Overview of functions
Network video server
The VIP X2 is an ultra-compact network video server for two connected video
sources. It is primarily designed for encoding video and control data for transfer
over an IP network. With its encoding in the MPEG-4 format, the VIP X2 is ide-
ally suited for making existing analog CCTV cameras IP-compatible and for
remote access to digital video recorders and multiplexers.
The VIP X2 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, a VIP X2 as a sender and a VIP XD as a receiver for example, can
create a standalone system for data transfer without a PC. Video images from a
single sender can be received simultaneously on multiple receivers. The audio
version of the VIP X2 also allows the transmission of audio signals from and to
compatible units.
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 X2 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 per camera that can serve different purposes, for example one
for local recording and one optimized for transmission over the LAN.
