Aralia's
latest innovation is Aster, a forensic workstation, incorporating a
universal video demultiplexor. Aster is unique in that it carries a
VCR CCTV recorder. Aster incorporates all the features found in
Aralia's ilex video cataloging engine, allowing the operator to
quickly and easily search for important or relevant video data
according to definable video features. All captured data remains of
evidential quality, and a full audit trail of all operator actions
is maintained. Aster is designed to capture data from a wide range
of CCTV sources and store the data in high quality JPEG2000 format
within a relational database.
