VIPX1600 Series Description
The Bosch VIP X1600 XF is a modular, high performance CCTV video encoder system.
Each VIP X1600 XF is a 4 x 4 unit that accommodates up to four hot-swappable
modules, allowing modules to be added or exchanged at any time without
interrupting transmission to the other modules’ channels. The VIP‑X1600‑XFB base
system provides two 1 Gbps Ethernet ports on the front and an additional 1 Gbps
Ethernet port on the rear. This provides a greater choice of network
connectivity and allows for easier inside-rack cabling like, for example, direct
connection to an iSCSI storage array. This base system also features a 1 Gbps
small form-factor pluggable (SFP) slot on the front, for example, for an optical
transceiver to enable direct fibre connection to a remote network. For
applications not benefiting from these advanced features the VIP‑X1600‑B base
system is available that just provides two 1 Gbps Ethernet ports, one on the
front and one on the rear. The VIP X1600 XF H.264 main profile encoder modules
(VIP‑X1600‑XFM4A/XFM4B) deliver real-time H.264 compressed video over IP,
providing two independent streams per camera with full frame rate at best
quality for different purposes, like one stream for live viewing with lowest
delay while the second stream is optimized for requiring only little recording
space. In addition they are equipped with a hardware accelerator for VCA
functions, bringing “Intelligence-atthe-Edge” to the next level. A module
version supporting BILINX communication over coax cable is also available.
View the video on a PC using Bosch’s comprehensive video management system, with
or without Bosch’s IntuiKey keyboard. Alternatively, use a Web browser. These
high-performance, multi-channel devices with iSCSI Recording-at-the-Edge, offer
top-of-the-line Video-over-IP performance for CCTV today. Designed for
reliability, VIP X1600 XF features hot-swappable video modules, dual redundant
power supply inputs, and redundant network ports.
The Bosch VideoSDK provides the means to integrate VIP X1600 XF with other video
management systems.
VIPX1600 Series Functions
Flexibility
VIP X1600 XF supports external storage, either directly attached to the unit
(Recording-at-the-Edge), or across an IP network to a centralized network video
recorder (NVR). For Recording-at-the-Edge, attach an iSCSI RAID directly to VIP
X1600 XF, making the system’s recording performance wholly independent from the
network’s performance. The iSCSI RAID storage enables VIP X1600 XF to act as a
conventional DVR and stream high-performance live video across the network.
VIP X1600 XF supports the Bosch Video Recording Manager VRM, Bosch’s flexible
and scalable recording management software. It allows a flexible assignment of
recording space on camera level including load balancing and decent redundancy
features. Bosch VRM is available as stand-alone system or embedded into the
Bosch Video Management System.
Dual Streaming
The VIP X1600 XF encoder modules use Dual Streaming to generate two independent
IP video streams per channel if sufficient computational power is available.
This allows viewing and recording at two different quality levels to save disk
space and bandwidth. On alarm, they can send an e‑mail with JPEG images
attached.
Dual recording
You can record the streams independently on different media. Thus video can e.g.
be recorded centrally on iSCSI drives managed by VRM Video Recording Manager and
redundantly on the local media.
Recording profiles
The encoder modules feature 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 resolution on alarm, saving recording space during non-alarm
periods.
Access security
The VIP X1600 XF modules offer 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.
Intelligence
With built-in video content analysis, VIP X1600 XF encoder modules reinforce the
Intelligence-at-the-Edge concept where edge devices become increasingly
intelligent. The VIP X1600 XF encoder module comes with built-in MOTION+ video
motion detection. This motion detection algorithm is based on pixel change and
includes object size filtering capabilities and sophisticated tamper detection
capabilities. Bosch offers more advanced video content analysis (VCA)
applications with its Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA). A licensable option, it
bases the IVA algorithm on digital imaging technology that uses multi-level
image analysis of pixel, texture, and motion (trajectory) changes.
Viewing
View the VIP X1600 XF encoder module video on a PC using a Web browser, in the
Bosch Video Management System, or integrate it into another video management
system. By routing the IP video to a high-performance VIDEOJET decoder or a
monitor wall, you can present the video with ultimate clarity.
Easy upgrade
Remotely upgrade the VIP X1600 XF modules whenever new firmware becomes
available. This ensures up-to-date products, thus protecting investment with
little effort.
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.
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.
