Overview of functions
Network video server
The VIP X1600 is a network video server for up to 16 independent video chan-
nels in four VIP X1600 modules. It is primarily designed for encoding video and
control data for transfer over an IP network. Audio signals can also be transmit-
ted to compatible units with the audio versions of the VIP X1600 modules.
The use of existing networks means that integration with CCTV systems or local
networks can be achieved quickly and easily.
The VIP X1600 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 16 channels.
The VIP X1600 modules are designed for installing in the VIP X1600 base.
Installing the units is a quick and easy operation that does not require any addi-
tional tools. With the exception of the module in slot 1, all modules are hot swap-
pable and can be exchanged while the system is running.
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 X1600 uses the MPEG-4 video compression standard. Thanks to effi-
cient encoding, the data rate remains low even with high image quality and can
also be adapted to local conditions within wide limits. In this manner, the simul-
taneous coding of all 16 video channels is supported.
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 transmission over the LAN.
