Overview of functions

Video decoder

VIDEOJET decoder 8000 displays video from Standard Definition (SD), High Definition (HD),
4K Ultra High Definition (UHD), and Megapixel (MP) cameras and encoders using H.264 or
MPEG‑4 encoding at up to 60 frames per second over IP networks.
It can flawlessly decode two 4Kp30 streams at 20 Mbps, or six 1080p30 streams, or eight H.
264 720p60 streams, or twelve H.264 720p30 streams, all at 10 Mbps. Alternatively, it can
simultaneously decode 30 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 60 streams can be displayed.
VIDEOJET decoder 8000 can drive two 4K UHD 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.
The system is enclosed in a specially designed housing. It can be directly mounted to the back
of a monitor, using the 100 mm (3.937 in) VESA mount option.
Compact in size in relation to its decoding power, VIDEOJET decoder 8000 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 8000 is based on the latest Intel fifth generation Core i3 CPU. The system
has a 64 GB SSD 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 8.1 embedded operating
system and Monitor Wall software based on UHD-capable VideoSDK 6. Making use of Intel's
hardware decoding accelerators, the software is fine-tuned for 4K UHD and MP video
decoding support.
VIDEOJET decoder 8000 provides two Mini DisplayPorts, both capable of driving up to 4K UHD
monitors simultaneously.

High performance

Transmit 4K UHD and MP IP video to a high-performance VIDEOJET decoder 8000 and present
it with ultimate clarity on large, flat-screen HD monitors, for example, high-performance 19” to
55” Bosch HD LCD monitors.

30 SD streams at up to 6 Mbps with full resolution and frame rate, and display it in flexible
layouts on both 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 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.

Malware resistance

VIDEOJET decoder 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.
