Overview of functions

Network video server

The VIP X16 XF E encoder is a compact network video server for 16 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 H.264 format, the unit 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.

Video images from a single sender can be received simultaneously on multiple receivers.

Audio signals can also be transmitted from and to compatible units.

Dual Streaming

The VIP X16 XF E encoder uses the feature Dual Streaming to generate two independent

IP video streams per channel, both at full 4CIF resolution, the first stream with full frame rate and the second stream with lower frame rate. This allows viewing and recording at two different quality levels to save disk space and bandwidth.

F.01U.281.864 | V2 | 2012.12

Installation Manual Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH

VIP X16 XF E System overview | en

Video encoding

The VIP X16 XF E High Profile encoder uses the H.264 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.

Audio encoding

The VIP X16 XF E encoder uses the G.711, AAC, and L16 audio compression standards. G.711 is the default setting for live transmission. For recording the default setting is AAC. When configuring with a Web browser, you can select your preferred standard for recording. Using video management systems, this is also true for live audio.

Viewing

View the VIP X16 XF E encoder video on a PC using a Web browser or Bosch Video Client, in the Bosch Video Management System, or integrate it into another video management system.

By routing the IP video to a high-performance VIP XD HD video decoder you can present the video with ultimate clarity.

Recording

You can record each video input independently on different media. Thus video can be recorded centrally on iSCSI drives managed by VRM Video Recording Manager.

The encoder features a highly flexible recording scheduler, providing up to ten programmable recording profiles and allowing individually assigned camera profiles. With these profiles, you can accelerate the frame rate as well as increase the quality on alarm, saving recording space during non-alarm periods.

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.

Access security

The VIP X16 XF E encoder offers various security levels for accessing the network, the unit, and the data channels. As well as password protection with up to three levels, they support

802.1x authentication using a RADIUS server for identification. You can secure Web browser access by HTTPS using a SSL certificate that is stored in the unit. For total data protection, each communication channel—video, audio, or serial I/O—can be independently AES encrypted with 128-bit keys, once the Encryption Site License has been applied.

Remote control

For remote control of external units such as pan or tilt heads for cameras or motorized zoom lenses, control data is transmitted via the encoder's bidirectional serial interface. This interface can also be used to transmit transparent data.

Intelligence

VIP X16 XF E comes with built-in MOTION+ video motion detection. This motion detection algorithm is based on pixel change and includes object size filtering capabilities.

On alarm, VIP X16 XF E can send an e-mail with JPEG images attached.

ONVIF conformance

Conformance to ONVIF 1.02 and ONVIF Profile S provides interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer. In addition, the firmware of the device supports all applicable features of the ONVIF 2.2 specification.

Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH Installation Manual F.01U.281.864 | V2 | 2012.12

10

en | System overview VIP X16 XF E

ONVIF conformant devices are able to exchange live video, audio, metadata, and control information and ensure that they are automatically discovered and connected to network applications such as video management systems.
