Edge Encoders and Decoders

Our VideoSphere Edge encoders and decoders integrate analog video into an IP network and manage the decoding and display of all video streams. These units help organizations get the most from their existing analog surveillance camera and cabling investments and transition to IP video networking cost-effectively.

March Networks Edge encoders work with our video management software running on industry-standard servers and support a range of advanced analytics. The Edge Decode Station controls the display of as many as 64 video streams, while our software-based DecodeStation VX is ideal for control rooms with many monitors or video walls.
