Network Bandwidth per video stream = 20-500Mbs (user-selectable). Units can be daisy-chained or connected
to a gigabit Ethernet layer-3 switch supporting IGMP-query. Please contact SVSi to obtain a pre-configured
switch, or more details regarding daisy-chaining limitations.
The DVI-I connector on the N2000 encoder auto-senses either analog or digital video and converts input
video to network packets for output through the RJ45 connector. Audio can be input as embedded digital
audio through the DVI-I connector or as balanced analog audio through the 5-pin phoenix AUDIO
connector. Both encoder and decoder can be powered either using the 12V optional external power
supply or by Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
The N2000 series decoder accepts the network packets and reconstitutes synchronized video and audio
for display through its DVI-D port. Digital-only video is output by the decoder. IR and serial commands
can be transmitted by either encoder or decoder using SVSi's free N-Able configuration software, SVSi's
N8000-series controller, or using third party controllers. IR and RS232 serial ports are not pass-through
and must use a central controller to direct commands to each device.
