IPELA HYBRID™– Sony’s IP and Analog-over-Coax Technology*1 –
Offers Cost-effective and Environmentally-friendly Retrofit Solutions
for Existing Analog CCTV Systems

Sony offers a new video surveillance technology that can simultaneously transmit both IP and analog signals

on a single coaxial cable. It allows customers to easily migrate to HD IP video surveillance systems with

minimal investment, utilizing their existing analog infrastructure. Based on this technology – IPELA HYBRID – Sony

offers solutions that comprise hybrid cameras along with SLOC-compatible devices*

These unique solutions deliver the following advantages:

Cost-effective and environmentally-friendly surveillance systems that can be easily migrated from an analog

CCTV system to an IP network-based system, making the most of any existing surveillance infrastructure (e.g.

coaxial cables, local power supplies, matrix switchers, controllers, and video wall monitors)

Simultaneous transmission of IP HD video and analog SD video

Utilization of the advanced features and functionalities offered by IP network cameras

Maximum cable length of 300 m (1,000 feet) with an RG-59 coaxial cable*

Minimized latency of analog video and PTZ control for video monitoring

Sony’s hybrid camera solutions can be used in a wide variety of surveillance applications, and in locations

such as commercial facilities, financial institutions, office buildings, casinos, airports, government-related

facilities, and schools.

*1 Sony’s IP and analog-over-coax technology is developed based on Intersil Corporation’s SLOC™ (Security Link Over Coax) technology.
*2 For information on SLOC-compatible devices, please contact your nearest Sony office.
