Antrica is an industry leading manufacturer and supplier of hardware video encoders & decoders who have been a well-known name in this industry for 15 years. Antrica are specialists in this niche video over IP industry and supply to a range of markets worldwide. Their Independent Video Stream products are set apart from the competition in terms of reliability, performance, integration and compatibility.
Video streams are referred to in two ways.
How many streams can the encoder support: This means how many decoders can connect to the encoder and pull independent streams. Generally, this will be the same stream reproduced multiple times to support multiple people viewing this stream. Each encoder has different capabilities in this area. Fo example, in a 1080P30 stream at 10 MBits , the encoder may only support 4-5 streams, but, if the stream was lower resolution and bit rate, more streams can be supported. This is a function of network bit rate and internal processor capability.
How many different streams can be set up in the encoder:
Typically this is 1-4 streams . So an encoder supporting 4 different streams means each stream can be given a different resolution frame rate bit rate, among other things .
At Antrica, we understand the importance of a professional, qualified and expert approach. For 15 years, our team of UK specialists have worked with system integrators & organisations from all over the world find the perfect video encoder or decoder solution.
We excel in customer satisfaction and our team are one of the most efficient you will find, along with providing a personal touch to the service we offer.

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!
