AXIS Q7414 Video Encoder Blade is a four-channel blade for video encoder rack solutions, enabling large numbers of analog cameras and audio channels to be integrated into an IP-based, high-density video surveillance system. The high-performance video encoder blade provides superb video quality, outstanding compression capabilities and two-way audio support. When AXIS Q7414 blades are used with AXIS Q7900 Rack, up to 56 analog cameras and audio channels can be supported in one 4U, 19-inch rack. AXIS Q7414 offers the highly efficient H.264 video compression, which drastically reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality. Motion JPEG is also supported for increased flexibility. AXIS Q7414 can deliver multiple, individually configurable video streams from each channel at full frame rate in all resolutions up to D1 (720x480 in NTSC, 720x576 in PAL).

The four audio channels deliver high-quality AAC streams, providing a compact and cost-effective solution for large installations that require two-way audio. In addition, the built-in phantom power source with adjustable input gain simplifies the installation of balanced microphones. The video encoder also enables users to adjust image settings such as contrast, brightness and saturation to improve images before encoding takes place. AXIS Q7414 offers intelligent capabilities such as enhanced video motion detection, active tampering alarm and audio detection. The encoder’s external inputs and outputs can be connected to devices such as sensors and relays, enabling the system to react to alarms and activate lights or open/close doors.
