Transcoding - Record in high resolution with remote playback in suitable bandwidth resolution.
Available on all NetVu Connected DVR’s and Video Servers, TransCoding allows for video recorded in a high resolution to be simultaneously viewed at a lower resolution, with no effect on the quality of the recorded images, when transmitted over bandwidth constrained networks. For example a security guard can review footage from a remote location over a mobile device, allowing the appropriate follow up action to be taken.
Unlike other systems that force the viewer to stream the recorded image, blocking the ability to quickly access event details, TransCoding allows rapid access of recorded video. Whilst allowing quick and efficient post event analysis, TransCoding also protects the detailed recording for evidential purposes.
Dedicated Micros generates independent streams for remote playback allowing mobile devices to review footage at a faster update rate to quickly pinpoint video if interest. This efficient playback of high-resolution images means the network doesn’t become choked up from playback data. This is especially beneficial when mobile devices are concerned and means low bandwidth links can be used to affectively access the necessary images.
TransCoding Benefits

Adaptable
TransCoding can adapt the recorded image stream for transmission over different networks. LAN, WAN and Mobile networks all have different bandwidths. TransCoding adapts each and every image stream to suit the users viewing capabilities. For example any one NetVu Connected DVR can simultaneously supply images to users connected using the high speed LAN (Local Area Network), the WAN (e.g. a remote office worker connected over ADSL) or a mobile network such as 3G.
Constant Quality
The transmission of TransCoded images does not affect the quality of the originally recorded data, which can be kept, used and exported locally for reviewing. In fact the original recorded footage can be downloaded by remote clients such as NetVu Observer removing the need for the user to physically visit the unit to retrieve the footage.
Remote
TransCoding is perfect for the remote viewing of footage captured using megapixel or HD cameras. Despite the large bit rates and data files generated by these cameras TransCoding will smartly create a real-time, lower resolution stream of the recorded footage for review by a remote user. Should the original footage be required for more detailed inspection then it can be easily downloaded.
Triple Codec Support
Continuing to provide our customers with choice, Dedicated Micros’ TransCoding engine supports MPEG-4, H.264 and MJPEG.
Polymorphic Streaming
Enables on-the-fly changes to bit rate, resolution and compression without affecting recording. Unlike RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) this doesn’t require the streams to be stopped and re-started for the changes to take place.
Flexible
Our TransCoding engine enables NetVu Connected DVRs to flexibly fit into any network architecture, adapting its usage to suit the installation.Download the Dedicated Micros Sales Pack
