Video encoder/decoder for challenging applications

The CNVETX1 video encoder/decoder from UK-based ComNet Europe is designed for those applications suffering or likely to experience extreme temperatures, vibration, shock or irregular voltage and where humidity with condensation are present, says the company. The all-new CNVETX1 is a single channel video encoder/decoder which has been ‘industrially hardened’ for use in the most extreme operating environments.

The CNVETX1 video encoder/decoder from UK-based 30 ComNet Europe is designed for those applications suffering or likely to experience extreme temperatures, vibration, shock or irregular voltage and where humidity with condensation are present, says the company.

The all-new CNVETX1 is a single channel video encoder/decoder which has been ‘industrially hardened’ for use in the most extreme operating environments. It accepts an incoming baseband video signal with duplex audio and serial data for camera PTZ control. It encodes this information to H.264, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, or MJPEG video compression standards and inserts it onto an Ethernet network.

It can be user-configured as an encoder or decoder, or the decoding may be carried out with the decoding software supplied. It is operable as a PoE (IEEE 802.3aF) powered device or from any 12V dc source and also contains ComNet IVS software for simultaneous video streaming and onboard content management.

    KBC launches industrially hardened PoE switches
    KBC Networks has expanded its series of Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches with new units featuring extended operating temperature ranges for a wide range of industrial, non-conditioned and outdoor applications. The switches are either IEEE 802.3af compliant or, the higher powered IEEE 802.3at which is suitable for most PTZ cameras. Some models have PoE++ ports and all the new switches are optimised for 4K video, and in CCTV mode they support 250m cable runs with PoE.
