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

 

The integrated switch functionality of the VideoJet X40 permits the ETH 1, ETH 2 and SFP

 

interfaces to be used alternatively, redundantly or for cascading other units.

4.3.11Backup Power Supply

When used in mobile vehicles (for example public transport), the VideoJet X40 is usually switched on when the vehicle is started with the ignition key. If the ignition is switched off, the power supply to the unit is also stopped. To keep the internal clock running when the engine is off, you can connect the VideoJet X40 directly to the car battery via the BP and GND contacts. The correct time is crucial for evaluating local recordings.

CAUTION!

!Connect only batteries with the following specification: 10 to 30 V DC, 50 Ah max., 12/24 V continuous flow.

1.Connect the + (plus) line on the car battery to the BP terminal on the orange terminal block.

2.Connect the (minus) line on the car battery to the GND terminal on the orange terminal block.

3.Now check that the connections are secure.

now ready for use. The VideoJet X40 does not come supplied with a power supply unit.

CAUTION!

Use only power supply units with UL approval and a power output according to LPS or

NEC Class 2.

!Where necessary, use suitable equipment to ensure that the power supply is free from interference such as voltage surges, spikes or voltage drops.

Do not connect the VideoJet X40 to the power supply until all other connections have been made.

1.Plug the terminal block with the PSU cable connected into the orange socket on the VideoJet X40.
