1. Preface
MSHDVS4CHD 4CH network digital video server is a digital product based on network
transmission, which adopts embedded real-time multi-tasking operating systems (RTOS) and
embedded CPU processor, and with the function of video signal and audio signal synchronization
compression.
The compressed data is transmitted by network to realize real-time video and audio preview. The
system can be scheduled efficiently. Code solidify in FLASH enables more stable and reliable
system operation.
The excellent H.264 algorithm ensures less data redundancy, which is more suitable for network
transmission, provide RS-485 interface and alarm input and output interfaces.
MSHDVS4HD can be equipped with built-in hard disk to IDE HDD 500 GB.
