Axis Announces High-Performance Video Encoder
Solution for Large, Mission Critical
Surveillance Installations
New encoder blade and chassis
combination are ideal for applications that
require flexibility, reliability and the highest
performance in demanding locations such as
airports, rail stations and city surveillance
CHELMSFORD, Mass. – May 14,
2013 –
Axis Communications, the world leader in network video,
today announces a high-performance
analog-to-network video encoding solution
comprised of the 6-channel AXIS Q7436 Video
Encoder Blade and the complementary AXIS Q7920
Video Encoder Chassis. AXIS Q7436 blade supports
PTZ over coax control and up to 60 frames per
second video, while AXIS Q7920 is one of the
industry’s highest-density encoder chassis with
support for up to 84 analog cameras and provides
power and network redundancy.

AXIS
Q7436 Video Encoder Blade provides smooth video
even in high motion scenes with support for 60
fps as well as features such as reduced noise,
enhanced sharpness and optimized contrast to
enable even better image quality output. This
6-channel video encoder blade delivers multiple,
individually configurable video streams from
each channel at full frame rate in all
resolutions. Pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) control over
coaxial cable is also supported for installation
time and cost savings since a separate cable is
not needed for camera control.
For larger, centralized surveillance systems,
high-density rack solutions with encoder blades
offer the most flexible and reliable design.
AXIS Q7920 is a rack mountable encoder chassis,
providing an expandable solution for migrating
large-scale analog CCTV installations to network
video. It holds up to 14 hot-swappable video
encoder blades in order to digitize up to 84
analog cameras. With hot swapping there is no
need to power down the entire system when
installing or removing the video encoder blades,
which means the critical surveillance system
stays up and running during upgrades or
maintenance.
“With this new video encoder solution, customers
who have invested in large-scale analog systems
now have access to future-proof IP video
surveillance with a range of digital benefits,
like intelligent video, easy remote access and
scalability,” said Fredrik Nilsson, general
manager, Axis Communications, Inc. “For
demanding surveillance environments where AXIS
Q7436 encoder blades and complementary chassis
with be a perfect match [e.g. airports,
railways, cities], customers will especially
benefit from increased flexibility and
high-performance.”
AXIS Q7920 Video Encoder Chassis also improves
system reliability with its power and network
redundancy features. With four RJ45 ports as
well as four SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
slots for fiber or additional RJ45 module
connections, this video encoder solution offers
fully flexible and cost-effective long distance
network connectivity.
Additional features included in AXIS Q7436 Video
Encoder Blade:
•
|
Powerful event management
capabilities with embedded intelligent video
features such as tampering alarm and motion
detection. |
• |
Support for
AXIS Camera Application Platform to enable
development of third party intelligent applications
that can be downloaded and installed on the encoder
itself. |
• |
Significant installation savings
by allowing PTZ control over coaxial cable in
addition to the standard support for PTZ cameras
using the serial ports. |
AXIS Q7436 Video Encoder Blade
will be supported by the industry’s largest base
of video management software through the
Axis Application Development Partner Program and
AXIS Camera Station. The video encoder also supports
Hosted Video and
ONVIF for easy camera system integration.
AXIS Q7436 Video Encoder Blade and AXIS Q7920
Video Encoder Chassis are expected to be
available in Q3 through Axis’ distribution
channels. For photos and other resources, please
