TVB Tech Alert: Helinet HT 4SightFebruary 2, 2010
 VAN NUYS, CALIF.: Helinet Technologies has rolled out software
that allows 4G handhelds to receive live aerial video. HT 4Sight will allow
ground-based personnel to view live, encrypted aerial video feeds on
Blackberrys and Windows-enabled smartphones. (Still shot from Helinet-captured video of rescue efforts following Hurricane Katrina.)
The technology extends Helinet’s aircraft-to-ground microwave downlink systems,
adding further distribution in JPEG 2000. Helinet says HT4Sight will work with
commercial cellular,  WiFi and satellite networks, and that reception is possible
up to “thousands of miles away.” It says users can also monitor “an unlimited
number of live video feeds on a single device,” and control remote cameras from
their phones.
“Additionally, HT 4Sight allows users to take active control of the remote cameras
in their system to direct the zoom, tilt and pan functions all from their
handheld device,” Helinet said.
