Milestone Systems, Matrox Graphics Introduce Enhanced Surveillance Solutions

  • May 11, 2009

Matrox Graphics Inc., a manufacturer of specialized graphics solutions, today announced a partnership with Milestone Systems to provide enhanced surveillance solution performance to the security market.

Matrox and Milestone will be launching this collaboration through an integration of the Milestone XProtect Smart Client with the Matrox VDA-1164 Video Decoding Accelerator for surveillance systems and operator stations in large-scale IP security networks.

"Matrox is committed to delivering the best security solutions possible to its customers, and partnering with Milestone, the leading provider of open-platform IP video management software, is a very positive progression," said Alain Thiffault, business development manager with Matrox Graphics. "With Milestone, we have the ability to add tremendous value by offering a complete security monitoring solution for any high-security installation environment."

The Matrox VDA-1164 brings hardware-accelerated IP video decoding capabilities to workstations running the Milestone XProtect Smart Client. By offloading the CPU of the video decoding burden, VDA-1164 enables optimal system responsiveness through its ability to simultaneously decode multiple streaming video formats from a variety of sources -- at full frame rate. With VDA-1164 processing all the graphics and video data, the result is real-time decoding and display of up to 16 D1 streams of smooth, high-quality video.

“Matrox has been a valuable partner for Milestone for a long time, delivering high-end, multi-monitor graphics cards suitable for video security installations,” said Martin Kaufmann, MSP program manager at Milestone Systems. “With VDA-1164, Matrox has taken innovation a step further by providing a solution that offloading the CPU by decoding live video streams directly. Showing a large number of high-quality video streams can be done in a number of ways, but Matrox has taken a unique approach with the VDA-1164 by placing this highly CPU-demanding process on a card rather than leaving it on the server. The Matrox VDA-1164 thereby fulfills a growing need in the market for large-scale installations to show multiple high- quality video streams, and the XProtect integration will be a valuable offering for Milestone users.”

  • The Stage is Set

    The security industry spans the entire globe, with manufacturers, developers and suppliers on every continent (well, almost—sorry, Antarctica). That means when regulations pop up in one area, they often have a ripple effect that impacts the entire supply chain. Recent data privacy regulations like GDPR in Europe and CPRA in California made waves when they first went into effect, forcing businesses to change the way they approach data collection and storage to continue operating in those markets. Even highly specific regulations like the U.S.’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) can have international reverberations – and this growing volume of legislation has continued to affect global supply chains in a variety of different ways.
