Overview

DESCRIPTION

The PelcoNet NET300 transmission system is a network video server that encodes and decodes live video and control data transmitted and
received over Ethernet computer networks (either intranet or Internet) using the TCP/IP protocol.
The transmission system consists of two units: a transmitter (NET300T) and a receiver (NET300R)—however, only the transmitter is required to
use the system. If a receiver is used, video can be displayed on an NTSC or PAL monitor connected to the receiver. If a receiver is not used, video
can be displayed on a PC connected to the network through a web browser.
Dual MPEG-4 video streams, each of which can be set up differently, is a special feature of the NET300. For example, one video stream might be
set to record at high resolution while the second might have monitoring at a lower resolution.
Transmitters and receivers are identified by IP addresses, just like any other equipment connected to a computer network.
There is a bidirectional serial interface for remote control of peripherals, such as PTZ cameras.
In appropriately configured networks, the multicast function permits simultaneous video transmission in real time to several receivers. For this to
work, the UDP and IGMP multicasting protocols must be implemented in the network.
