The ComNet™ CNVETX1 is a single-channel, camera-ready H.264/MPEG-4/MPEG-2,
and MJPEG intelligent video server/video encoder or decoder unit, with video
quality of up to D1 at 1 to 30 FPS, and dual or triple encoding/streaming. The
CNVETX1 is industrially hardened for deployment in unconditioned/out-of-plant
operating environments. It is user-configurable for use as an encoder or decoder.
Incorporating a distributed intelligent video architecture, analog/composite video
NTSC or PAL CCTV cameras with IP or full-duplex serial data pan-tilt-zoom control
may be easily integrated onto any IP network. Full command and control of the
various video encoding parameters are provided, including resolution, bit rate, and
frame rate. A simplex mono audio channel is included. The ComNet IVS (Integrated
Video Server) software allows for multiple simultaneous video streaming, and
enables onboard video content management.
