Axis Q7401 Video Encoder
With SAFARI Montage integration
The AXIS Q7401 Video Encoder with SAFARI Montage Integration is a high performance, single channel encoding solution that provides extremely efficient H.264 video compression and can deliver multiple, individually configurable video streams simultaneously at full frame rate in all resolutions up to D1 (720x480 NTSC).
Its specially designed integration with SAFARI Montage makes this encoder unique, featuring automated configuration support that ensures nearly effortless installation and setup. The most significant feature is its automatic application of high/medium/low bandwidth encoding profiles, optimized for use with the SAFARI Montage system which eliminates the need for in-depth knowledge of encoding settings. This exceptional characteristic in combination with auto-discovery on the school's network makes the Axis Q7401 Encoder with SAFARI Montage Integration a truly economical purchase.
The Axis Q7401 Encoder with SAFARI Montage Integration also offers support for power over an Ethernet (PoE) and a small footprint which contributes to its flexibility and ease of installation.
