3.3 Overview of Functions

Network Video Server

The VideoJet X40 is a compact network video server for four 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 MPEG-4 format, the VideoJet X40 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 X40 as a sender and a VIP XD 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.
The VideoJet X40 features industrial standard, robust equipment and is therefore equally
suited to stationary as well as mobile use in rail or other vehicles.

Receiver

Compatible MPEG-4 enabled hardware decoders (for example the VIP XD) can be used as
receivers. Computers with decoding software such as VIDOS or computers with the Microsoft
Internet Explorer Web browser can also be used as receivers.

Video Encoding

The VideoJet X40 uses the MPEG-4 and H.264 video compression standards. 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.

Dual Streaming

Dual Streaming allows the incoming data stream to be encoded simultaneously according to
two different, individually customized profiles. This feature creates two data streams per
camera that can serve different purposes, for example one for recording and one optimized
for live transmission over the LAN.

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.

Encryption

The VideoJet X40 offers a variety of options for protection against unauthorized reading. Web
browser connections can be protected using HTTPS. You can protect the control channels via
the SSL encryption protocol. With an additional license, the user data itself can be encrypted.

14 en | Product Description VideoJet X40

DOC | V4.0 | 2009.06 Installation and Operating Manual Bosch Security Systems

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 X40's bidirectional serial interface. This
interface can also be used to transmit transparent data.

Tamper Detection and Motion Detectors

The VideoJet X40 offers a wide range of configuration options for alarm signaling in the event
of tampering with the connected cameras. An algorithm for detecting movement in the video
image is also part of the scope of delivery and can optionally be extended to include special
video analysis algorithms.

Snapshots

Individual video frames (snapshots) can be called up as JPEG images by the VideoJet X40,
stored on the computer's hard drive or displayed in a separate browser window.

Recordings

Various local memory options enable the VideoJet X40 to be used as a digital VCR. The
VideoJet X40 supports ANR technology, which guarantees seamless recording without gaps
via VIDOS-NVR, even during network failures. A connection to an appropriately configured
iSCSI system enables long-term recordings with high image quality over the network.

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 and can be redisplayed using the Player supplied as part of
the scope of delivery.

Integrated Network Switch

The integrated switch functionality of the VideoJet X40 permits the ETH 1, ETH 2 and SFP
interfaces to be used alternatively, redundantly or for cascading other units.

Protected VideoJet X40

If the VideoJet X40 is password protected against unauthorized access, the Web browser
displays a corresponding message and prompts you to enter the password when you attempt
to access protected areas.

1. Enter the user name and associated password in the corresponding text fields.

2. Click OK. If the password is entered correctly, the Web browser displays the page that
was called up.

Protected Network

If a RADIUS server is employed in the network for managing access rights (802.1x
authentication), the VideoJet X40 must be configured accordingly, otherwise no
communication is possible.
To configure the unit, you must connect the VideoJet X40 directly to a computer using a
network cable. This is because communication via the network is not enabled until the
Identity and Password parameters have been set and successfully authenticated (see
Section Authentication, page 84).

5.2 Configuration Menu

The SETTINGS page provides access to the configuration menu, which contains all the unit's
parameters arranged in groups. You can view the current settings by opening one of the
configuration screens. You can change the settings by entering new values or by selecting a
predefined value from a list field.
There are two options for configuring the unit or checking the current settings:
– Basic mode
– Advanced mode
In Basic Mode the most important parameters are arranged in seven groups. This allows you
to change the basic settings with just a few entries and then put the device into operation.
Advanced Mode is recommended for expert users or system support personnel. You can
access all unit parameters in this mode. Settings that affect the fundamental functionality of
the unit (such as firmware updates) can only be altered in the advanced mode.
All parameter groups are described in this chapter in the order in which they are listed in the
configuration menu, from the top of the screen to the bottom.

All settings are backed up in the VideoJet X40 memory so they are not lost even if the power
fails.

i

NOTICE!

The VideoJet X40 offers the option to limit the extent of access using various authorization
levels (see Section 5.11 Advanced Mode: Password, page 38).

!

CAUTION!

The settings in the advanced mode should only be processed or modified by expert users or
system support personnel.
