System Flexibility
Three Codecs − H.264, MPEG-4, and JPEG Support
Each model supports the H.264, MPEG-4, and JPEG 
compression formats at full 30/25 fps in D1 resolution.  The 
industry-standard JPEG compression format is the best choice 
for high-quality still images.  MPEG-4 provides clear moving 
images efficiently over networks when bandwidth and storage 
are limited.  While H.264 provides twice the efficiency of 
MPEG-4, for when bandwidth and storage is even more limited.
Dual-encoding Capability
With its dual-encoding capability, the SNT-EX/EP Series can 
generate any two formats from H.264, MPEG-4, and JPEG 
simultaneously.  This flexibility allows you to maximize your 
network and storage resources. 
FEATURES
High-quality Images Based on Advanced 
Technology
The SNT-EX/EP Series delivers clearer and brighter, high-quality 
images thanks to state-of-the-art image-enhancing 
technology. 
Visibility Enhancer 
The SNT-EX/EP Series includes Visibility Enhancer technology.  
This tone-correction technology optimizes the visibility of a 
scene by increasing brightness in darker areas of the scene 
and compressing the brighter areas.  The result is sharper, 
clearer images and a higher level of visibility − all of which are 
critical for security surveillance.
XDNR (eXcellent Dynamic Noise Reduction)
Incorporating newly developed XDNR technology, these video 
encoders can provide clear images while at the same time 
minimizing motion blur under low illumination.  What’s more, 
when both XDNR and Visibility Enhancer are turned on, the 
video encoders can achieve four times the sensitivity com-
pared to when they are off.
This technology is ideal for any outdoor surveillance 
monitoring, such as a car parked at night.
Dynamic Frame Integration (DFI)
Incorporating Dynamic Frame Integration (DFI) technology, 
the SNT-EX/EP Series can reproduce clear images that 
contain both still and moving objects.  DFI technology detects 
movement within the image and reproduces those areas with 
minimal blurring, while − at the same time − areas with little 
or no movement are displayed naturally with minimal jagged 
edges.  DFI also ensures clear images in low light conditions.

Intelligence
DEPA Advanced − Intelligent Video and Audio 
Analytics*
(SNT-EX Series)
Incorporating DEPA Advanced technology, the SNT-EX Series 
offers intelligent video and audio analytics.  With this feature, 
the video encoders can trigger an alarm based on user-
defined rules.  This allows users to further refine the criteria for 
triggering an alarm, making the overall system more efficient.
• Intelligent Motion Detection
With this feature, the SNT-EX Series can trigger an alarm 
based on up to three user-defined rules, such as intrusion 
across a virtual border utilizing edge VMF or a beam 
intrusion detector*
