The NET5500 series is a high performance single-channel to multi-channel video encoder that integrates analog cameras and positioning systems into an IP video surveillance system. The NET5500 series encoders deliver crystal clear images while drastically reducing the network bandwidth and storage requirements for IP video surveillance applications.

The NET5500 series encoders are capable of compressing a single video input into two streams, each up to D1 (720 x 480 for NTSC and 720 x 576 for PAL) and 30/25 ips. With individually configurable streams, each channel of the NET5500 series encoder can be configured to meet differing bandwidth, resolution, and frame rate requirements.

The High profile H.264 compression option delivers outstanding picture quality at a drastically lower bandwidth. While H.264 compression provides significant bit rate savings over JPEG compression schemes, High profile H.264 enables sophisticated tools that further reduce bit rate while also improving picture quality under certain scene conditions. The NET5500 series encoders provide Baseline, main and high profile H.264 compression to optimize the cost of deploying IP video surveillance while improving image quality.
