High-speed connector on compression card, x8 PCI-E gen2, DC 12V power supply and 5
GIO, for fluency of high-speed data flow.
Compression card’s hot swap button and indicator for users’ flexible extension on the
application and knowledge of compression card status.
Various ports of compression card, such as USB, serial, Internet interface, HDMI, BNC,
DVI and etc. which guarantee device functions and simplify operation and debugging done
by users and technical staffs.
With industrial embedded micro-processor, each function card works independently to
balance system’s work load and ensure fluency.
Duel-high-speed non-blocking design for rear panel to meet demand of large volume A/V
data transmission.
1.2.3 Software Feature
Embedded LINUX OS: safe, stable, efficient, easy development and maintenance.
A/V Encoding and Decoding
A/V encoding card supports 32-ch BNC, 16-ch HD-SDI, 16-ch optical fiber, 8-ch DVI
(support DVI, VGA, HDMI signal), and 16-ch HDCVI.
A/V decoding card supports maximum 384-ch D1 real-time decoding or 96-ch HD1080P
decoding output.
Network Function
Eight RJ45 ports, each of which supports 1000M network; 8 optical fiber ports (Ethernet
port and optical fiber port cannot be used at the same time).

Overview 3
Support cascading among video matrix platforms, extending the video processing and
networking abilities of video matrix platforms, and thus achieving the integration of
multi-level video surveillance system.
Support TCP/IPprotocol stack, including TCP, UDP, RTP, RTSP, DHCP, DNS, DDNS, NTP,
SADP protocols.
Support management software to achieve remote switching between analog and digital
videos on video wall and control with keyboard.
Receive and configure parameter, reboot, export and import parameters remotely.
Video Management
Support HD and SD digital matrix, and direct switch as non-compression bit stream which
eliminates image quality reduction after multiple switches of video signal.
Support HD and SD IPC matrix.
Support digital video full crossing switch matrix, based on different applied compression
card combinations, forming digital video full crossing switch matrix with different
specifications.
A/V decoding card supports HDMI, DVI, VGA and BNC ports; support up to 1080P
(1920*1080P) resolution output.
Allow operator to loop display different images on the same screen, pre-set and switch as
group.
Splicing image favorites, simplified operations on multiple video channels.
Other Functions
Operation, alarm, abnormality and log recording facilitates user and technical staff’s
maintenance.
Improve user authority management to provide more clear and orderly authorization levels.
Timely upgrade the system in local and remote online way.
Support device cascading and network storage to meet demand from medium to large
surveillance systems.
Multiple users and clients login, convenient for users to preview and manage monitoring
whenever and wherever possible.
