NUVICO has released the all-new, industry-exclusive HYDRA HD. HYDRA HD is a new, affordable solution for delivering HD video over coax cable. This is the same technology used in long-distance, 1080p HD video boosters, providing HD video over 1500 feet using RG59, RG6, or Ethernet cable. HYDRA HD recorders and cameras do not require any IP settings for setup in order to achieve full 1080p quality over existing coax or network cable.

HYDRA HD Recorders comes in 4-, 8-, and 16-channel models.

HYDRA HD delivers 1080p HD video to end users with existing coax or even video baluns without any updates or changes to their existing infrastructure.

If their existing cabling is capable of transmitting a standard definition picture then HYDRA HD is supported.

HYDRA HD is not a traditional HD-SDI solution which requires certain size cables to transmit full HD quality over long distance.

HYDRA HD technology will help analog installers jump to the HD video market at a much lower cost point and with far less complexity than traditional IP video or HD-SDI, thus ensuring customer satisfaction.

The HYDRA HD solution significantly reduces the inflated costs associated with rewiring along with the complexity of IP video products.

Imagine how many analog installations could be upgraded to HD quality video with minimal infrastructure cost.

An example of an opportunity to utilize HYDRA HD is a commercial customer who owns an existing analog system that was installed over four years ago.

Due to the lack of detail in the analog video playback, the customer wanted to upgrade to high-definition video. An installer could offer to replace the existing coax cable with a brand new network cable, which would require spending hours of labor to install an IP system.

He could even attempt to employ an SDI camera but the short cable distance limitation would not work.

By selecting the HYDRA HD solution, the complete HD upgrade will require replacing the recorder and cameras but maintain the current cabling infrastructure.

This simple equipment replacement will provide the desired HD upgrade, ensuring very high customer satisfaction, thanks to significant cost and time savings.
