Multi-Platform Compatibility
The CEN-NVS200 works with most Crestron touch screens

, allowing for
monitoring of a door entry camera, nursery camera or any other composite video
source from remote locations throughout the home or office. It can also be used to
add live video monitoring as part of an e-Control XPanel solution or to an iPhone,
iPad, iPod Touch or Android device using our Crestron Mobile Pro control app.
High Quality Streaming
Video streaming capabilities include high performance H.264, MPEG-4 and MJPEG
compression formats, affording compatibility with Crestron devices and software as
well as computer web browsers. A versatile range of settings allows for optimizing
each individual stream for its intended application and the capabilities of the
network. Video compression settings include frame rate, resolution and image
quality, plus adjustable brightness, contrast, saturation and sharpness. The
CEN-NVS200 supports very high quality video streaming up to 30 fps @ 720 x 480
(NTSC) or 25 fps @ 720 x 576 (PAL) resolutions.

Audio Monitoring
The CEN-NVS200 enables monitoring of live audio along with the video signal by
connecting an external microphone or line level source.

1. Audio monitoring requires connection of an ECM (electret) microphone or line level source to the
CEN-NVS200. When used with a Rava-compatible Crestron touch screen, in addition to receiving
interleaved audio from the CEN-NVS200, a “talk back” signal can also be transmitted from the touch
screen to the CEN-NVS200. However, performance may vary and may not be suitable for 2-way
intercom applications. Talk back requires connection of an amplified speaker to the CEN-NVS200.
Speaker and microphone not included.
2. Actual video and audio streaming capabilities of each touch screen may vary. Consult the spec sheet
for each model to verify capabilities.
