The HD Tour 2012 from Samsung Techwin and Beta Cavi successfully kicks off in Barcelona

La división de seguridad de la compañía surcoreana Samsung, Samsung Techwin, y la firma italiana Beta Cavi, especialista en el sector del cable, han puesto en marcha el HD Tour 2012, una serie de jornadas formativas destinadas a ingenierías, integradores de sistemas y gerentes de seguridad de distintos organismos y empresas, que tienen como tema principal la videovigilancia HD y Full HD, y que han realizado su primera parada en Barcelona.

Las jornadas técnicas de formación HD Tour 2012, que prestan especial atención a los sistemas en su conjunto y al uso de nuevas tecnologías HD-SDI y Megapíxel IP, han comenzado en Barcelona con una amplia asistencia de ingenieros, installers and system integrators, que han podido profundizar en los conceptos básicos y avanzados de la tecnología HD-SDI, así como en las capacidades de los cables que fabrica Beta Cavi and their ease of installation.

Luca Vittorio Cappelletti, Sales and Marketing Manager Europe at Beta Cavi, and Pablo Soto, Presales and Technical Manager- Spain and Portugal at Samsung, have been responsible for carrying out the technical training. According to Cappelletti, “it is necessary for installers to know the possibilities of BetaCavi cables in Full HD video surveillance solutions- SDI because it is the only way to ensure that the signal from the cameras reaches the recorders and monitors perfectly.”

For your part, Pablo Soto has shown how easy it is to adapt an analog installation to Full HD, thanks to Samsung solutions. “HD-SDI is a technological alternative to be considered by the various sectors that provide video surveillance solutions along with HD-IP solutions, Full HD-IP and Analog. Depending on the needs of each market sector, one solution or the other can be chosen. With HD-SDI, coming from the broadcast world and having been adapted to the world of video surveillance, an important step has been taken towards the highest image quality both in live viewing and in its storage.
