2.1 NGS-V161
The NGS-V161 network video recorder supports 16 channels of NTSC or PAL video via an
onboard dedicated H.264 encoder. Each channel is capable of compressing a single full D1
video stream and a G.711 audio stream in real time.
The NGS-V161 provides 16 channel video encoding and network transmission at up to full
D1 resolution. The network video platform utilizes the latest H.264 standard to ensure the
highest level of video quality with the lowest levels of storage and network bandwidth
requirements. Supporting full D1 NTSC and PAL formats, our network video platforms take
16 analog video signals and simultaneously encode them to H.264 compressed digital
format, allowing customers to build world class network video solutions with excellent
video quality.
