Introduction
Thank you for purchasing i3 Annexxus 516 IP video encoder device.
Annexxus network video encoders allow to encode analog video into high quality digital video for use and storage on a
hard disk (some models only) or to be transmitted via local area network and stored on your SRX-Pro Server. The benefits
of this technology allow for increased flexibility within the surveillance network.
Annexxus 516 model features 16 BNC video inputs and 16 audio inputs. Optional SATA interface supports up to 4TB of
hard drive storage for on-site redundancy recording, offering an effective and affordable data back-up solution in an NVR
environment.
With video being locally stored on the Ax516, storage loss can be avoided during network interruptions. Additionally,
Ax516 encoder can be used as an IP Network video appliance for transmitting video over the LAN to i3 Digital Video
Management Software (DVMS) software. The Ax516 storage capabilities enable it to function as a conventional stand-
alone DVR as well as a high-quality video streaming encoder. Dual-streaming provides two independent streams per video
input, allowing viewing and recording at two different quality levels to save disk space and bandwidth.
The Ax516 encoder transmits full-motion video at 30 fps (NTSC) or 25 fps (PAL) per channel at the maximum resolution of
960H (960×480 [NTSC]; 960×576 [PAL]). For high-performance, multi-channel surveillance over IP data networks, the
Ax516 is a unique multi-channel encoder that can cost effectively aid the transition from analog video to IP video at the
best possible cost with little worries of video storage lost.
