3.4 Overview of Functions
3.4.1 Network Video Server Housing
The VIP X1600 B base is a special housing for the installation of up to four standalone
modules. Encoder modules (senders), for the connection of up to four cameras each, and
decoder modules (receivers), for the connection of up to four monitors each, are available.
For example, a VIP X1600 B with four encoder modules can make up to 16 independent video
channels available. Combinations of encoder modules and decoder modules are also possible.
The use of existing networks means that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can
be achieved quickly and easily.
The modules are designed for installation in the VIP X1600 B base. Installing the units is a
quick and easy operation that does not require any additional tools. All modules are hot
swappable and can be exchanged while the system is running.
3.4.2 Network Interfaces
The integrated switch functionality of the VIP X1600 B base allows the ETH1 and ETH2
interfaces to be used alternatively, redundantly or for cascading other units.
3.4.3 Redundant Power Supply
The VIP X1600 B base allows one or two power supply units to be connected, thereby offering
the option of a monitored redundant power supply. In the event of power supply unit failure,
the VIP X1600 B can be supplied by the second power supply unit without interruption.
