Introduction

The rugged VPort 254 is a 4-channel industrial video encoder that provides up to 120 FPS at CIF resolution (NTSC: 352 x 240; PAL: 352 x 288), and supports an optional MJPEG/MPEG4 algorithm, making it especially well suited for use with distributed surveillance systems in critical industrial applications. In addition, the VPort 254 supports serial-to-Ethernet and Modbus/TCP communications for integrating automation systems, and 2-way audio is provided to allow real-time communication between system administrators located at a central site and engineers in the field.

Rugged Design for Mission-critical Industrial Environments

• Operates reliably in -40 to 75°C environments (T models)
  
• Built-in single-mode or multi-mode fiber optic Ethernet port (media converter not required)
  
• More reliable with redundant 12/24 VDC and 24 VAC power inputs
  
• Metal form factor with IP30 protection against dust
  
• DIN-Rail mounting installation suitable for industrial environments
  
• UL508 certified for industrial environments
