With the SNT-EX/EP Series,
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.

FEATURES
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.

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.

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.

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*1 (SNT-EX Series)
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.
