Bosch Security Systems has expanded its family of IP network video products. The new VIP X series of video encoders and decoders offers DVD-quality realtime video that requires less than half the storage space of earlier models. These products are ideal for a wide range of security applications including highway management, transportation, correctional facilities, casinos, government, university and business campuses and large retail stores.
By increasing the maximum data rate of the VIP X series to 25 frames/second, its MPEG-4 video offers virtually the same quality as the more expensive MPEG-2 video yet requires less than half the bandwidth, reducing data storage needs and overall system costs. Users also have their choice of different frame rates, ranging from one to 25, to optimise bandwidth and storage space.
The VIP X series is part of a complete line of IP network video products for video and audio streaming, recording, playback and archiving. Each product integrates seamlessly with existing analog products and networks.
The new VIP X encoders deliver DVD-like picture quality. Because of their dual streaming capability they can provide two parallel digital video streams encoded with different video quality settings. The VIP X1 offers full motion video for a single camera, while the VIP X2 works with two cameras and offers greater convenience, cost-savings and ease of installation over one encoder for each camera. The VIP X2 is ideal for small installations. Both VIP X encoders also feature an ultra-compact design; fully interlaced video; alarm inputs and relay outputs; and pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) control.
Video can be received and displayed with a standard web browser or VIDOS video management software or on a bank of analog monitors using the new high performance VIP XD decoder. The decoder features a robust MPEG-4 engine to convert high quality digital, up to 25 frames/second, into analog for viewing.
