POWAY, Calif., June 17, 2014 ndash; CohuHD Costar, LLC (OTC Markets Group: CSTI) today announced a  Ultra long-range PTZ camerasignificant performance improvement in its popular 8800HD series video surveillance solution, with the addition of a new 120x, 2,000mm HD optical zoom lens option. The increase in performance over the prior model includes zoom magnification, system sensitivity, and narrower angular field of view:
  • 50% Improvement in Native Focal Length (1,000 mm vs 660 mm)
  • 20% Improvement when Lens Extender is inserted (2,000 mm vs 1,680 mm)
  • 30% Improvement in Camera System Sensitivity (f3.5 vs f4.0)
  • 50% Improvement in "How Far Can I See?" (20% with Lens Extender inserted)
 
CohuHD Costarr's 8800HD Series combines full high-definition (HD) image resolution with high-powered HD performance lens optics for delivering unprecedented image quality and detail for long-range surveillance applications in the visible spectrum.
 
 
By comparison, CohuHD Costarr's 8800HD Series can deliver up to 6 times the resolution and detail of traditional standard-definition long-range camera systems. Our pixels-on-target calculator determines how far you can see by calculating the maximum range a target can be detected. With this exceptional performance, the 8800HD is ideal for perimeter security, border patrol, and protecting airports, ports, military, maritime, and other critical infrastructure.
 
 
In addition to superior image quality and excellent long-range zoom optics, the 8800HD system delivers its HD video across standard digital network infrastructures. It does this by using H.264 image compression technology, which requires a fraction of the bandwidth traditional MPEG4 or MJPEG requires.

The 8800HD superior image quality is generated by a 1/2.7" CMOS 1080p30 progressive scan day/night sensor. Image performance and color reproduction are superb even under challenging lighting conditions. In night mode, the camera enhances low light viewing by automatically switching the IR filter out of the optical path, delivering a monochrome image.
 
 
The improved Long-range surveillance is achieved by the integrated 60x HD-quality zoom lens optics, with focal length ranging from 16.7mm to 1,000mm. The lens includes a remotely controlled 2.0x lens extender which can be inserted in the optical path, increasing the maximum focal length to 2,000mm. The camera systems Horizontal Angular Field Of View of 0.17 degrees is achieved at full zoom with extender inserted.
 
 
The 8800HD Series offers a standalone camera system or a fully integrated long-range HD camera positioner system. The 8800HD camera positioner includes a variable high-speed pan and tilt drive, 360 degree continuous pan (azimuth) and +/- 30 degree tilt (elevation) movements. Manual control positioning speeds range from 0.05 to 45 degrees per second.
 
 
The 8800HD provides a full-function web server, enabling complete administrative and operator control.
