Abstract
Within the next few years, a transition from film camera systems to video surveillance systems will take place in inter- national safeguards. In order to maintain the indispensable requirements of reliability and authentication, development and tests continued under the Federal Republic of Germany Support Programme of .video components for IAEA safe- guards applications. The prototype of a tamper resistant TV-link was developed under Task D.I 2 /4/. A field test of the TV-link is in preparation using a production model suitable for multiplexed TV applications. The test will utilize an Agency owned, multiplexed TV system. An evaluation of the tamper resistant TV-link is given. After a successful field trial of the prototype Solid State Video Memory (SSVM-516) under task D. 14 a production model has been developed under Task D.I7. Several operating modes are envisaged, depending on whether it will be used in an on-site video surveillance system or in a video review station. The concept and technical features, in- cluding an explanation of the function of the video memory, are discussed.
