Bosch Security Systems | 2006-03 | V2.0 Product description
VIP X1600 | Installation and Operating Manual EN | 13
Overview of functions
Network video server
The VIP X1600 is a network video server for up to 16 independent video chan-
nels in four VIP X1600 modules. It is primarily designed for encoding video and
control data for transfer over an IP network. Audio signals can also be transmit-
ted to compatible units with the audio versions of the VIP X1600 modules.
The use of existing networks means that integration with CCTV systems or local
networks can be achieved quickly and easily.
The VIP X1600 offers a 2/3 D1 or 2CIF resolution at a complete image rate of
25 (PAL) or 30 (NTSC) images per second for up to 16 channels.
The VIP X1600 modules are designed for installing in the VIP X1600 base.
Installing the units is a quick and easy operation that does not require any addi-
tional tools. With the exception of the module in slot 1, all modules are hot swap-
pable and can be exchanged while the system is running.
Receiver
Compatible MPEG-4 enabled hardware decoders such as VIP XD can be used
as receivers. Computers with decoding software installed, such as VIDOS, or
computers with the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser can also be used
as receivers.
Video encoding
The VIP X1600 uses the MPEG-4 video compression standard. Thanks to effi-
cient encoding, the data rate remains low even with high image quality and can
also be adapted to local conditions within wide limits. In this manner, the simul-
taneous coding of all 16 video channels is supported.
Dual Streaming
Dual Streaming allows the incoming data stream to be encoded simultaneously
according to two different, individually customized profiles. This feature creates
two data streams per camera that can serve different purposes, for example one
for recording and one optimized for transmission over the LAN.

Product description Bosch Security Systems | 2006-03 | V2.0
EN |14 Installation and Operating Manual | VIP X1600
Multicast
In suitably configured networks, the multicast function enables simultaneous
real-time video transmission to multiple receivers. The UDP and IGMP V2 pro-
tocols must be implemented on the network for this function.
DVR
The VIP X1600 can be used as a digital video recorder for long-term recordings
in combination with an iSCSI server. For this, the iSCSI server can be connected
directly or via the network.
Remote control
For remote control of external units such as pan or tilt heads for cameras or
motorized zoom lenses, control data is transmitted via the bidirectional serial
interface. This interface can also be used to transmit transparent data.
Tampering recognition and motion detectors
The VIP X1600 offers a wide range of configuration options for alarm signaling
in the event of tampering with the connected cameras. An algorithm for detecting
movement in the video image is also part of the scope of delivery and can option-
ally be extended to include special video analysis algorithms.
Snapshots
Individual video images (snapshots) can be called up from the unit, stored on the
computer's hard drive or displayed in a separate browser window in JPEG for-
mat.
Backup
A function for storing the video images displayed on the hard drive of your com-
puter is available on the LIVEPAGE as well as on the RECORDINGS page.
Video sequences can be stored by means of a mouse click and can be redis-
played using the MPEG viewer supplied as part of the scope of delivery.

Installing in a switch cabinet
The VIP X1600 is set up for installing in a 19-inch rack. The necessary installa-
tion equipment is contained in the components supplied.
Caution
When installing in a switch cabinet, ensure that there is sufficient ventila-
tion for the unit. There must be at least 5 cm (1.97 in.) of free space to the
left and right of the unit and at least 10 cm (3.94 in.) at the rear.
The VIP X1600 generates heat during operation. During installation,
please note the maximum heat value of 205 BTU/h.
When mounting additional units, direct contact with the VIP X1600 is per-
mitted provided that the surface temperature of the adjacent units does not
exceed +50 °C (+122 °F).
When installing in a switch cabinet, ensure that the screw joints are free of ten-
sion and subject to as little mechanical stress as possible. Ensure that the unit
and the power supply units have sufficient grounding.

inet frame.
– Lift the VIP X1600 into the switch cabinet frame and insert the fastening
screws together with the washers.

screws are tight.
