3.2 Overview of functions

High Definition video decoder

The VIP XD HD decoder displays high definition and standard definition video from cameras
and encoders using H.264 or MPEG-4 encoding at up to 30 images per second over IP
networks. It can decode four H.264 720p30 streams at 10 Mbps or two 1080p30 streams at
10 Mbps. Alternatively, it can simultaneously decode six H.264 Standard Definition streams at
up to 6 Mbps from fast-moving AutoDome cameras with the highest clarity. When H.264
Standard Definition streams at up to 2.5 Mbps from medium activity scenes are connected, up
to twelve streams can be displayed.
The VIP XD HD decoder can drive a HD display directly, and so is ideally suited for
applications with flat-screen monitor walls. Compact in size in relation to its decoding power,
VIP XD HD is perfect for any display application that requires space-saving solutions.

Remote control

Control the viewing mode remotely and establish the video connections using Bosch’s
comprehensive video management systems.

Operating system

CPU running at 3.1 GHz. The system has a 8 GB Flash module as boot medium for operating
system and application. It uses a Gigabyte Ethernet port.
The system runs a tailored and Bosch-branded Microsoft Windows 7 Embedded operating
system, and Monitor Wall software based on HD-capable VideoSDK 5, both finetuned for High
Definition video decoding support. The VIP XD HD decoder provides three monitor outputs,
DVI-I, HDMI and DP; only one of these can be used at the same time.
