ULTIMAX is a series of 3rd generation digital video recorders (see –> DIPOL ULTIMAX offer), with implemented, so far the most efficient, H. 264 compression. This type of deep compression is characterized by capability of providing good video quality at substantially lower bitrates than the previous standards. The standard was developed jointly in a partnership of VCEG and MPEG, and is marked as H. 264/AVC, AVC/H. 264, H. 264/MPEG-4 AVC, or MPEG-4/H. 264 AVC (AVC – Advanced Video Coding).
Network digital video recorders of ULTIMAX series are excellent digital surveillance products. Equipped with embedded MCU and dedicated real-time operating system (RTOS), they combine the most advanced electronic and computer technologies, such as efficient video and audio encoding/decoding, hard disk recording (support of virtually unlimited disc capacity), and TCP/IP protocols. The firmware is stored in flash memory, and can be easily updated.
Any device from the ULTIMAX series has both the features of a digital video recorder (DVR) and digital video server (DVS). It can work as stand-alone device, or be used to build powerful surveillance networks, widely used in banks, telecommunication companies, transportation, factories, warehouses etc.
The DVRs, being very versatile, support many special functions allowing cooperation with POS terminals, ATM/cash machines etc.

he basic criterion for actual quality of video monitoring system is ability of identifying people from the recorded video data and possibility of handing over the archives on original storage media for legal proceedings. ULTIMAX 7xx DVRs fulfill state requirements for video coverage of mass events in Poland and majority of other countries.
Due to efficient H. 264/AVC compression it is possible to record D1 images (704 x 576) at 25 fps (PAL) from each channel (camera). It means that the ULTIMAX-716 (16 channels) is capable of recording up to 400 fps with D1 resolution.
ULTIMAX 7xx DVRs end the era of frame by frame analysis. The playback of D1 images at 25 fps is similar to watching quality TV transmission or a DVD film rather than the typical jumps from image to image in the previous CCTV systems.
ULTIMAX-716 has huge storage potential – after installing eight HDDs with 2000GB (2TB) capacity each, the total disc space amounts to 16 TB. It allows to create enormous archives. Even in the case of simultaneous and continuous recording of video data from all 16 channels, with D1 resolution and maximum bitrate (8000 Kbps, it is enough for 285 hours, i. e. nearly 12 days and nights. Such archives would deliver DVD quality.
It is possible to test the actual frame rate by analyzing the images frame by frame and using a frame counter. Comparing the displayed time and the counter indications it is easy to prove the 25 fps rate.
Because of network operation, the priority is adequate security level. To protect the system and data against unauthorized access, there is multi-level access control, with passwords and defined privileges for local and network management (e. g. viewing images from cameras, accesses to archives, system setup). There can be defined MAC addresses of the computers capable of getting access to the DVR resources.

The DVR enables the administrator/operator to set resolution and frame rate independently for each camera. There is possibility of defining channels that are to be recorded after triggering alarm in a camera path, with long pre- and post-alarm periods.
Network software allows to manage several DVRs and other ULTIMAX and ULITCAM devices (video servers and IP cameras). Easy operation thanks to user-friendly graphic interface, including mouse pointer.
There is possibility of embedding maps (BMP files with deployment of cameras) which enable the operator of a bigger monitoring system to quickly localize the spots and manage the surveillance network.
Due to cooperation with external recorders/devices (CD/DVR, hard disc, USB flash drives) connected via USB port, it is easy to backup, review and playback the recordings.
DVR can get text/number strings through RS-232 or network port. The strings can be sent from devices such as ATM/cash machine, POS machine or others. DVR can paste the strings into the real time image and record. The same strings (entered from numeric keyboard) can be used as keys for searching the recorded files to play them back.

* ULTIMAX-516
* ULTIMAX-316

Sheet music began as musical notations written on clay tablets by ancient Babylonians. It was used by the ancient Greeks, survived the Dark Ages, and became an important musical force during the Renaissance Period. With the advent of the printing press, printed sheet music affected the music industry in ways unimaginable by past generations. Yes, the history of sheet music is a long one, at least four thousand years, and it has been a story of evolution and growing dissemination. Yet if all those ancient musicians could see the form that sheet music has taken today, they would find it impossible to fathom. In modern times, sheet music has, like most other forms of communication, joined the digital age.
Beginning in the end of the 20th century, there was a great deal of interest in representing sheet music in a computer-readable format, as well as downloadable files. Software that can “read” scanned sheet music, called music optical character recognition (music OCR), has existed since 1991. Needless to say, this software created a completely new manner of dissemination for sheet music which, in this format, was referred to as virtual sheet music.
Further progress was made in 1998 when virtual sheet music became digital sheet music. The difference between the two is that digital sheet music, for the first time, allows copyrighted sheet music to be purchased via the internet. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, digital sheet music files can be manipulated and altered as their virtual and hardcopy counterparts never could. Such an attribute makes digital sheet music ideal for instrument changes, transposition, and even musical instrument digital interface, or “midi,” playback. Digital sheet music is the musical notation of the 21st century.
The popularity of digital sheet music has revitalized the sheet music industry, which has been languishing since the invention of the phonograph. Digital sheet music has even made inroads into professional orchestras, which are perhaps one of the most traditional remaining arenas of printed sheet music. In 1999, an electronic system for the coordination of orchestral music was invented by Harry Connick, Jr. This system uses a device with a screen to display the musicians’ sheet music. The advantages of not having to use traditional sheet music during a performance, when the rustle of paper can be very distracting, are easy to see. Other musicians and software engineers continue to experiment with the digital display of sheet music.
Digital sheet music has made musical notation available on a scale the likes of which its creators could never have dreamed. It is the future of sheet music, and no where is this more apparent than with the Mutopia project. Mutopia is a volunteer-run effort to create a library of free content digital sheet music, which is reproduced from old scores that are out of copyright. Although there are only about 1400 pieces of music available at present, this project is makes it easy to imagine that there will come a time in the foreseeable future when digital music libraries will be very, very extensive indeed.

When it comes to choosing the correct digital voice recorder for your needs there are a few things you should look at.
1. How much do you plan or need to record?
This is the most important one to figure out as there are many available recorders that range in many different sizes. Some are made to only hold around 20 hours of recordings while others can hold more than 100 hours of recording. If you are a college student or plan to record business meetings it would be wise to go with a voice recorder that has a larger storage space so you can save more recordings without having to worry about deleting any.
2. What features do you need?
Nowadays with the advancement in technology many digital voice recorders are chock full of very useful features. From highly sensitive microphones to super long battery life many of the top brands all offer a little something for everybody. Some recorders can even have music uploaded to them and then played through the speaker located on the voice recorder giving you your own personal MP3 player.
One of the top manufacturing companies for digital voice recorders is Olympus. They offer a huge range of recorders with all boasting many different features whether you need to take short notes while reading or recording a professors entire lecture in class. Many of their recorders feature technology which allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the microphone which determines how much background noise is picked up. This is a great feature in case you are in a noisy environment and need to have a clear recording of what you are saying.
Most recorders also have a folder system making for easy organization. The number of folders can range from one manufacturer to another but most seem to have about 5 folders. These can be labeled and used for various different situations depending on what you are doing.
3. How big is the recorder and how much does it weigh?
Fortunately recorders nowadays are extremely small and very lightweight. They fit into a pocket, breifcase, backpack or purse and their small size makes them very easy to take pretty much anywhere. Some of them are so light you might even forget that you are carrying it!
4. How long is the battery going to last?
This is a tough question to answer as it depends on the recording mode that you are using and whether or not you are using the music playback feature of the recorder if it comes with one.
These are just some of the questions that you should be asking yourself before you purchase a digital voice recorder. With diligent research and patience you will find that once you do buy your recorder it will fit what you need it to do perfectly.
