3.3 Overview of Functions

Network Video Receiver with Quad View

The VIP XD is an ultra-compact network video receiver for simultaneous reception of up to four video streams. It is primarily designed for decoding video data after transfer over an IP network and for transmitting control data. When connected to a monitor and used in conjunction with compatible MPEG-4 video servers, the VIP XD is ideally suited for making existing analog CCTV systems IP-compatible.

The VIP XD 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, for example a VIP X1600 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. A VIP XD receiver can simultaneously receive up to four video streams from one or more compatible senders.

The audio version of the VIP XD also allows the transmission of audio signals from and to compatible units.

Sender

Compatible hardware encoders can be used as senders, for example VIP X1, VIP X1600 or VideoJet X40. Computers with installed VIDOS software are suitable for convenient connection of the required senders to the respective receivers.

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 XD 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.

Configuration

The VIP XD can be configured with a Web browser on the local network (Intranet) or via the Internet. Alternatively, you can perform the configuration using the Configuration Manager program, which is contained on the product CD included in the scope of delivery.

In the same way, firmware updates and fast loading of device configurations are possible.
