6.9 Hardware Connections Between Video Servers
You can easily connect a VideoJet X20 with connected cameras as a sender, and a suitable
MPEG-4 compatible hardware decoder (for example VIP XD) with a connected monitor as a
receiver via an Ethernet network. In this way it is possible to cover long distances without the
need for major installation or cabling work.
6.9.1 Installation
Compatible video servers are designed to connect to one another automatically, provided they
are correctly configured. They only need to be part of a closed network. Proceed as follows to
install the units:
1. Connect the units to the closed network using Ethernet cables.
2. Connect them to the power supply.
6.9.2 Connecting
There are three options for establishing a connection between a sender and a compatible
receiver in a closed network:
an alarm,
a terminal program or
Internet Explorer.
6.9.3 Connecting on Alarm
With the appropriate configuration, a connection between a sender and a receiver is made
automatically when an alarm is triggered (see Section 5.22 Alarm Connections, page 61). After
a short time the live video image from the sender appears on the connected monitor.
This option can also be used to connect a sender and a compatible receiver using a switch
connected to the alarm input. You do not need a computer to make the connection in this
case.
i
NOTICE!
The sender and receiver must be located in the same subnet to establish a hardware
connection.
i
NOTICE!
Make sure that the units are configured for the network environment and that the correct IP
address for the remote location to be contacted in the event of an alarm is set on the Alarm
Connections configuration page (see Section 5.22 Alarm Connections, page 61).
i
NOTICE!
Connecting with a Web browser is described in the manual of the relevant unit that is to be
used as the receiver, for example VIP XD.
