For compatible products, yes.

Our USB camera to Ethernet encoder solutions support UVC-compatible USB cameras and can output network video streams such as RTSP or UDP.

Camera compatibility should be confirmed before ordering, especially for high-resolution or high-frame-rate cameras.

9. Do your encoder boards support H.264 and H.265?

Many of our video encoder platforms support H.264 and/or H.265 encoding.

The available codec, resolution, frame rate, bitrate, and other parameters depend on the specific hardware platform.

If you have a specific requirement, please send us the desired resolution, frame rate, codec, and bitrate.

IP Video & Network Questions

10. Do your products support RTSP?

Yes.

Selected video encoder products support RTSP streaming.

RTSP can be used to connect the encoder to software, NVR systems, video management systems, computers, or other compatible IP video devices.

11. Do you support UDP video streaming?

Yes.

Depending on the product, UDP streaming can be supported for applications requiring low-latency IP video transmission.

Please tell us your preferred protocol and network architecture so we can recommend the appropriate model.

12. Can the encoder work with an Ethernet network?

Yes.

Our IP video encoder products are designed for Ethernet-based video networking.

Depending on the model, the encoder can connect to a local network, computer, NVR, video server, wireless link, or other IP-based equipment.

13. Can your video encoder be used with a wireless transmission system?

Yes.

An IP video encoder can be integrated with a wireless Ethernet or IP communication system.

For example:

Camera → Video Encoder → Ethernet/IP → Wireless Link → Ethernet/IP → Video Decoder → Display

This architecture can be used for remote video monitoring, robotics, industrial equipment, mobile systems, and other applications.

14. What video resolution do your encoder boards support?

Resolution depends on the specific product.

Different platforms may support resolutions such as standard-definition video, 720p, 1080p, and other formats.

If you require a specific resolution such as 1920×1080 at 60 fps, please tell us your input format and required output parameters before ordering.

15. Can you customize the video bitrate?

For supported platforms, yes.

Video bitrate can often be configured according to the application.

The appropriate bitrate depends on:

  • Resolution
  • Frame rate
  • H.264 or H.265
  • Image complexity
  • Available network bandwidth
  • Required image quality
  • Latency requirements

Our engineering team can recommend suitable parameters based on your application.

Video Decoder Questions

16. What does your IP video decoder do?

An IP video decoder receives a network video stream and converts it into a physical video output.

Depending on the model, outputs may include HDMI, CVBS, or other supported video interfaces.

Typical applications include:

  • IP camera monitoring
  • NVR systems
  • Industrial displays
  • Remote video systems
  • Embedded equipment
  • Wireless video links

17. Can your decoder receive RTSP streams?

Selected decoder platforms support RTSP and other IP video streaming protocols.

Please provide your stream format and protocol if you need to integrate the decoder with an existing camera or video server.

18. Can I use your encoder and decoder together?

Yes.

An encoder and decoder can be used as a complete point-to-point IP video transmission system.

For example:

HDMI Camera → Encoder → Ethernet/IP Network → Decoder → HDMI Monitor

This can also be combined with a wired Ethernet network or an IP wireless communication system.

Custom Development

19. Can you modify an existing encoder board for my project?
