The WJ-GXE500 network video encoder is part of the Panasonic i-Pro SmartHD lineup. It is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) IEEE802.3af, 4-channel encoder that uses less than half the power consumption of equivalent models. The WJ-GXE500 also uses the Panasonic proprietary UniPhier System LSI that is compliant with the H.264 high profile standard format and makes it possible to stream video over the network at a lower data size.
