Composite Encoder

Antrica is a leading manufacturer and supplier of hardware video encoders & decoders and has been a well-known name in this industry for 15 years. We are specialists in this niche video over IP industry and supply to a range of markets worldwide. Our products are set apart from the competition in terms of reliability, performance, integration and compatibility.

Composite / CVBS / PAL / NTSC video is an analog video transmission (without audio) that carries standard definition video typically at 480i or 576i resolution.

Our composite video encoders are often used to upgrade older composite cameras onto an IP network and utilise the new ONVIF commands to control existing PTZ capabilities. This is where video encoders first made a name for themselves, enabling the installer to upgrade the camera’s connectivity without having to re-cable a whole system from scratch.

Certain cameras are installed in hard-to-access places so replacing the camera with an IP version is not economical. Our encoders in this range 1 and 4 channel, are also relevant for lower quality video resolution as composite encoders are one of the most economic ranges of encoders.

The ANT-3xxxx range is fully ONVIF Profile S & G Compliant.

 

A fully ONVIF encoder will 100% work as ONVIF guarantees compatibility (ANT-3XXXX range). However, if you need a ‘view only’ stream and can live without ONVIF discovery then we have the ANT-2XXX range which can sometimes integrate. We can provide a public IP stream for you to test if you need.

Yes, we do for larger projects. We also offer a remote way of testing the stream’s integration.

Any H.265 option will be suitable.

The ANT-36100, as it has alarm/serial data controls, as well as PoE, and is a more industrial-type decoder.

Yes. Providing you have anti-static handling procedures in place, these can be used in any applications where it can be ‘housed’.

This is due to the fact we use low bit rates and compression, so we need at least 1-2 frames for encoding. Decoders need buffering to work, so most latency is in the decoder end.

Yes and no. Any decoding and re-encoding potentially reduces the quality, but using sufficiently high bit rates will allow the quality to look as good as the original.

Yes, these are intended to be low-latency wireless links with Video in and Video out.

Some of our decoders don’t have HD-SDI as an output. These converters offer a solution to have an HD-SDI output when required.

ANTRICA 'GOES GREEN' - SINGLE USE PLASTIC ZERO "usage" POLICY

Antrica have taken on the challenge of reducing to zero all single use plastic within its packaging of Encoders and Decoders by the end of 2020. We are also striving to provide paperless shipments wherever possible.

Together we can make the world better!
