An industry-leading manufacturer and supplier of hardware video encoders & decoders, including H.265 High Efficiency Video Coding products. We have been a recognised and trusted brand in this market for 15 years, supplying to markets across the globe. We take pride in our products, which stand out due to their reliability, performance, integration and compatibility.
H.265, or High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), is a new video coding standard that specifies how to encode video. It is the successor to Advanced Video Coding (AVC), also known as H.264.
It was developed with the goal of providing twice the compression efficiency of the previous standard, H.265, meaning higher resolutions, such as 4K or UHD, can be sent with a lower bit rate.
As with any newer technology, this comes at a price. H265 is ideal for very low bit rate applications such as mobile phone viewing, or at the other end, very high resolution viewing like 4K UHD and above.
H.265 video encoders are usually more expensive due to the technology involved. This codec is often specified or required in broadcast environments where compression efficiency is key. CCTV has adopted H265, but the vast majority of IP cameras and Encoders are still H264 based for ONVIF compatibility.
Antrica is an industry leading manufacturer and supplier of hardware video encoders & decoders and have 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.

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’.
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 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!
