3.3 Overview of functions
Network video server
The VideoJet XTC XF is a compact video transcoder that enables HD video to be seen over
wide area networks or through mobile access in original quality. It provides two independent
transcoded streams, enabling live viewing access to two HD cameras or playback of their
recordings simultaneously, regardless of the network bandwidth. Having found an event or a
point of interest, pausing the replay causes Instant Display Enhancement to present the HD
image in its original recording quality.
Its Dynamic Transcoding functionality makes it the ideal entrance door for central monitoring
systems to remote HD camera sites, or for remote clients to small business HD video
surveillance installations.
Its transcoding services seamlessly integrate with VRM Video Recording Manager installations,
enabling e.g. mobile access for on-site guards to HD video, both live and playback.
Flexibility
VideoJet XTC XF transcoders offer local recording for up to four connected HD cameras on
CompactFlash, or network-attached RAID iSCSI storage devices. The built-in iSCSI support
enables the VideoJet XTC XF transcoders to act as conventional DVRs while providing
transcoded HD video across any bandwidth-type of network.
Transcoding
The transcoder features eight profiles that can be predefined for various types of network
connections. These profiles, selectable on the playback page, provide a quick and easy
adaptation to the available bandwidth.
Viewing
View the VideoJet XTC XF transcoder video with the Bosch Video Security app for iOS devices
like Apple iPad, on a PC using a Web browser, in the Bosch Video Management System, or
integrate it into another video management system.
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.
Access security
The VideoJet XTC XF transcoders 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,
DOC | V5.60 | 2012.09 Installation and Operating Manual Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH
VideoJet XTC XF Product description | en 11
each communication channel—video or serial I/O—can be independently AES encrypted with
128-bit keys, once the Encryption Site License has been applied.
Forensic Search
The VideoJet XTC XF transcoders provide Forensic Search in the recordings of its assigned
IVA-enabled cameras. Simple line and field definitions, drawn over the video image, allow
quick and efficient search through the metadata of camera recordings.Forensic Search is
possible via the Bosch Video Security app as well as the Web browser playback interface.
ONVIF conformance
VideoJet XTC XF conforms to ONVIF 1.02 and ONVIF Profile S, providing interoperability
between network video products regardless of manufacturer. In addition, its firmware

5.3 General > Identification
Device name
You can give the VideoJet XTC XF transcoder a name to make it easier to identify. The name
makes the task of administering multiple units in larger video monitoring systems easier, for
example using the Bosch Video Client or Bosch Video Management System programs.
The device name is used for the remote identification of a unit, in the event of an alarm for
example. For this reason, enter a name that makes it as easy as possible to quickly identify the
location.
