Solution Highlights Flexible Monitoring Solution for Military and Government Applications
ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 29 -- (MILCOM, Booth #905) - Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS), an international communications and information technology company, announced its award-winning CENTRIO(TM) broadcast multiviewer has been expanded to provide military and government customers with more options for implementing the latest multiviewer technology for command and control, communication, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. The solution is part of Harris Corporation's portfolio of products, systems and services supporting the Department of Defense Global Information Grid, which are being displayed during MILCOM 2007 in Orlando, Fla.
The CENTRIO(TM) multiviewer is a breakthrough multi-image processor that features superior graphics, industry-proven architecture and integrated test and measurement tools and provides capabilities uniquely suited to defense and intelligence communities. CENTRIO(TM) allows users to create different views of the world and fuse them into one image that can be routed anywhere, making video analysis a shared work tool among organizations. The multiviewer enables users to build a distributed visualization of data sets, shared through one display and routed to other locations in real time.
"CENTRIO has already gained early market recognition within the broadcast industry as a cost-effective solution for streamlining complex, large-system multi-display monitoring applications," said Tim Thorsteinson, president of Harris Broadcast Communications. "Its innovative architecture and functionality also make CENTRIO ideal for network operations, command and control centers, training facilities, tactical operations centers or other places that require dynamic access to a large number of inputs and multiple displays."
For mission-critical applications, the CENTRIO multiviewer's on-screen control and built-in rules designer allow users to view more information and respond to the system more quickly and effectively. The rules designer can be set up to recognize military-based language or other criteria, and then send alerts through a variety of means. Video analysts can, for example, program the CENTRIO(TM) multiviewer to alert them when motion is detected in a critical video event, then enlarge that image and send out alarms on the multiviewer as well as into a computer network.
The CENTRIO multiviewer can be connected to many networks and integrate data from more than 512 video or audio inputs, thermal sensors, x-ray machines, surveillance cameras and more into one visual package. When CENTRIO is connected to a network, it can automatically notify users by PDA, cell phone or other mechanisms that an event has occurred.
CENTRIO is among a wide range of Harris solutions that optimize the core processing workflows of today's broadcast, government and military operations. The multiviewer is available as a standalone platform or as part of a system solution integrated with the Harris(R) Platinum(TM) router.
Harris Broadcast Communications offers products, systems and services that provide interoperable workflow solutions that span the entire broadcast delivery chain. The Harris ONE approach brings together highly integrated and cost-effective products that are ideal for emerging media business models and for customers upgrading media operations to digital and high-definition services.
