FEATURES
Sony introduces its new SNC-P1 MPEG-4/JPEG
network color camera, opening unlimited possibilities
to an extensive range of IP monitoring applications.
Responding to the growing demand for an affordable
and easy-to-use network camera, the SNC-P1 offers a
cost-effective solution for a broad range of remote
monitoring applications such as retail, office,
manufacturing line, as well as web casting. In
addition to the industry-standard JPEG compression
format, the SNC-P1 utilizes the efficient MPEG-4
compression format, which provides smooth
video/audio streaming via ordinary broadband
network environments such as DSL or CATV. And
thanks to the high compression ratio of the MPEG-4
format, the SNC-P1 can achieve a high frame rate of
up to 30 fps
*
even under limited bandwidth over the
Internet. With its built-in web server, images can be
viewed and managed from a PC running a standard
web browser. The SNC-P1 also features audio
capability with a built-in microphone, external
microphone input, and audio line output, which
significantly expands its range of applications. What's
more, the SNC-P1 network camera incorporates a
variety of convenient features – including slow shutter,
motion detection, pre/post-alarm function, and
multicasting capability – to fully support your remote
monitoring and web-casting operations.
With its network functionality and a variety of
convenient features, the Sony SNC-P1 makes remote
monitoring easier, closer, and more affordable than
ever before.
* In order to achieve the maximum frame rate, adequate PC
processing power and network bandwidth are required.
Enter the World of IP Monitoring
with the Sony SNC-P1
MPEG-4/JPEG Network Camera
All-in-One Network Camera
The SNC-P1 incorporates a 1/4-type progressive
scan CCD, built-in microphone, and 100Base-
TX/10Base-T (RJ-45) network interface in a
compact and stylish body. With its built-in web
server, the SNC-P1 allows users to monitor
images and manage the camera on a PC running
a standard web browser; additional software is
not needed.
MPEG-4 Compression Format
The SNC-P1 utilizes the MPEG-4 compression
format that achieves high-compression ratios,
allowing smooth moving images to be streamed
over a wide range of bandwidths. Because of
its high-compression ratios, users can monitor
high-quality moving images with low delay even
at low bandwidths. The transmission mode
(TCP or UDP) and image size can be selected
according to the network environment and
application requirements. Image size can be
selected from six modes: 640 x 480, 480 x 360,
384 x 288, 320 x 240, 256 x 192, and 160 x 120.
What's more, the SNC-P1 supports variable bit
rate up to 2 Mbps, providing high-quality images.
JPEG Compression Format
In addition to the MPEG-4 compression format,
the SNC-P1 employs the industry-standard JPEG
compression format. The image size can be
selected from six modes: 640 x 480, 480 x 360,
384 x 288, 320 x 240, 256 x 192 and 160 x 120.
High Frame Rate
The SNC-P1 produces images with a maximum
frame rate of 30 fps
*
at 320 x 240 size in both
MPEG-4 and JPEG modes, allowing clear and
smooth images to be viewed. The frame rate can
be fixed or set to a variable rate that automatically
adjusts to the available bandwidth.
