ACTi - TCD-2100 - 1 Channel H.264 D1 Video Encoder
Product Overview
The ACTi 1-Channel H.264 Video Encoder is a TCP/IP network-based device for converting analog video into compressed IP video streams. It supports H.264, MPEG-4 SP, and MJPEG compression formats with video delivery up to 25/30 fps at full D1 resolution.
Key Configuration
Product type: 1-channel video encoder; network type: TCP/IP-based video surveillance device; compression formats: H.264, MPEG-4 SP, MJPEG; supported resolutions: QCIF 160 x 112, CIF 352 x 240, D1 720 x 480; frame rate: 25/30 fps at full D1; streaming: dual streaming; controls: serial ports for PTZ control.
Key Features
• Converts live analog video into IP video streams
• Supports selectable H.264, MPEG-4 SP, and MJPEG compression
• Delivers 25/30 fps at full D1 resolution
• Built-in video motion detection with up to 3 detection areas
• Digital input/output and serial PTZ control support
Technical Context
The encoder compresses composite video input into efficient digital streams for network transmission. H.264 compression helps reduce bandwidth usage, while dual streaming allows separate stream configurations for viewing and recording workflows.
Installation Notes
Motion detection can be configured with up to three detection areas, object size settings, and sensitivity adjustments. Serial ports are available for PTZ camera control, and digital input/output connections support integration with external devices.
