DIGIZON - KCS Digital

Dulles international airport, Washington D.C., US.
Dubai international airport, Dubai.
Inchon international airport, Korea.
These famous, highly trafficked airports have chosen KCS Digital to meet the demand of Real-Time surveillance, wireless multicast video transmission and mobile management to build the ever important security management of a giant international airport. To meet this demand, KCS Digital has developed the H.264 Full D1 high-resolution digital surveillance system, a pioneer application of digital surveillance.

The high-end H.264 digital surveillance system developed by KCS Digital utilizes real H.264 codec (by ITU/ISO), reaching the industry demand of the highest full D1 resolution quality while requiring the lowest bandwidth. Additionally, this system has the best error resilience capability in a wireless network environment. KCS Digital is collaborating with a Japanese SI partner, who is famous for this type of system. As a result, KCS Digital and its partner has successfully built a new-generation digital surveillance application.

Wireless multicast transmission & real time surveillance
KCS Digital understands that it’s difficult to install surveillance systems in auto-driving trains on the move, especially when the operation distance is over 10 KM. In these type of cases, KCS Digital allows cameras inside the train to take images from both the front and inside the train. Passengers can then see the live images on a LCD monitor inside the train and feel at ease knowing that they are safe. On the other hand, management staffs can monitor everything related to the train operations, in real time, at the central management center in order to ensure the safety of their passengers and instantly react to any urgent cases.
Because the train is moving at the speed of 40 KM per hour or faster, it is unable to build wired LAN to transmit real time video. Therefore, KCS Digital has, in 2 different projects, put a wireless emitter inside the train to transmit the digital surveillance video to the AP, which are placed next to the train rails and then transmit those videos to the central management center via a 2.4G fiber network.
KCS Digital has completely revolutionized real time surveillance by realizing and developing the H.264 high-end digital video compression technology. Compared with other digital compression technologies, H.264 technology has the best transmitting ability in a wireless (Wi-Fi) environment. KCS Digital also strengthens the error resilience ability of the system in wireless (Wi-Fi) environment. Moreover, the additional benefit from cooperation with our SI partner, who that possesses the best wireless (Wi-Fi) proficiency in Japan, resulted in KCS Digital winning contracts with 2 international, world renown airports, beating out numerous international competitors.

Full frame rate & Full D1 High Resolution with low bandwidth
Taking the Dubai International Airport as an example, more than 200 cameras will be installed inside the trains and around fixed locations throughout the airport during the first stage of construction. More than 200 channels of full D1 high-resolution image will be simultaneously transmitted to different monitor centers and a central management room. Although a 2.4G fiber network is built inside the airport, a key issue in traditional digital surveillance systems is the problem of overloading the bandwidth. However, with the ability of the KCS Digital advanced video server's H.264 technology, the Dubai International Airport only needs a bandwidth of 1 Mbps or above to transmit videos at a full frame rate & full D1 high resolution digital video for each channel. Not only does KCS Digital only require a low bandwidth, it also lessens the loading requirement of network bandwidths, solving the common problem of bandwidth shortages with large-scale constructions of digital surveillance systems.

The most efficient real time multi-channel recording
In this case, every full frame rate & full D1 video on each channel must be transmitted in real time to the recording server in central management room in order to proceed with a complete recording. KCS Digital's high-end digital surveillance system can support each recording server in simultaneously receiving and recording videos on up to 32 channels. Also, because of the complete realization of the highest compression rate of H.264 technology, KCS Digital’s surveillance system can tremendously decrease the total cost of hardware. Compared to other video compression technologies, KCS Digital’s surveillance system only requires 1/2 to 1/3 of the storage capacity required by any other leading surveillance system.

Multicast integrated monitoring and centralized management
In this case, cameras are placed in moving trains and in many fixed locations within the airport. The captured digital videos are then transmitted, in real time, to the trains, station monitor center, central management center and central management room. KCS Digital's high-end digital surveillance system is capable of transmitting at a full frame rate & full D1 multiple-channel digital video to multiple sites, all in real time, while keeping the peer-to-peer video delay time under 0.5 seconds and maintaining a low bandwidth requirement.

Remote controlling
Furthermore, KCS Digital's high-end digital surveillance system also has capability of control from a remote location. Users can access the central management system from off-site locations, allowing users to control and manage all the equipment remotely. Its easy to see why our surveillance system achieves the best and most efficient methods of centralized management.

Mobile management and System expansion
In this case, management staffs can use a PC, via wired or wireless network, to access the central management system monitor each channel in real time, while simultaneously managing all equipments in the system. KCS Digital’s surveillance system overcomes the immobility and rigidity of traditional surveillance system, transforming surveillance into a fluid, mobile management.

Flexibility
Moreover, considering the further expansion of the system, KCS Digital offers unparalleled flexibility. As long as the newly added equipment is connected to the current network, the equipment can be automatically recognized and set up by the central management system. This means that it take minimal time to complete an expansion of the surveillance system, decreasing incoming costs and cutting the time it takes to construct the system.

Highly supporting customized development of an application interface
The requirements of a surveillance system differ from applications in different domains. In this case, KCS Digital offers a complete and useful professional Software Development Kit (SDK) to our System Integration partner in Japan, developing to special application software to meet the rapid custom-made requests in a competitive market.
