengthening the MD8475B functions with these newly released enhanced multi-signalling unit MD8475B-071 hardware and LTE 4x4 MIMO option MX847550B-041 software for evaluating broadband communications will play a major role in the development of LTE 4x4 MIMO DL mobile terminals , the company said .
