Overview of functions
Network video server
The VIP X16 XF E encoder is a compact network video server for 16 connected video sources.
It is primarily designed for encoding video, audio and control data for transfer over an IP
network. With its encoding in the H.264 format, the unit is ideally suited for making existing
analog CCTV cameras IP-compatible and for remote access to digital VCRs and multiplexers.
The use of existing networks means that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can
be achieved quickly and easily.
Video images from a single sender can be received simultaneously on multiple receivers.
Audio signals can also be transmitted from and to compatible units.
Dual Streaming
The VIP X16 XF E encoder uses the feature Dual Streaming to generate two independent
IP video streams per channel, both at full 4CIF resolution, the first stream with full frame rate
and the second stream with lower frame rate. This allows viewing and recording at two
different quality levels to save disk space and bandwidth.
