Overview

Congratulations on your purchase of VBrick System's MPEG-2 video networking product. VBrick Systems provides high-quality video and audio encoders and decoders. VBrick also provides software decoding on any PC through StreamPlayer or StreamPlayer Plus software. The result is video that can be obtained from any source—whether a live camera feed, DVD or VCR—and sent over a network (or LAN). This video can then be decoded by a hardware appliance or Set Top Box and displayed on a television monitor, or it can be decoded through StreamPlayer Plus software and displayed on any PC connected to the same network. The VBrick appliance is based on a modular platform that allows a variety of models consisting of MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 compression algorithms along with optional network interfaces (such as SDI and hard drive for storage). This user guide is intended to cover all models and provide instructions on initial setup and advanced parameter configuration.

Note The VBrick appliance consists of different hardware versions, distinguished by the last digit of the part number -xxx0 or -xxx1/-xxx2 (see Status: User Information > Main Board). When the part number is –xxx1/-xxx2 there can also be differences based on the PLX EEProm revision 1 or 2-and-higher (see Status: Encoder Status or Status: Decoder Status). Where differences occur, they are noted in the text.

VBSSM

VBrick Security and Surveillance Monitoring devices are video only—no audio. The VBSSM- MP2 (MPEG-2) and VBSSM-MP4 (MPEG-4) encoders are ideal for security and surveillance applications where full motion, high-quality video is required in a cost effective product. The VBSSM is a compact, rugged and reliable video network appliance that supports temperature ranges from -20 to 70°C. The VBSSM encoder accepts NTSC/PAL video, compresses it in realtime and transmits the video digitally over an IP network. The video is then displayed on TV monitors using numerous MPEG decoders, Set Top Boxes or on PCs through desktop decoder software such as VBrick's StreamPlayer. VBSSM devices provide the following features:

Full motion, high resolution DVD quality video.

IP Unicast or Multicast for streaming applications.

Integral web server for configuration and management.

Low delay encoding for end-to-end camera control - pan, tilt and zoom.

Utilizes Layer III QoS – Diff Serv for prioritizing video over IP networks.
