Excellent Work Done By Optibase for New York City IPTV Traffic Management System Deployment

By Carolyn J Dawson, TMCnet Contributor


The deployment and implementation of the Optibase IPTV (News - Alert) services based on the MGW 5100 and EZTV System using true carrier grade H.264 encoding platforms by Vitec earned the company the City of New York’s highest vendor ratings for performance. The leader in providing enhanced video solutions, Vitec encoded the platforms for New York City’s Department of Transportation (DOT).


Video information can now be exchanged between the DOT in New York City, thanks to the end-to-end Optibase IPTV system installed in the city. A range of government agencies are able to get this video feedback from the company’s network, thereby allowing for instant information sharing as well as a real-time alliance of such agencies in cases of critical events and other emergencies.

The MGW 5100 carrier grade and the DOT EX TV System platforms have the ability to encode, stream, play-out and manage several hundred real-time videos and feeds from the traffic cameras and street cameras situated across the city, all using just one single management interface and administration system. Video feeds can be viewed by about 5,000 users simultaneously by using the highly powered PC based video player from Optibase (News - Alert). Moreover, the video feeds can be viewed over plasma screen and TV monitors equipped with IP decoder based set top boxes at command centers. Camera locations can be identified by security agency personnel using a customized Remote Control GUI simply by looking at the city’s map view and tying them with the feed from a video playback.

A fully no-fail performance is ensured with the hot swappable components and complete redundancy of the automated systems. IT administrators can also easily manage the play and content distribution, including remote access, owing to the centralized management solutions from Optibase Cluster Manager.

In a release, the Vice President of the Optibase Sales at Vitec, Michael Chorpash (News - Alert) said, “We take pride in bringing in every project on time within budget and in providing overall excellent service to the customer. Being recognized for our excellence in deploying this complex video solution in one of the great cities of the world is very gratifying to our team.”
