As its products and technology continued to mature and develop, Mintron remained steadfast in ensuring the quality of its products. It moved into professional applications by developing microscopes, telescopes, mechanical visual equipment, cameras for vehicle use, and other imaging products. Mintron came across an entirely different set of challenges as it began moving into this field. All the parts and products purchased were based on their reliability. The same goes for product design. Not only does the product have to be fully functional, it has to be reliable. Mintron properly performs inventory for parts in conjunction with product management, provides product support for more than 10 years, and offers customers steady, long-term services.
Mintron's camera is only a minute part of its clients' equipment. For instance, Mintron's cameras are used on trucks with special purposes. In this application, what matters is not how much the cameras cost, but how reliable and durable they are, and if their functionality meets standards. To put it another way, Mintron's cameras are more than just cameras, they are the cream of the crop.
In areas of high altitude or cold arid regions, static electricity is a common occurrence. Therefore, electrostatic management is a basic requirement in Mintron's factories, as semiconductors cannot be affected by static. In order to guarantee its products to continue operating under these conditions in the long run, the proper management and controls are implemented.
Currently, Mintron has developed a series of solutions for IP camera modules, such as AF Zoom cameras, WDR cameras, 3D-DNR cameras, and HD CCDs for integrators. These solutions are able to help enhance the image quality of IP cameras to adapt to the environments of various applications. Mintron is also concentrating its efforts on developing HD-SDI cameras and data transmission systems. The company had been developing SDI cameras since 2005, starting from SD-SDI and extending to HD-SDI in the present. Now, Mintron has developed a new generation of HD Coax-link system. Not only does it conform to the standard HD-SDI format, the system is able to transfer uncompressed 1,080p video, audio, control and power through a single cable, when it used to require three cables. The cameras and receivers will not need any additional wires and power lines.
Mintron's HD fiber-link system is able to transfer HD video, audio and control over a single optic fiber by wavelength-division multiplexing technology (WDM), with no signs of compression, in real time. As the data is transmitted by light, it is virtually immune to electromagnetic interference which can produce digital noise, making the system ideal for traffic surveillance, military, government, industrial, and hospital use.
However, HD-SDI development is limited due to the high cost of image transfer and storage, which are still in the early stages for this technology. Regardless, the company continues to hold high hopes for it. Mintron caters to the professional niche, and when the technology is fully developed and tested, clients will gradually come to accept it.
Despite price competition for products, Mintron remains unaffected. When the company decided to direct its attention to niche markets, it chose clients who are highly selective for the image quality and reliability of their products. This demanding market is not for those who lower their prices for a quick buck.
