Barco and Genetec integrate IP visualization and security into operations and control centers

Multinationals Barco and Genetec have re-joined their expertise resulting in an innovative Barco CMS plug-in integrated into Genetec's unified IP security solution, to improve visualization in operations and control centres.

The visualization and collaboration technology of ship and the Unified IP Security Genetec team up again to improve visualization and efficiency in operations and control centers with the new Barco CMS plug-in (Control Suite Management) within Genetec's Omnicast IP video surveillance system.

At an emergency operations center (EOC), a second can be critical to survival and efficient decision-making. To this end,, the application node TransForm N Barco and its CMS control room management software has been integrated with Genetec's Omnicast system.

As a result,, multiple operators working on an incident can quickly have visual information from numerous sources to form a common operational image. This single point of view can be moved to a video wall or any screen on the network, in order to provide a global vision to promote greater understanding and facilitate collaboration between the various agencies in the event of a large-scale emergency.

With the interface that is established between Barco CMS and Genetec Omnicast, public bodies can deliver IP video streams to the EOC in a secure and controlled manner, allowing access only to allowed sources, as well as the central record of each activity to ensure the security of information.

Operators can capture information from more sources and easily view video surveillance camera sequences, dragging and dropping it into various points of view using the CMS graphical user interface. By gaining greater access and control of any type of IP video stream, operators can accumulate a lot of crucial information and organize it efficiently, improving awareness of the situation until the last minute to ensure rapid action.

As Francis Lachance points out, Genetec product manager, "we have been partnering for many years to achieve the best security and surveillance tools for the market. Our Omnicast video management system (Vms) integrates very well with Barco's N TransForm platform, which allows us to demonstrate our ability to integrate".
