Video Encoder ICs

What is a Video Encoder ICs?
A Video Encoder ICs (integrated circuit) is an electric circuit within an integrated chip. This chip sits within a semiconductor product family and is also known as a Video Server. A typical encoder chip has been designed to enable an existing analog CCTV video surveillance system to be integrated with a video network system. They act as a high quality converters of digital video data to analog video data. A Video Encoder allows the user to migrate an analog CCTV system to a network video system, it enables users to gain the benefits of network video, without having to discard existing analog equipment such as analog CCTV cameras and coaxial cabling.

Features and Benefits (may vary depending on product type)
• Optimisation for low power consumption
• Occupy a minimal footprint
• Cable detection
• DAC auto-power-down
• Supports SD, (standard definition) HD (high definition) and ED (enhanced definition) in SDR and DDR interfaces
• Scalability and ease of integration with other systems
• Multi format video input and output support
• Narrow bandwidths
• Operation in basic selectable modes - SMPTE mode, DVB-ASI mode, Data-Through mode, or Standby mode.

Where can I use a Video Encoder ICs?
• Instillation's where a lot of analog cameras need to be maintained in commercial of industrial environments.
