Cisco Cisco Video Surveillance 4 Port Encoder Release Notes

Cisco Video Surveillance Standalone Encoder firmware release 1.2.0 resolves caveat 

the 

) and adds support for variable bitrate configuration on the encoder. This 

feature requires VSM 7.0.1 or later.

When using Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager (VSOM) to control PTZ on a device that is 
connected to a Cisco Video Surveillance Standalone Encoder, there may be an end-to-end latency of up 
to 400 ms. This behavior is expected, particularly when using a Joystick.

You can upgrade your encoder to firmware 1.2.0 by using the Firmware Upgrade feature in the VSM
