Onvif introduces Profile T specification for advanced video streaming and analytical data

The organization has detailed this new specification, which has advanced video streaming capabilities, with features for analytical data and metadata, and H.265 support.

The Profile T specification (Profile T) of Onvif offers a new multimedia service to support the most used codecs for image transmissions from cameras with high definition: H.264 and the most current, H.265, so that they are used as needed.

With this latest codec, Profile T supports more efficient compression rates and therefore, storage requirements are reduced, of bandwidth and associated costs.

As pointed out by F. Per Björkdahl, chairman of Onvif's steering committee, "Profile T is an excellent example of how the organization has embraced technological advances within its specifications., and thus respond to the changing needs of this industry. In addition to supporting H.265, Profile T standardizes analytical data, transmission of metadata and other features to meet current and future market requirements for end users, system integrators and consultants".

Profile T integrates two-way audio streaming and standardized event types, ensuring that video management systems and other software clients use a set of events (included alerts such as handling and digital relay input/output, among others) to support all cameras, regardless of manufacturer.

Another advantage is that it is possible to analyze a specific part of an image by configuring the zone motion detection function using an analytical service..
