Analog CVBS PAL + USB UVC Camera to IP Ethernet Encoder Board
Overview
The Analog CVBS PAL + USB UVC Camera to IP Ethernet Encoder Board is a compact video conversion module designed to integrate traditional analog cameras and USB digital cameras into IP-based video systems.
Supporting one CVBS PAL analog video input and one USB UVC camera input, this encoder board converts camera video into network streams for transmission over Ethernet. Each camera can be accessed through its corresponding RTSP stream URL, allowing users to view video from compatible computers, network video systems, and supported media players.
With a compact embedded design, this module is suitable for UAV video transmission, robotics, industrial inspection, remote monitoring, and custom video integration projects.
Key Features

How It Works
- Connect a CVBS PAL analog camera to the analog video input.
- Connect a compatible USB UVC camera to the USB interface.
- Connect the encoder board to an Ethernet network through the RJ45 port.
- Power the board using the specified power supply.
- Configure the network and camera settings as required.
- Access the individual camera streams using their corresponding RTSP URLs in a compatible media player.
Example RTSP addresses:
-
Main stream:
rtsp://192.168.1.30/mainStream -
Sub stream:
rtsp://192.168.1.30/subStream
These are example addresses from the product documentation. Confirm the actual stream-to-camera mapping and network settings for your device.
FAQ
Q1: Can this encoder board connect both a CVBS camera and a USB camera simultaneously?
Yes. The board supports one CVBS PAL analog video input and one USB UVC camera input. Each input can be accessed through its corresponding RTSP stream.
Q2: Which USB camera formats are supported?
The documented USB UVC input supports MJPEG. RAW and H.264 are not directly supported as USB camera input formats on this configuration.
Q3: Does the board support 1080p USB cameras?
Alternative resolution requests, including 1080p, can be configured through serial AT commands. Actual performance depends on the USB camera's capabilities and available bandwidth. The manufacturer recommends the default 720p configuration for reliable initialization and smooth video.
Q4: Can I view the video streams on a computer?
Yes. Connect the board to the Ethernet network and use a compatible RTSP media player to access the camera streams. Network configuration may be required.
Q5: Can I use this board for drone video transmission?
Yes. It is suitable for integration into UAV and drone video systems that use IP-based video transmission. Compatibility with the complete transmission system should be verified before deployment.
Q6: Can this product be customized for an OEM project?
OEM/ODM support is available for customized video conversion requirements. Contact us with your input interfaces, output requirements, resolution, frame rate, power supply, and intended application.
