Chapter 3 Product Description
VideoJet 10 13
Overview of functions
Network video server
The VideoJet 10 is a network video server. Its primary function is to encode and
decode video, audio and control data for transmission over an IP network. The
use of existing networks means that integration with CCTV systems or local
networks is quick and easy.
Via the CompactFlash interface the device can be integrated seamlessly into any
wireless LAN using a corresponding card.
Two units, a VideoJet 10 as the sender and another VideoJet 10 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 VideoJet 10 works with the MPEG-4 video compression standard. 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.
Multicast
In suitably configured networks, the multicast function enables simultaneous, real
time video transmission to multiple receivers. The prerequisite for this is that the
UDP and IGMP V2 protocols be implemented on the network.
