Description
The TXB-N allows Spectra® IV and Spectra IV SE dome systems to transfer live video and data over an
Internet protocol (IP) network. The IP module provides H.264, MJPEG, and MPEG-4 compression for use
with most standard Web browsers. Once installed, the Spectra IV dome system retains all of the standard
Spectra features, while adding IP connectivity.
NOTE: The TXB-N module is only compatible with Spectra IV dome systems that use version 1.07 or
newer software. Dome systems with software older than version 1.07 do not have the capability to
operate over an IP network.
