Your Analog Cameras Will Be Reborn
Sony’s SNT-EX/EP Series includes a full lineup of video encoders designed to meet various system
requirements. There’s a choice of 1-channel and 4-channel standalone models, as well as 1U and 3U
Rack Stations that accept 4-channel blades − all of which can dual-stream H.264/JPEG, H.264/
MPEG-4, or MPEG-4/JPEG video at full 30/25 fps (NTSC/PAL) in up to D1 resolution.
These video encoders not only convert analog video signals to a digital video stream for IP-based
networks, but also improve the picture quality of the original signals with state-of-the-art imageenhancing technology. What’s more, the SNT-EX Series also incorporates advanced security features
such as DEPA Advanced™ intelligent video and audio analytics.
The SNT-EX/EP Series is the ideal choice when migrating from an existing analog camera system to an
IP-based monitoring system with intelligence technology, even in the most demanding application
environments, such as education, transportation, factories, healthcare facilities, public venues, and airports.

High-quality Images Based on Advanced
Technology
The SNT-EX/EP Series delivers clearer and brighter, high-quality
images thanks to state-of-the-art image-enhancing
technology.
Visibility Enhancer
The SNT-EX/EP Series includes Visibility Enhancer technology.
This tone-correction technology optimizes the visibility of a
scene by increasing brightness in darker areas of the scene
and compressing the brighter areas. The result is sharper,
clearer images and a higher level of visibility − all of which are
critical for security surveillance.
OFF ON
XDNR (eXcellent Dynamic Noise Reduction)
Incorporating newly developed XDNR technology, these video
encoders can provide clear images while at the same time
minimizing motion blur under low illumination. What’s more,
when both XDNR and Visibility Enhancer are turned on, the
video encoders can achieve four times the sensitivity compared to when they are off.
This technology is ideal for any outdoor surveillance
monitoring, such as a car parked at night.

System Flexibility
Three Codecs − H.264, MPEG-4, and JPEG Support
Each model supports the H.264, MPEG-4, and JPEG
compression formats at full 30/25 fps in D1 resolution. The
industry-standard JPEG compression format is the best choice
for high-quality still images. MPEG-4 provides clear moving
images efficiently over networks when bandwidth and storage
are limited. While H.264 provides twice the efficiency of
MPEG-4, for when bandwidth and storage is even more limited.
Dual-encoding Capability
With its dual-encoding capability, the SNT-EX/EP Series can
generate any two formats from H.264, MPEG-4, and JPEG
simultaneously. This flexibility allows you to maximize your
network and storage resources.

Intelligence
DEPA Advanced − Intelligent Video and Audio
Analytics*
Incorporating DEPA Advanced technology, the SNT-EX Series
offers intelligent video and audio analytics. With this feature,
the video encoders can trigger an alarm based on userdefined rules. This allows users to further refine the criteria for
triggering an alarm, making the overall system more efficient.

Dynamic Frame Integration (DFI)
Incorporating Dynamic Frame Integration (DFI) technology,
the SNT-EX/EP Series can reproduce clear images that
contain both still and moving objects. DFI technology detects
movement within the image and reproduces those areas with
minimal blurring, while − at the same time − areas with little
or no movement are displayed naturally with minimal jagged
edges. DFI also ensures clear images in low light conditions.
