Axis launches new video encoder.Byline: Dubai Axis Communications Axis Communications AB (XSSE:AXIS) is a manufacturer of IT equipment, mostly known for its print servers and network cameras. According to its latest annual report, it has sold over 500.000 network cameras, thus claiming to be the world leader in that market. , a global market leader in the network video market, has introduced a high-performance, four-channel standalone video encoder with H.264 video compression Encoding digital video to take up less storage space and transmission bandwidth. See video codec and data compression. video compression - Compression of sequences of images. . The full-featured Axis Q7404 Video Encoder integrates four analog CCTV CCTV abbr. closed-circuit television CCTV closed-circuit television cameras at a time into an IP-based video surveillance system. "Axis Q7404 provides outstanding performance with multiple, full frame rate video streams in all resolutions from all four video channels," Baraa Al Akkad, regional manager, Axis Communications, ME. "Axis Q7404 further delivers superb video quality and significant savings in bandwidth and storage with H.264. The video encoder provides a cost-effective way for analog CCTV systems to get the benefits of network video without having to replace analog surveillance cameras. Users gain remote monitoring (protocol) remote monitoring - (RMON) A network management protocol that allows network information to be gathered at a single computer. Whereas SNMP gathers network data from a single type of Management Information Base (MIB), RMON 1 defines nine additional MIBs that provide a capabilities, powerful event management and improved scalability." The highly efficient H.264 video compression format drastically reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality. The video encoder also supports Motion JPEG See MPEG and JPEG 2000. Motion JPEG - Moving JPEG for increased flexibility, he said. Axis Q7404 can deliver multiple digital video streams simultaneously from each analog video The original video recording method that stores continuous waves of red, green and blue intensities. In analog video, the number of rows is fixed. There are no real columns, and the maximum detail is determined by the frequency response of the analog system. channel at full frame rate in all resolutions up to D1 (720x480 in NTSC (National TV Standards Committee) The committee that developed the television standards for the U.S, which are also used in Canada, Japan, South Korea and several Central and South American countries. Both the committee and the standard are called "NTSC. , 720x576 in PAL). The video streams can be individually configured with different compression formats, resolutions and frame rates for different uses. The video encoder offers intelligent video capabilities such as enhanced video motion detection, active tampering alarm and audio detection. Each video channel has two configurable inputs/outputs for connections to external devices such as sensors and relays, which enable the system to receive and respond to alarms. High-quality, two-way audio is provided on one video channel, he said. All four video channels support pan/tilt/zoom control for PTZ PTZ Pan-Tilt-Zoom (camera) PTZ Pentylenetetrazol PTZ Photo Zenith Tube PTZ Poisson Truncated At Zero Model PTZ Point Zero and PTZ dome cameras. It is also possible to control daisy-chained cameras from one RS-422/485 port as long as they operate on the same protocol, he said. The video encoder includes advanced network capabilities that optimise the network video solution for security, efficiency and manageability. The product is supported by the Axis Camera Station video management software, as well as the industry's largest base of application software through Axis' Application Development Partner program. -- TradeArabia News Service Copyright 2008 www.tradearabia.com Copyright 2009 Al Hilal Publishing & Marketing Group Provided by Syndigate.info an Albawaba.com company |
