About us: ViDi Labs is a private company run by Vlado Damjanovski, based in Sydney, Australia.
Vlado has a degree in Electronics Engineering from the University “Kiril i Metodij” in Skopje (Macedonia), and he has specialised in Television and CCTV. His Thesis (Diploma Work) in 1982 was on CCD Cameras, 10 years before they started being widely used commercially.

Vlado is an author, inventor, a lecturer and a CCTV expert, known to the Australian and international CCTV industry.

He is also known for his photographic work, albeit as an amateur, but having prepared a number of sole exhibitions in his native Macedonia, as well as Australia, published his work in many magazines and books and won numerous awards (visit Poems with Pixels). 

Through his company he performs the following tasks: consultancy, design, project management, commission, testing, desk-top publishing, training and publishing. 

A summary of the ever-evolving CCTV knowledge that Vlado posses first appeared in 1995 in his first published book - simply called "CCTV." This was, and still is, one of the first and truly complete reference manuals on the subject of CCTV. This book, covering all that a CCTV expert, installer or consultant should know, has already been accepted and approved by many international authorities as an exceptional reference book.
Many are referencing it as “The CCTV Bible” so that even the official Russian translation of it carries such a title.
The international publisher Elsevier - Butterworth-Heinemann published another two editions of it, the first in 1999 and the second in 2005, so that Amazon.com always rates this book with 5 stars. The latest edition is also translated in German language.

Based on the complete content of his best-seller books, Vlado conducts easy-to-understand CCTV seminars, demistifying and explaining all tricks and technologies of the CCTV trade.
These seminars are conducted world-wide (more information on http://www.cctvseminars.com).

In addition to all the activity above, Vlado has designed and commissioned a number of CCTV Systems around Australia and overseas. Some of the more interesting CCTV projects include Darling Harbour, Downing Centre Control, Sydney City, etc. The biggest system design was done for the Star City Casino in 1997 (one of the world first digital CCTV designs, where gaming disputes are sorted out immediately at the gaming tables), costing in excess of $1.5M. Then, in 2004, another new design was proposed for the Sands Casino in Macao in 2004, costing in excess of $5M. Vlado was instrumental in offering and winning the system design for the Sands casino - another first in the world utilising Digital Virtual Matrix Switching of over 2,500 digital recorders.

Another publishing project was the international magazine for CCTV called “CCTV focus”. This magazine was launched at the ISC in New York, in August 1999. Prepared and published by Vlado's previous company - CCTV Labs, the “CCTV focus” became the world leading technical magazine for Closed Circuit Television. Sadly, the printed version stopped being produced by the end of 2006 due to insufficient help from the industry.

Vlado is also the chairman of the CCTV Standards sub-committee of Australia and New Zealand, and he has contributed immensely in creating the latest Australian and New Zealand CCTV standards known as AS4806.1, AS4806.2 and AS4806.3.

The CCTV test chart and the programmable test pattern generator are some of the original and unique products developed by Vlado and his company, and they are used in various measurement and quantifying CCTV system performance.

Based on Vlado's immense experience in CCTV and Digital imaging, there have been a number of industry specific products and developments, all aimed at improving the knowledge and undertsanding.  

ViDi Labs is committed to help you out and make most of the exciting digital imaging technology.
