devices or both within their PACS. HID Global's iCLASS SE platform and iCLASS Seos card technology are the first to deliver these capabilities. The platform uses a new Secure Identity Object (SIO) data model that represents many forms of identity information on any device that has been enabled to work within the secure boundary and central identity-management ecosystem of the company's Trusted Identity Platform (TIP). Any piece of data can be supported, including data for access control, cashless payments, biometrics, PC logon and many other applications. The combination of TIP and SIOs not only improves security but also delivers the flexibility to adapt to future requirements, such as adding new applications to an ID card. Additionally, iCLASS Seos credentials can be carried inside smartphones in a managed-access environment. Today's latest access-control solutions minimize disruption during migration through the use of multitechnology smart cards and readers that leverage these extensible and adaptable platforms. Another advance is the availability of encoders that enable organizations to encode and instantly issue cards using a single device. Multitechnology encoders make it easier for organizations to migrate from current technologies. In the case of HID Global's iCLASS SE platform, an encoder is available that provides an entirely open solution for encoding multiple credential technologies, including both Genuine HID and third-party credentials, so that users can upgrade their existing card populations for use with iCLASS SE platform readers. For maximum interoperability, the encoder solution supports Seos, iCLASS SE, standard iCLASS, MIFARE Classic and MIFARE DESFire EV1, as well as 125 MHz HID Prox for encoding Prox credentials, and for migrating from HID Prox to high-frequency technologies. Users can seamlessly and easily migrate from one technology to another by simply extracting access-control data from an existing card and writing it to the new credential, without having to manually input data or being encumbered by encoding details. For even higher security, users can "wrap" their accesscontrol data within an SIO and then www.SecurityInfoWatch.com write it back to the same card. Based on open architecture, the encoder enables SIOs to be added to the full range of supported cards, including MIFARE and DESFire credentials. Future-Proofing Secure Issuance In addition to an organization's foundational access-control card-and-reader platform, it is also important to consider current secure-issuance require- ments with an eye to tomorrow. Today's printers, card materials and software incorporate critical visual and logical technologies so that organizations can implement multilayered validation. There are a number of available hardware choices, including monochrome direct-to-card (DTC) solutions and high-definition printing (HDP) retransfer technology for contactless or contact smart cards. There are also highthroughput solutions that optimize performance and productivity. Today's IP Standards Got You Thinking? I need to... • Transmit IP video & PoE+ over the 328' limit • Keep costs reasonable • Phase the migration, swapping analog for IP • Minimize disruption to the business • Avoid lead and asbestos abatement issues Relax. Install IP over Coax! Now, you can upgrade any legacy CCTV system without the expense of re-cabling. Use existing coax cable for transmission of IP video and PoE. NVT Ethernet over Coax (EoC) transceivers enable analog cameras to be easily upgraded to IP/Megapixel models.
