Overview
The multiport S17XXe series edge devices are designed for a variety of video monitoring and surveillance applications in which a high concentration of cameras terminates within the same area. Two compression modes are available to deliver video over 10/100Base-T networks: a proprietary MPEG-4-based mode and the MPEG-4 ISO 14496-2 compliant mode. The S17XXe series can be extended over local and wide area networks (LANs and WANs) or the Internet using ISDN, PSTN, or xDSL routers. It is built on open standards to provide long-term investment protection.
These edge devices are for indoor use only.

1: Overview
About the Multiport S17XXe Series
The S17XXe series contains several devices covering different video input and functionality needs.
Each device is configured to interface, right out of the box, with the most popular camera data port configuration (4800 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit).
Physical Characteristics
All S17XXe series devices are transmitters (-T). Here is an overview of their features:

The video analytics capabilities of the S1704e-AS and S1708e-AS can be used inside a Nextiva IntelliView solution. In the IntelliView Analytics Rule Builder, the S1704e-AS supports a maximum of six views, and the S1708e-AS, of four views; both devices support a maximum of five active rules. For more information, refer to the documentation set of the Nextiva enterprise video management platform.
Unless otherwise specified, the word S17XXe refers to any of these devices.
All devices have two independent serial ports (for RS-232 and RS-422/485 protocols) and a reset button.
You power the S17XXe transmitters with 12V DC.
Security
Every edge device comes with a unique SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate for securing its IP link. SSL is a commonly used protocol for managing the security of IP message transmission. Therefore, the connections with another device, the SConfigurator tool, or a video management software can be secured.
If enabled, the SSL protocol secures the following data: I/O, serial port, and VSIP (a proprietary protocol) communication. It does not apply to audio and video transmission.
Once a device is in secure mode, you cannot access it anymore with Telnet and you cannot perform firmware updates through the IP network on it. However, you can configure it with SConfigurator.

Video
The S1704e-AS, S1708e, and S1708e-AS devices provide DVD-quality video resolution, whereas the S1712e and S1724e transmitters offer a cost effective, high port count solution.
On the S1704e-AS, S1708e, S1708e-AS, and S1712e devices, the video stream for each input is sent to two encoders; on the S1724e, it is sent to a single encoder.
The video frame rate of the edge device can be:
NTSC—1 to 7, 10, 15, or 30 frames per second (fps)
PAL—1 to 6, 8, 12, or 25 fps
All transmitters in the S17XXe series can have the following video resolutions:
Resolution Number of columns Number of lines
NTSC/PAL NTSC PAL
CIF 352 240 288 2CIFH 704 240 288 4CIF 704 480 576 All lines 352 480 576 2/3 D1 480 480 576 VGA 640 480 576
The maximum frame rates (in frames per second) for the proprietary MPEG-4-based compression mode are, using the NTSC (PAL) format:
