(openPR) - (Taipei, Taiwan – March 17, 2009) Lanner Electronics, a leading designer and ODM manufacturer of advanced network video platforms, today announced the release of a new NVR for surveillance and other high-density network video applications. The Lanner VR-2416 provides 16-channel analog video input, internal H.264/AVC Full D1 encoding, video looping and sequence monitoring, TV-Out and DVI-D ports.

Tim Chen, vice president of Lanner Electronics, said, "Lanner provides complete OEM/ODM customization services for partners looking to develop comprehensive network video solutions. This platform provides all of the hardware features for a complete video system in a compact 2U platform. With so many features on one platform, customers can design all-in-one solutions without the need to add expansion cards to achieve their design goals."

The VR-2416 includes DVI / VGA output and TV-Out video looping and sequencing, allowing the user to view multiple video streams sequentially. Additionally, the VR-2416 has all of its I/O and network interfaces placed on the rear of the unit, with only the USB ports, power button and DVD-RW drive front-facing. This design allows OEM customers to customize the faceplate and exterior of the product to better suit their own branding requirements.

Platform specifications include 16-channel H.264/AVC hardware encoder with an Intel Q35 + ICH9DO chipset supporting Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad CPUs, four internal 3.5” SATA II hard drive bays, a slim DVD-RW drive, maximum 4GB DDR2 RAM and two GbE network ports. Internal Rapid Recovery and support for RAID levels 0, 1, 10 and 5 ensure data integrity. The VR-2416 supports Windows XP and several Linux versions including Ubuntu 7.0 and Fedora 7 or 10. It includes an SDK for either Windows or Linux, along with the Lanner EyeShot 2000 SDK and control panel reference software.
