VideoJet X20/X40 XF E H.264 Video
Encoder

Bosch VideoJet X20/X40 XF E encoders belong to a
family of high-performance, dual- or quad-input CCTV
video encoders that deliver real-time H.264 compressed
video over IPv4 and IPv6 networks. The units provide two
independent streams per camera with full frame rate at
best quality for different purposes, like one stream for live
viewing with lowest delay while the second stream is
optimized for requiring only little recording space.

VideoJet X20/X40 XF E encoders support PAL and NTSC
sources and provide bidirectional audio communication in
parallel to video. They are built into a housing that can be
easily rack- or wall-mounted. These powerful and flexible
devices represent the cutting edge of high-performance
Video-over-IP for CCTV today.

Functions

Flexibility

VideoJet X20/X40 XF E encoders offer unparalleled
recording flexibility. Stream video across the network and
store it using Network Video Recorders (NVRs). Record
locally on CompactFlash, or network-attached RAID iSCSI
storage devices. The built-in iSCSI support

 High-quality H.264 video over IPv4 and IPv6 


 Bandwidth-friendly adaptive bit rate encoding 


 Transcoding at the edge for advanced remote replay 


 Network-attached RAID storage via iSCSI 


 Local recording on CF card 

enables the VideoJet X20/X40 XF E encoders to act as
conventional DVRs while streaming high-performance live
video across the network.

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.

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 bandwidth-limited 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.

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).

Recording profiles

The encoders feature a highly flexible recording
scheduler, providing up to ten programmable recording
profiles and allowing individually assigned camera
profiles. With these profiles, you can accelerate the
frame rate as well as increase the resolution on alarm,
saving recording space during non-alarm periods.

H.264 Main Profile and Baseline Profile encoding

Bosch VideoJet X20/X40 XF E encoders use H.264 Main
Profile and Baseline Profile to encode the video signal.
H.264 Main Profile allows encoding with the best encoding
and compression efficiency while H.264 Baseline Profile
maintains backward compatibility to less-advanced
decoders.

Frame rates and resolution

The VideoJet X20/X40 XF E encoders provide
dedicated hardware for encoding and thus are not
limited in frame rate and resolution settings, nor in
Dual Streaming.

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.

Intelligence

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.

Camera control

Configure and control your camera or dome using one of
the various pre-defined control protocols.
VideoJet X20/X40 XF E encoders provide a serial
interface.

Easy upgrade

Remotely upgrade the VideoJet X20/X40 XF E encoders
whenever new firmware becomes available. This ensures
up-to-date products, thus protecting investment with little
effort.

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.
