3.3 Overview of Functions

Network Video Server

The VideoJet X20 is a compact network video server for two 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 X20 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 X20 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.

The VideoJet X20 features industrial standard, robust equipment and is therefore equally suited to stationary as well as mobile use in rail or other vehicles.

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 X20 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 X20 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.
