3.3 Overview of Functions

Network Video Encoder

The VIP X1600 M4S encoder module is a network video server for up to four independent video channels. It is primarily designed for encoding video and control data for transfer over an IP network. The audio version of the module also allows the transmission of audio signals to compatible units. The use of existing networks means that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be achieved quickly and easily. The module offers a 2/3 D1 or 2CIF resolution at a complete image rate of 25 (PAL) or 30 (NTSC) images per second for up to four channels. Video images from a single sender can be received simultaneously on multiple receivers.

The VIP X1600 M4S encoder module is designed for installation in the VIP X1600 XF base. Installing the units is a quick and easy operation that does not require any additional tools. All modules are hot swappable and can be exchanged while the system is running.

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 VIP X1600 M4S encoder module uses the MPEG-4 video compression standard. 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 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 VIP X1600 M4S encoder module 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.
