Description
The effects of digital technology on the security industry require constant vigilance by security distributors, sales staff, and installation
professionals. Today and for the foreseeable future, all security professionals must have at least a basic understanding of digital
technology. Digital CCTV addresses this new challenge.
Topics convered include compression variables such as Lossless and
Lossy, which are explained by reviewing Huffman and Run Length Encoding (RLE), and by relating these forms of compression to ZIP and
Stuffit, which are commonly used in personal computers. A review of JPEG, motion JPEG, MPEG and wavelet compression schemes among others,
with a comparison of the merits of each, is also provided. As Digital CCTV traces the stream of digital video flow from the
computer industry through compression, transmission, display and storage, and explains how analog video signal is converted into a digital
signal, the reader will learn and understand the mysteries of digital science.
Audience
CCTV Installers, CCTV System Designers and manufacturers, Electronic Security Distributors, CCTV and integrated system sales professionals, security managers, security consultants
