1 Introduction
Overview
The VideoEdge™ IP Encoder (hereafter referred to as IP Encoder) offers high performance IP
video streams for up to four analog video sources. The IP Encoder is specifically designed for
security video which produces compressed video that is up to nine times more efficient than
MPEG-4 and MJPEG products.
The IP Encoder is available in two models:
• Power over Ethernet (PoE), and
• Power Supply (PS).
An Intellex IP System offers a highly reliable digital video management system with the flexibility,
scalability, and improved performance of IP. It is compatible with Network Client™ and all third
party applications developed using the Intellex API, so it is remotely accessible, network ready,
and easy to integrate with other equipment.
The IP Encoder is an ACC video encoder that converts analog video from our existing cameras
and domes into a network compatible IP signal used by Intellex IP and the Intellex Virtual Matrix.
System Configurations
In order to achieve optimal system performance it is highly recommended that your Intellex IP is
running the most recent version of software available on the American Dynamics product website.

Figure 1-1 shows an example system configuration where the IP Encoder is connected to an
Intellex IP network along with other IP camera sources. In this example the IP Encoder is
connected directly to the Intellex IP.
