MAX-CSE Video Encoder

Overview

The MAX-CSE (Commercial Solutions Encoder) allows audio and video signals to be delivered in real- time across any IP network for broadcast to a virtually limitless number of destinations – classrooms, boardrooms, training facilities, retail store branches, and other commercial settings. The MAX-CSE also provides real-time encoding of both analog audio or video content into both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 formats for delivery across these same IP networks directly to a MAX-CSD10 Decoder, Modero VG- Series Touch Panel, or computer (playback is enabled via a third-party streaming MPEG player).

The MAX Encoder features a rear Ethernet port which provides 10/100 Ethernet connectivity as well as IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) functionality. This feature enables DC power to be supplied to this device over the unused pairs of wires on the connected Ethernet cable.
