Crestron releases PoE video streamer

CEN-NVS100

CEN-NVS100

Crestron releases a network video streamer for use with its important range of touchpanels MJPG compatible. The CEN-NVS100 will allow you to display in these touchpanels video feedback from a remote camera easily through the network. The streamer is self-powered throught the PoE Ethernet connection so no need for local power supply. It accepts video composite signal (Either NTSC or PAL) and streams it either in MJPG or MPEG4 format for more compatibility. You can now easily monitor on your Crestron touchapenls remote door entry cameras, nursery or any video feed.

Most recent touchpanels compatible with signal from the streamer includes TPMC-8L, TMPC-8X, and TPMC-4XG.

Text and time can be overlayed on video signal, and privacy masking to avoid video view of private part of image. Up to three motion detection windows can be defined, enabling automated events in response to movement within specific onscreen areas. Events can also be triggered when a loss of signal is detected.

It can also control a pan/tilt/zoom camera via RS-485.

P-S: Audio connectors you can see on pictures are not usable for now (future functions !).
