Introduction
Model 2453 is an audio/video network streaming device. It takes composite video input
from any standard NTSC or PAL source, and optional audio input from a line source or
a microphone. Using state of the art H.264 compression, the device allows streaming
high quality video over an Ethernet connection. Configuration settings are easily
accessible through the web page interface with optional password protection. Network
settings (IP address, ports) can be changed to accommodate various network
configurations. All settings are stored in non-volatile memory and restored after power
up.
Model 2453 is capable of providing 2 simultaneous streams (from a single video source),
for example, a high quality stream for archiving on the remote server and a lower bitrate
stream for live viewing on hand-held devices. With the help of an optional breakout
board (model 2453TA) model 2453 can act as a USB host, allowing use of external
storage or a WiFi dongle.
Model 2453 can also act as a video decoder, converting a network stream into analog
video and audio. (This feature may not be supported immediately. Please contact
Sensoray for availability).
Model 2453 is available in several configurations:
2453 – a board version;
2453S – model 2553 in metal enclosure;
2353TAS – model 2453 + model 2453TA in metal enclosure.
A miniature version of the product, model 2454, weighing less than one ounce, provides
the same functionality as 2453 using high density headers instead of standard
connectors.
