AXIS video server blade and rack solution

Axis Communications introduces a video server blade and rack solution for professional surveillance installations. The AXIS 291 1U Video Server Rack holds up to three interchangeable Axis blade video servers and includes a built-in Gigabit switch. The AXIS 243Q Blade Video Server is specially designed for the AXIS 291 1U rack. It converts video signals from up to four analog cameras into full frame rate, de-interlaced digital video that can be viewed via an IP network. The combination is ideal for use in any professional security application that requires the conversion of analog video to a high-performance, digital solution. The AXIS 243Q blade video server delivers 30 frames a second of video per channel, at 4CIF, in MPEG-4 or Motion JPEG compression. In addition, it offers a number of advanced features such as video motion detection, image upload, and scheduled and triggered event functionality with alarm notification.
