3.3 Overview of Functions

3.3.1 Network Video Server

The VideoJet X40 is a compact network video server for four connected video sources. It is primarily designed for encoding video, audio and control data for transfer over an IP network. With its encoding in the MPEG-4 format, the VideoJet X40 is ideally suited for making existing analog CCTV cameras IP-compatible and for remote access to digital VCRs and multiplexers. The use of existing networks means that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be achieved quickly and easily. Two units, a VideoJet X40 as a sender and a VIP XD as a receiver, for example, can create a standalone system for data transfer without a PC. Video images from a single sender can be received simultaneously on multiple receivers. Audio signals can also be transmitted from and to compatible units. The VideoJet X40 features industrial standard, robust equipment and is therefore equally suited to stationary as well as mobile use in rail or other vehicles.

3.3.2 Receiver

Compatible MPEG-4 enabled hardware decoders such as VIP XD can be used as receivers. Computers with decoding software installed, such as VIDOS, or computers with the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser can also be used as receivers.

3.3.3 Video Encoding

The VideoJet X40 uses the MPEG-4 video compression standard. Thanks to efficient encoding, the data rate remains low even with high image quality and can also be adapted to local conditions within wide limits.

3.3.4 Dual Streaming

Dual Streaming allows the incoming data stream to be encoded simultaneously according to two different, individually customized profiles. This feature creates two data streams per camera that can serve different purposes, for example one for recording and one optimized for transmission over the LAN.

3.3.5 Multicast

In suitably configured networks, the multicast function enables simultaneous real-time video transmission to multiple receivers. The UDP and IGMP V2 protocols must be implemented on the network for this function.

3.3.6 Encryption

The VideoJet X40 offers a variety of options for protection against unauthorized reading. Web browser connections can be protected using HTTPS. You can protect the control channels via the SSL encryption protocol. With an additional license, the user data itself can be encrypted.

Bosch Security Systems Installation and Operating Manual V3.5 | 2007.12

14 en | Product Description VideoJet X40

3.3.7 Remote Control

For remote control of external units such as pan or tilt heads for cameras or motorized zoom lenses, control data is transmitted via the VideoJet X40's bidirectional serial interface. This interface can also be used to transmit transparent data.

3.3.8 Tamper Detection and Motion Detectors

The VideoJet X40 offers a wide range of configuration options for alarm signaling in the event of tampering with the connected cameras. An algorithm for detecting movement in the video image is also part of the scope of delivery and can optionally be extended to include special video analysis algorithms.

3.3.9 Snapshots

Individual video images (snapshots) can be called up from the VideoJet X40, stored on the computer's hard drive or displayed in a separate browser window in JPEG format.

3.3.10 Recordings

Various local memory options enable the VideoJet X40 to be used as a digital VCR. The VideoJet X40 supports ANR technology, which guarantees seamless recording without gaps via VIDOS-NVR, even during network failures. A connection to an appropriately configured iSCSI system enables long-term recordings with high image quality over the network.

3.3.11 Backup

A function for storing the video images displayed on the hard drive of your computer is available on the LIVEPAGE as well as on the RECORDINGS page. Video sequences can be stored by means of a mouse click and can be redisplayed using the Player supplied as part of the scope of delivery.

3.3.12 Integrated Network Switch

5.1.5 Protected VideoJet X40

If the VideoJet X40 is password protected against unauthorized access, the Web browser displays a corresponding message and prompts you to enter the password when you attempt to access protected areas.

NOTICE!

The VideoJet X40 offers the option to limit the extent of access using various authorization

levels (see Section 5.6 Password, page 34).

1. Enter the user name and associated password in the corresponding text fields.

2. Click OK. If the password is entered correctly, the Web browser displays the page that was called up.

5.1.6 Protected Network

If a RADIUS server is employed in the network for managing access rights (802.1x authentication), the VideoJet X40 must be configured accordingly, otherwise no communication is possible. To configure the unit, you must connect the VideoJet X40 directly to a computer using a network cable. This is because communication via the network is not enabled until the Identity and Password parameters have been set and successfully authenticated (see Section 5.28.17 Authentication, page 79).

5.2 Configuration Menu

The SETTINGS page provides access to the configuration menu, which contains all the unit's parameters arranged in groups. You can view the current settings by opening one of the configuration screens. You can change the settings by entering new values or by selecting a predefined value from a list field. All parameter groups are described in this chapter in the order in which they are listed in the configuration menu, from the top of the screen to the bottom.

CAUTION!

The settings in the configuration menu should only be processed or modified by expert users or system support personnel.

All settings are stored in the VideoJet X40's memory so that they are retained even if the power supply is interrupted.
