Overview of functions
Network video server
The VIP 1000 is an ultra-compact network video server. Its primary function is to
encode and decode video, audio and control data for transmission over an IP
network. The VIP 1000 is particularly well suited to adapting analog cameras for
IP communication and for remote access to digital video recorders and
multiplexers.
About the size and shape of a cigarette packet, it can be integrated into small
enclosures without difficulty. The use of existing networks means that integration
with CCTV systems or local networks is quick and easy.
Two units, a VIP as the sender and another VIP as the receiver, can form a stand-
alone system for data transfer without a PC. Video images from one sender can
be received simultaneously on a number of receivers.
Receiver
VIP or VideoJet units from VCS can be used as receivers. Computers with
decoding software such as VIDOS from VCS or Microsoft Internet Explorer can
also be used as receivers.
Video encoding
The VIP 1000 works with the MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 video compression
standards.
Due to the efficiency of encoding using MPEG-2, the data rate remains low even
with high image quality and can also be adapted to local conditions within wide
limits. MPEG-4 enables data transfer at narrow bandwidth – via Internet for
example.
Dual streaming
Dual streaming allows the incoming data stream to be encoded simultaneously
according to two different, individually customizable profiles. This creates two
data streams that can serve different purposes, for example one for local
recording and one optimized for transmission via the LAN.
