iVDO Viewer will be showcased at the ITS America 2005 Annual Meeting and Exposition 

Springfield, Va. -- May 2, 2005 -- Video Convergence, the video surveillance products and integration services division of Cornet Technology, Inc. (CTI), announced the availability of the iVDO Viewer software decoder at the ITS America 2005 Annual Meeting and Exposition in Phoenix, Arizona. The iVDO Viewer software decoder enables multiple high-quality, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 video streams to be viewed simultaneously on any computer connected to the IP network. Multiple images viewed on demand and in real time help users in the video surveillance and intelligent transportation industries by providing a more comprehensive view of the surveillance area and maximizing the capabilities of the surveillance system.

CTI will host demonstrations of the iVDO Viewer at booth #1227 during ITS America 2005 in Phoenix, Arizona on May 2-4, 2005.

The iVDO Viewer offers the following features and benefits:

• Multiple Simultaneous Views Enable Comprehensive Surveillance -- The iVDO Viewer can deliver multiple video streams simultaneously. This provides a more comprehensive view of the surveillance area.
• Auto-discovery Facilitates GUI Creation -- The iVDO Viewer’s auto-discovery, or Session Announcement Protocol (SAP), feature automatically detects all encoders on the network and creates a clickable GUI of the video streams.
• Mouse-enabled Pan, Tilt, Zoom (PTZ) Camera Control Eases Manipulation-- The iVDO Viewer enables users to employ pan, tilt and zoom functions to manipulate cameras through the movement of the mouse. The user drags the mouse over top of the image being viewed to pan and tilt the camera. The scroll wheel is used to zoom in and zoom out of the image.

Additional features include:

• Decodes both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 video streams
• Maintains original aspect ratio of video stream through automatic sizing
• Integrates with other CCTV systems through Application Program Interface (API)
• Supports encoding of RTP or UDP video streams
• Compatible with Cohu, Pelco and Vicon cameras
