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.
