Choosing a High Performance Digital Video Solution

How do you go about selecting the best high performance digital video recorder (HPDVR™) for your organization? In this guide we explore in detail key factors to think about while selecting a HPDVR for scientific, engineering, and manufacturing applications. There are a number of important questions to consider:
* Will your project be able to tolerate possible video loss?
* Do you fully understand the consequences of being locked into proprietary hardware architecture?
Take into account your requirements for integrating your HPDVR with your existing technology. You may need to evaluate your current resources and determine whether your team can handle the integration in-house as well as the on-going maintenance and support required. That is, look at your future needs and requirements and decide whether or not you need a solution which is upgradeable and backward-compatible. You will want to anticipate any essential training and customer support considerations. Also, you may have a U.S. government funded project which may necessitate purchasing your HPDVR from a company which manufactures a solution in the United States. An important point to carefully consider is whether or not you may be better off purchasing a HPDVR from a vendor which has system engineered and qualified the solution for maximum optimization and ease-of-use and who will provide dedicated support, maintenance and upgrades throughout the life of the project and beyond.

With so many variables to consider before even looking into the multitude of features offered, the information in this guide will lead you through details of each consideration with critical questions to discuss with vendors.
