Cisco Video Surveillance Standalone Encoder Series User Guide
Chapter: Technical Specifications
Technical Specifications
The Cisco standalone video encoders (CIVS-SENC-4P and CIVS-SENC-8P) can be used to convert analog video sources into digital formats so they can be integrated into a networked IP based video surveillance system. The 4-Port model (CIVS-SENC-4P) supports four analog video inputs, while the 8-Port model (CIVS-SENC-8P) supports eight analog video inputs. Both devices can be used in a stacked configuration, or they can be rack mounted. A power supply is included with both. Table A-1 lists key features and technical specifications for both encoder models.

Protocols Supported |
Supports two simultaneous video streams. The two streams can be compressed in H.264, MPEG-4 or MJPEG formats, in various combinations of resolution, frame-rate and bit-rate combinations. |
Supports a single video stream per port. The stream can be compressed in H.264, MPEG-4 or MJPEG formats and configured with different resolution, frame-rates and bit-rates. |
PTZ Interface |
Provides a RS-485 interface to allow for connection to PTZ control units supporting the Pelco-D protocol, in order to control Pan-Tilt-Zoom functions in an external camera or PTZ mount. |
