  • Page 11: Introduction

    Overview The VideoEdge™ IP Encoder (hereafter referred to as IP Encoder) offers high performance IP video streams for up to four analog video sources. The IP Encoder is specifically designed for security video which produces compressed video that is up to nine times more efficient than MPEG-4 and MJPEG products.

  • Page 12: Features

    Figure 1-2 Example of an IP Encoder in a full system installation Figure 1-2 shows an example system configuration where the IP Encoder is installed as part of a full Intellex IP Network. In this example the IP Encoder is connected to the Intellex through a network switch.

  • Page 13: Acc Compression

    Bandwidth Throttling The IP Encoder supports bandwidth throttling and is set on a individual camera and client basis. The maximum bandwidth is selectable between 30 kb/s and 4 Mb/s. The Bandwidth throttling is configured on the Intellex IP.
