Overview of functions
High Definition video decoder
VIDEOJET decoder 7000
from cameras and encoders using H.264 or MPEG‑4 encoding at up to 30 images per second
over IP networks.
It can flawlessly decode four 1080p30 streams, or four H.264 720p60 streams, or six H.264
720p30 streams, all at 10 Mbps. Alternatively, it can simultaneously decode twelve H.264 SD
streams at up to 6 Mbps from fast-moving AUTODOME cameras with the highest clarity. When
H.264 SD streams at up to 2.5 Mbps from medium activity scenes are connected, up to 20
streams can be displayed.
VIDEOJET decoder 7000 can drive two HD displays directly, each with an independently
configurable screen layout, and so is ideally suited for applications with flat-screen monitor
walls at a moderate cost-per-monitor.
Compact in size in relation to its decoding power, VIDEOJET decoder 7000 is perfect for any
display application that requires space-saving solutions.
Remote control
Control the viewing mode remotely and establish the video connections using comprehensive
Bosch video management systems.
Operating system
VIDEOJET decoder 7000 is based on the latest Intel H77 Express Chipset on a Mini-ITX board
with a Core i3 CPU running at 3.1 GHz. The system has a 16 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 fine-tuned for HD
video decoding support.
VIDEOJET decoder 7000 provides three monitor outputs, DVI‑I, HDMI, and DP; two of these
can be used at the same time.
High performance
Transmit HD IP video to a high-performance VIDEOJET decoder 7000 and present it with
ultimate clarity on large, flat-screen HD monitors, for example, high-performance 32” or 55”
Bosch HD LCD monitors.
Bosch Security Systems if you find any damage.
displays High Definition (HD) and Standard Definition (SD) video
VIDEOJET decoder 7000 is capable of flawlessly decoding four full HD 1080p30 streams or
four 720p60 streams or six 720p30 streams, for example, displayed in one of the pre-defined
and on-the-fly switchable layouts. It can handle up to twelve SD streams at up to 6 Mbps with
full resolution and frame rate, and display it in e.g. 1+5 views on both 16:9 monitors.
At a lower resolution, bit rate, or frame rate, the decoder is capable of displaying up to 60
video streams, arranged in various selectable screen layouts.
Layouts can be switched at any time during operation, initiated by the controlling video
management system. Layout switching can be based on alarm scenarios.
VIDEOJET decoder 7000 supports landscape and portrait video and monitors. Layouts will
adapt automatically to optimally utilize the available screen space.
Access security
The decoders offer various security levels for accessing the network, the unit, and the data
channels. System access is password-protected with two levels.
For total data protection, the decoder supports SSL where each video communication channel
is independently encrypted with up to 256‑bit keys.
Malware resistance
VIDEOJET decoder 7000 has been designed to be resistant to viruses and other malware. To
prevent security holes, the installed Bosch software limits transactions to operation and
maintenance and the embedded operating system is tailored to the needs. No other than
Microsoft and Bosch software is running on the decoder. Its firewall performs at the highest
security level and allows communication only for a minimum of needed services. All access is
password-protected, USB and other storage devices are disabled, and update files are
authenticated and encrypted, thus putting robustness against malicious software to the
highest degree.
Easy upgrade
Remotely upgrade the decoder whenever new firmware or software becomes available. This
ensures up-to-date products, thus protecting investment with little effort.
VIDEOJET decoder 7000 provides the following main functions:

VIDEOJET decoder 7000
Select a suitable location for installation that guarantees to meet the environmental
conditions.
Notice!
The ambient temperature for the unit must be between
relative humidity must not exceed 90%.
The unit and the power supply unit generate heat during operation, so you should ensure that
there is adequate ventilation and enough clearance between both units and heat-sensitive
objects or equipment. Please note the maximum heat value of 460 BTU/h per unit without the
power supply.
Please ensure the following installation conditions:
Do not install the unit or the power supply unit close to heaters or other heat sources.
–
Avoid locations exposed to direct sunlight.
–All ventilation openings must be kept free from blockings. Do not stack several units one
on top of each other.
–Allow sufficient space for running cables.
–Ensure that both the unit and the power supply unit have adequate ventilation. Bear the
total heat output in mind, particularly when installing multiple units in a switch cabinet.
–When making connections, use only the cables supplied or use appropriate cables
immune to electromagnetic interference.
–Position and run all cables so that they are protected from damage, and provide adequate
cable strain relief where needed.
–Avoid impacts, blows, and severe vibrations that exceed the specification limits, as these
can irreparably damage the unit.
and the power supply unit are both intended for use indoors only.
You can mount the decoder to an approved monitor using the supplied mounting kit.
Caution!
Injuries by falling equipment
The mounting location must be able to reliably hold the unit. The load-bearing capacity must
be adequate for four times the weight of the unit.
If mounting the unit to the back of a monitor, use only monitors that are approved by
Security Systems. You can obtain a list of approved monitors from your supplier or directly
from Bosch Security Systems. This list is constantly being updated and extended.
When mounting the unit on the rear side of a monitor, ensure that there is adequate
ventilation and enough clearance between both units and walls or other monitors, especially
with several monitors mounted side by side on a wall.
As an alternative you can screw on the four stands supplied to the bottom of the decoder and
place the unit upon an appropriate flat surface from which it cannot fall down.
Do not connect the decoder to the power supply until all other connections have been made.
Otherwise the automatic assignment of the IP address will fail and a faulty monitor resolution
will be set. This may lead to serious damage of the unit.
Connecting monitors
You must connect a suitable monitor to the decoder. You can obtain a list of approved
monitors from your supplier or directly from
being updated and extended.
The unit provides three monitor outputs, DVI-I, HDMI and DP; two of these can be used at the
same time.
Notice!
When connecting a monitor to the DVI-I output, do not use a DVI-to-VGA adapter.
The monitor must be equipped with a DVI input.

Connecting audio
The decoder has an audio port for audio line signals (input and output, both mono).
The audio signals are transmitted two-way and in sync with the video signals. As a result, you
can connect a speaker, for example. The following specifications should be complied with in
all cases.
1 × Line In (blue ring):Impedance 9 kohm typ., 5.5 V
1 × Line Out (green ring):Impedance 16 ohm min., 3 V
