Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

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.

Table A-1 Technical Specifications
Feature	CIVS-SENC-4P	CIVS-SENC-8P
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.
