IP and HD-SDI

[richardtheboffin 0]

Just looking for some opinions:

 

For outdoor PTZ applications will HD-SDI over coax and good old 485 telemetry be the prefered upgrade to SD cameras over going to IP?

 

I understand that IP has other benefits, but does latency and complexity cause more issues than it's worth?

 

Just curious as to which way the industry is moving...

 

I can see IP megapixel being great for indoor, fixed (or occaisionaly moved) camera applications where cameras can be hooked into the buildings network cabling, but for 'town centre' applications with real time ptz control will HD-SDI win?

 

Cheers.
