The AXIS 243Q Blade video server is a four-in-one solution, which means that each physical blade unit contains four separate video servers, one for each video input. The individual video servers display as AXIS 243Q(1) Blade, AXIS 243Q(2) Blade, AXIS 243Q(3) Blade and AXIS 243Q(4) Blade. The descriptions that follow apply to all four video servers, except where otherwise indicated. Each input has its own IP address.

The four BNC inputs on AXIS 243Q Blade are for connecting analog video devices. The video server digitizes up to four analog video sources and makes them available on the network as real-time, full frame rate MPEG-4 and/or Motion JPEG video streams.

Each video input provides one alarm input and one alarm output that can be used to connect various third party devices, such as door sensors and alarm bells. The AXIS 243Q(1) Blade provides an RS-485 port for connecting to third-party PTZ systems. PTZ devices can also be used on AXIS 243Q(2) Blade, AXIS 243Q(3) Blade and AXIS 243Q(4) Blade, by creating an internal connection to these from AXIS 243Q(1) Blade.
