3.3 Overview of Functions

Network Video Server
The VideoJet X40 SN 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 SN 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 SN 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.
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 SN 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 SN 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 SN
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 SN's bidirectional serial interface. This interface can also be used to transmit transparent data.
Tamper Detection and Motion Detectors
The VideoJet X40 SN 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 SN, stored on the computer's hard drive or displayed in a separate browser window.
Recordings
Various local memory options enable the VideoJet X40 SN to be used as a digital VCR. The VideoJet X40 SN 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.

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.
CAUTION!
The settings in the advanced mode should only be processed or modified by expert users or system support personnel.
All settings are backed up in the VideoJet X40 SN memory so they are not lost even if the power fails.
