Cornet Technology to Provide Digital Video Compression Products for Georgia DOT Expansion.Video IP encoders and decoders to be used in Atlanta Intelligent Transportation System expansion project SPRINGFIELD, Va. -- Video Convergence, the video products and integration services division of Cornet Technology, Inc. (CTI (Computer Telephone Integration) Combining data with voice systems in order to enhance telephone services. For example, automatic number identification (ANI) allows a caller's records to be retrieved from the database while the call is routed to the appropriate party. ), announced that its iVDO Streamer 2/4 Encoders and Decoders will be used by the Georgia Department of Transportation The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is the government agency responsible for building and maintaining state roads in the U.S. state of Georgia. Their headquarters is located across the street from the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta. (GDOT GDOT Georgia Department of Transportation (USA) GDOT Greensboro Department of Transportation (North Carolina) ) in the expansion of its Atlanta Metro Area This article is about the music production team.

Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The first project of this expansion encompasses approximately a 10-mile stretch of I-285 on the southeast side of Atlanta. The installation begins in early fall and is scheduled for completion by February 2007. GDOT currently runs an analog video The original video recording method that stores continuous waves of red, green and blue intensities. In analog video, the number of rows is fixed. There are no real columns, and the maximum detail is determined by the frequency response of the analog system. system, but is upgrading to an Internet protocol See Internet and TCP/IP. (networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. (IP) based network. CTI's iVDO Streamer 2/4 Encoders and Decoders were evaluated along with products from other qualifying vendors. The iVDO Streamer products were the only encoders/decoders that met all of the project specifications. The iVDO Streamers' IP technology will enable access to real-time images from any location. Officials monitoring live video streams will be able to communicate and share current information among pertinent agencies rapidly and efficiently, allowing swift reaction to emergency situations. The move to an IP network for the ITS expansion will bring multiple benefits. According to Mark Demidovich, Assistant State Traffic Operations Engineer, GDOT, "The implementation of an IP-based network, using the iVDO Streamers Streamers is a play by David Rabe. The last in his Vietnam War trilogy that began with The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel and Sticks and Bones , will assist GDOT in its traffic and incident management function by allowing us to view and quickly share information. This new architecture will provide improved video quality, reliability and flexibility for potential growth." Asha Kamath, Senior Account Executive, Video Convergence division, Cornet Technology, Inc. said, "We are pleased that our iVDO Streamers have been selected for the GDOT project in the Atlanta Metro Area. GDOT's shift to a digital system will give the department access to real-time traffic video to help officials increase road safety and decrease congestion The condition of a network when there is not enough bandwidth to support the current traffic load. congestion - When the offered load of a data communication path exceeds the capacity. by improving response times to emergency situations."
