A new video encoder system introduced by Red Prime intelligently converges camera-based surveillance, MPEG-4 advanced video coding (AVC) and internet-enabled signal transport for unsurpassed performance, remote management and downstream image mining and motion detection. The initial product, RPT-1000, is the first H.264* compliant network appliance to offer multiple channels, intelligent encoding, IP transport and browser- and windows-based client monitoring software for remote configuration and management. The system maintains extreme security for IP transport. H.264 compression reduces storage by 30%. The RPT-1000 is the first product in a line designed to scale to 64 channels in a single chassis.
