Overview of functions

Network video server

The VIP X2 is an ultra-compact network video server for two connected video sources. It is primarily designed for encoding video and control data for transfer over an IP network. With its encoding in the MPEG-4 format, the VIP X2 is ideally suited for making existing analog CCTV cameras IP-compatible and for remote access to digital video recorders and multiplexers.

The VIP X2 is small enough to be easily integrated into small housings as well. The use of existing networks means that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be achieved quickly and easily.

Two units, a VIP X2 as a sender and a VIP XD as a receiver for example, can create a standalone system for data transfer without a PC. Video images from a single sender can be received simultaneously on multiple receivers. The audio version of the VIP X2 also allows the transmission of audio signals from and to compatible units.

Receiver

Compatible MPEG-4 enabled hardware decoders (such as VIP XD) can be used as receivers. Computers with decoding software installed, such as VIDOS, or computers with the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser can also be used as receivers.

Video encoding

The VIP X2 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 per camera that can serve different purposes, for example one for local recording and one optimized for transmission over the LAN.
