Aimetis Symphony First VMS with Analytics to Support Axis' Corridor Format

Axis’ corridor format gives a vertically oriented, 9:16 video stream from the camera, perfectly adapted to a narrow monitored area.

  • Jan 24, 2011
Aimetis Symphony is the first video management software with video analytics to support Axis Communications’ Axis Corridor Format, according to Aimetis.

Many surveillance environments are more “vertical” than “horizontal” in a variety of situations – including store aisles/bays, hallways, stairwells and corridors – for which the traditional video format is not suitable. Axis’ corridor format gives a vertically oriented, 9:16 video stream from the camera, perfectly adapted to a narrow monitored area. This maximizes image quality while eliminating typical bandwidth and storage waste of landscape formats. The Axis corridor format is a unique and innovative solution that maximizes image quality while eliminating bandwidth and storage waste in a range of industry segments including education, retail, transportation and office environments.

According to Marc Holtenhoff, CEO of Aimetis, “We are excited to lead the way in providing video analytics for Axis’ corridor format. By using Aimetis Symphony with Axis corridor view, analytics can be leveraged on a more optimal field of view, thus extending the distance analytics can be effective.”

Aimetis Symphony combines robust video management and video analytics in one unified software platform. By analyzing video in real-time, organizations can achieve the desired business impact through timely and actionable information. Aimetis Symphony’s simple and straightforward licensing options offer maximum flexibility, ease of use and a cost-effective entry point for the seamless migration to IP-surveillance. All of this is backed by the industry’s best support.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
