Never attempt to connect the unit or the mains power supply to
any power network other than the one for which it was intended.
!
Use only appropriate and approved power supply units for the

plied with the
!
Do not open the housing of the power supply unit.
!
Disconnect the power supply unit from the mains power supply
and from all other devices if a fault occurs.
!
Install the power supply unit and the unit only in a dry place
protected against the elements.
!
If you are uncertain about the safe operation of the unit, shut it
down immediately and secure it to prevent any unauthorised
start-up. Safe operation is no longer possible, for example,
– if damage is visible to the unit or the cables,
– if the unit no longer operates correctly,
– if the unit has been exposed to rain or moisture,
– if objects have penetrated inside the unit,
– after long storage under improper conditions or
– after heavy demands during transport.
Have the system checked by VCS in such cases.

Safety information
Installation and operation
!
All applicable electrical codes and regulations must be observed
and followed at all times during the installation.
!
Before installing or operating the system, ensure that you have
read and understood the documentation for other equipment
connected to the unit, e.g. monitors or pan-and-tilt heads. These
contain important safety notices and information concerning permissible applications.
!
Perform only the installation and operating work described in this
manual. All other work beyond this may lead to injuries to persons and damage to the system or other equipment.
!
Ensure a secure footing whenever working in elevated positions
(e.g. under the ceiling, on masts, etc.). Use only safety ladders.
If necessary, use a safety harness or railings.
Attention!
Close to high frequency electromagnetic fields the audio output
signal of the
VideoJet
units may be distorted.
Repairs and maintenance
!
Never open the housing of the unit. The unit contains no parts
which you can repair or replace.
!
Never open the housing of the power supply unit. The power
supply unit contains no parts which you can repair or replace.
!
Ensure that only qualified, specialist personnel (electrical technicians) are permitted to carry out maintenance or repair work.

Overview of functions
Product description
Color camera
C 100
The IP camera
C 100
is a high-resolution color camera for professional use in CCTV systems. It has an integral video server for
encoding of the video and control signals for the transfer via an
C 100
Ethernet LAN. By using existing networks, the
permits the
simple installation and configuration of CCTV systems.
The camera's 1/3“ CCD offers a horizontal resolution of 470 (PAL)
resp. 480 (NTSC) lines. The camera is characterised by its exceptional dynamic range of more than 46 dB and its highly sophisticated backlight compensation. Interference with strong backlight
which causes under-exposure and extensive loss of detail with normal cameras is thus effectively eliminated.
The digital signal processor in conjunction with an intermediate
image memory allows the light sensitivity to be increased by up to
32 times, hence significantly extending its range of potential applications compared with standard cameras. The camera is therefore
extremely well-suited for use in environments with poor lighting
conditions or in extreme light situations (e.g. strong backlight from
floodlights or reflected sunlight).
All the camera parameters are conveniently set via the HTML
pages using an internet browser.
The maximum camera performance is obtained by using lenses
with DC-controlled iris which guarantee an optimum light-source
efficiency.
The main functions of the camera include:
!
DC iris control
!
Wide dynamic range
!
Automatic white balance
!
Electronic shutter
!
Backlight compensation
!
Automatic gain control (AGC)
!
Setting of the color saturation

Note
The maximum camera performance can only be obtained in
conjunction with the corresponding periphery. For optimum use of
the functions of the digital signal processor, the lens must have a
DC-controlled iris.

VideoJet 100
The
and the
VideoJet 400
are network video
servers. They serve primarily for encoding and decoding video,
audio and control data for transfer via an Ethernet LAN. By using
existing networks, the devices permit the simple installation and
configuration of CCTV systems.
VideoJet 100
The
is available in two versions, as transmitter and
as receiver.
VideoJet 400
The
is available in two versions, as a desktop device
with separate plug-in power pack and in a control cabinet version
with integral power pack. Whereas the desktop device is available
as a data server only for transmission of data, transmitting and
receiving of data are possible with the control cabinet version.
VCS 100series
Two
transmitter and a
devices, e.g. a
VideoJet 100
C 100
VideoJet 400
or a
as
receiver, can form a stand-alone
system for data transfer without PC. The system can be extended
to include further transmitters and receivers so that video
sequences from several transmitters can be received by several
receivers.
The corresponding
VideoJet 100
devices or the
VideoJet 400
(control cabinet version) or computers with installed decoding software, for example
VIDOS
from VCS, or with installed Microsoft
Internet Explorer can always be used as receivers.

Multicast function
Integral
multiplexer in the
VideoJet 400
Remote control
Configuration
All devices of the
VCS 100series
support the standard MPEG-4.
Thanks to efficient encoding, the data transmission rate remains
low, even with maximum image quality and 30 images/s; furthermore, it can be adapted over a wide range to meet the local requirements.
In appropriately configured networks, the multicast function permits
the simultaneous video transmission in real time to several receivers. A precondition for this is the implementation of the UDP and
IGMP protocols in the network.
VideoJet 400
The
is designed for the connection of four freely
selectable video sources (4× PAL or 4× NTSC). With the appropriate software on the receiver side, e.g.
VIDOS
from VCS or the
Microsoft Internet Explorer, four camera images can be viewed
simultaneously in this way.
For remote control of external equipment, e.g. pan-and-tilt heads or
motorised zoom lenses, the control data is transmitted via the bidirectional serial interfaces of the units. These interfaces can also be
used for the transmission of transparent data.
VCS 100series
The
units can be configured with a browser via the
local network (Intranet) or via the Internet. Firmware updates and
the quick uploading of device configurations are possible in the
same way.
Recording,
playback
VCS 100series
You can save live pictures recorded by the unit as files on the hard
disk of your computer. The video pictures are stored in MPEG
format and can, for example, be replayed with the VCS MPEG
Player included in delivery.
The RAM memory integrated in the unit serves as pre-alarm
memory. On this ring buffer video pictures are recorded as long as
there is no active connection to a receiver unit.
15
Product description
Snapshot
Backup
You can save an individual video picture (snapshot) on your computer’s hard disk, or call one up from the camera in JPEG format and
display it in a separate browser window.
You can transfer recordings made on the unit’s RAM to your computer and save them there as a backup. The video pictures are
stored in MPEG format and can, for example, be replayed with the
VCS MPEG Player included in delivery.
