3.3 Overview of functions
Network video server
The VideoJet XF E is a compact network video server for two (VideoJet X20 XF E) or four
(VideoJet X40 XF E) 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 H.264 format,
the VideoJet XF E 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, for example a VideoJet XF E as a sender and a VIP XD HD as a receiver, 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.
Triple Streaming
The VideoJet X20/X40 XF E encoders use Dual Streaming to generate two independent
IP video streams per channel. This allows viewing and recording at two different quality levels
to save disk space and bandwidth. As a third stream for easier third-party integration they
provide an independently configured M-JPEG stream. On alarm, they can send an e-mail with
JPEG images attached.
Video encoding
The VideoJet XF E uses the H.264 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.
Audio encoding
The VideoJet XF E uses the G.711 and L16 audio compression standards. G.711 is the default
setting both for live transmission and recording. When configuring with a Web browser, you
can select L16 for recording. Using video management systems, L16 is also available for live
audio.
Viewing
View the VideoJet X20/X40 XF E encoder video on a PC using a Web browser, in the Bosch
Video Management System, or integrate it into another video management system. By routing
the IP video to a high-performance VIP XD HD video decoder you can present the video with
ultimate clarity. Adaptive bit rate encoding enables viewing from remote sites over bandwidthlimited connections and wireless connections to mobile clients. Latest HTML5 technologies
provide easy access from Android, Windows Phone and iOS based mobile devices.
Region of interest (ROI)
Get every detail even on lower bandwidth or smaller video window by panning, tilting and
zooming a region-of-interest cut-out from the full image. ROI is possible on both live viewing
and playback of recordings.
Advanced remote playback
Bosch’s latest enhancements—adaptive bit rate encoding and transcoding—allow replay of
recordings over bandwidth-limited connections with smooth browsing through the footage
while not missing any detail. Be it a remote guard searching for a specific evidence or alerted
by alarm notification, quick access to the relevant recording is easily achieved, and recorded
images are presented in original quality even over weak links.
VideoJet XF E Product description | en 11
Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH Installation and Operating Manual DOC | V5.51 | 2012.03
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.
Access security
The VideoJet X20/X40 XF E encoders offer various security levels for accessing the network,
the unit, and the data channels. As well as password protection with three levels, they
support 802.1x authentication using a RADIUS server for identification. You can secure Web
browser access by HTTPS using a SSL certificate that is stored in the unit. For total data
protection, each communication channel—video, audio, or serial I/O—can be independently
AES encrypted with 128-bit keys, once the Encryption Site License has been applied.
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 XF E's bidirectional serial interface. This
interface can also be used to transmit transparent data.
Motion detector
VideoJet X20/X40 XF E comes with built-in MOTION+ video motion detection. This motion
detection algorithm is based on pixel change and includes object size filtering capabilities and
sensitivity settings.
Dual recording
You can record the streams independently on different media. Thus video can be recorded
centrally on iSCSI drives managed by VRM Video Recording Manager and redundantly on the
local media. If necessary, for example in case of a network failure VRM can fill up the gap in
the central recording (ANR, Automatic Network Replenishment).
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.
ONVIF conformance
Firmware 5.50 introduces conformance to ONVIF 1.02 and ONVIF Profile S, providing
interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer. In addition,
Firmware 5.50 supports all applicable features of the ONVIF 2.2 specification.
ONVIF conformant devices are able to exchange live video, audio, metadata and control
information and ensure that they are automatically discovered and connected to network
applications such as video management systems.

Password
A VideoJet XF E is generally protected by a password to prevent unauthorized access to the
unit. You can use different authorization levels to limit access.
The VideoJet XF E operates with three authorization levels: service, user and live.
The highest authorization level is service. After entering the correct password, you can access
all the functions of the VideoJet XF E and change all configuration settings.
With the user authorization level, you can operate the unit, play back recordings and also
control cameras, for example, but you cannot change the configuration.
The lowest authorization level is live. It can only be used to view the live video image and
switch between the different live image displays.
Proper password protection is only guaranteed when all higher authorization levels are also
protected with a password. Therefore, you always have to start from the highest authorization
level when assigning passwords.
You can define and change a password for each authorization level if you are logged in as
service or if the unit is not password protected.
Enter the password for the appropriate authorization level here. The maximum password text
length is 19 characters.
Confirm password
In each case, enter the new password a second time to eliminate typing mistakes.
5.4 Basic Mode: Date/Time
Device date / Device time / Device time zone
If there are multiple devices operating in your system or network, it is important to
