Overview of functions

Network video server

The VideoJet is a network video server. It serves primarily for encoding and decoding video, audio and control data for transfer via an Ethernet LAN. By using existing networks, the VideoJet permits the simple installation and configuration of CCTV systems.

Two VideoJet devices, the transmitter VideoJetes and the receiver VideoJetee, can form a stand-alone System for data transfer without PC. The system can be extended to include further receivers so that video sequences from one transmitter can be received by several receivers simultaneously.

Receiver The corresponding VideoJet devices or computers with installed decoding software, for example PROVIDo from VCS, or with installed Microsoft Internet Explorer can always be used as receiv-ers.

Multicast function The VideoJet supports the standard H.323 and is thus compa-tible with many video-conferencing systems. Thanks to efficient encoding, the data transmission rate remains low, even with maxi-mum image quality and 30 images/s; furthermore, it can be adapted over a wide range to meet the local requirements.

Product description

15VideoJet

In appropriately configured networks, the multicast function permits the simultaneous video transmission in real time to several recei-vers. A precondition for multicast mode is a multicast-compatible network using the UDP protocol and the IGMP protocol. Other group management protocols are not supported.

Remote control For remote control of external equipment, e.g. pan-and-tilt heads for cameras or motorised zoom lenses, the control data are trans-mitted via the bidirectional serial interface of the VideoJet . This interface can also be used for the transmission of transparent data.

Configuration The VideoJet can be configured with a browser via the local net-work (intranet) or via the internet.

Firmware updates and the quick uploading of device configurations are possible in the same way.

Audio option In addition to the basic units, VideoJetes and VideoJetee, the devices VideoJetesa and VideoJeteea are also available. With these servers it is possible to also transmit audio data (e.g. from an intercom system) in addition to video transmission. The server transmits audio data bidirectionally and parallel to the video data.

Installation 4Thanks to its compact design, the VideoJet is ideally suited for installation in very confined spaces, such as in cable trenches or camera housings.

Please observe the following installation conditions:

Do not install the VideoJet in the immediate vicinity of radia-tors or other sources of heat. Avoid installing the VideoJet where it is exposed to direct sunlight.

Ensure sufficient space for laying the cables.

Ensure adequate ventilation of the VideoJet.

For all cable connections, use only the supplied or suitable cables which also prevent any electrical interference, where necessary.

Lay and install all cables in such a way that they cannot be damaged and ensure sufficient strain relief.

Attention!

The unit is designed for operation indoors. Choose a site for instal-lation which ensures that the server is exposed to neither extreme temperatures nor extreme moisture or humidity. The ambient tem-perature must lie between +5 and +40 °C, the relative humidity must not exceed 80%.

During operation, the server generates a great deal of heat. There-fore ensure sufficient ventilation and an adequate distance to heat-sensitive equipment or objects.

Installation

Connections

Camera/monitor Depending on the device model used, you can connect a video source (VideoJetes and VideoJetesa) or a monitor (VideoJetee and VideoJeteea) to the IPCom. All cameras and video sources generating a standard PAL or NTSC signal and all monitors suitable for standard PAL or NTSC video signals can be used for this purpose.

Connect a camera or other video source to the BNC jack VIDEO-IN of the transmitter using a video cable (75 Ohm, BNC connector),

or

Connect a monitor to the BNC jack VIDEO-OUT of the receiver using a video cable (75 Ohm, BNC connector).

Network connection

You can connect the VideoJet either directly or via a hub to a 10/100 BASE-T network. Use a standard cable UTP Category 5 with RJ45 connectors for this connection.

Connect the network cable to the ETHERNET/UTP jack.

Alarm inputs,peripheral equipment

The alarm input of the VideoJet serves to connect external alarm generators, e.g. door contacts or sensors. With appropriate config-uration, an alarm generator can, for example, trigger the automatic connection set-up between the VideoJet and the remote station. You can connect switches or NO contacts directly without a sepa-rate power supply.

The VideoJet has a relay output for switching external devices, e.g. lights or alarm sirens. This control output can be used interac-tively during an active connection with the VideoJet. Furthermore with appropriate configuration, the control output can activate, for example, an alarm siren in response to an alarm signal.

35VideoJet

Video settings

Video quality Picture quality: (transmitter only)You can set the quality of the video reproduction. A compromise has to be found here between optimum image sharpness and a quick reproduction of movements in the image.

If you attach importance to a high image refresh rate, the quality of the image (sharpness) deteriorates with increasing movement in the field of view of the camera (unsharp, distortions). If you prefer sharp and clear images, this results in a reduction in the frame rate in the event of movements in the image.

If movements are only to be expected in a small area of the image, you can give preference to the sharpness. The intelligent compres-sion process is then able to refresh the areas of the image con-cerned in the case of spatially limited movements. The unchanged rest of the image will be reproduced with the optimum sharpness.

With high bandwidths in the local network (above 200 kbit/s), you can work with maximum picture quality without the refresh rate decreasing noticeably.

Resolution: (transmitter only)You can choose between high (CIF) and low (QCIF) video resolu-tion.

The Common Intermediate Format (CIF) supports a local reso-lution of 288 lines × 352 pixels. This is the resolution used in the standard setting.

The format Quarter CIF (QCIF) offers the resolution 144 lines × 176 pixels.

Choice of the lower resolution can be expedient if you give prefer-ence to a high frame rate over a high video resolution.

Max. transmit data rate: (transmitter only)Here you can define the maximum limit for the transmission rate and the data rate for the ActiveX receivers of your browser on the transmitter side. This value relates only to the video transmission rate (without audio and protocol). The receivers can log into the transmitter with a lower or with the same data rate.

In streaming mode, this value indicates the data transmission rate of the streamed video. Select a video transmission rate between 10 kbit/s and 1 Mbit/s.

Bandwidth receive: (receiver only)Here you define the upper limit for the transmission rate. Select a transmission rate between 10 kbit/s and 1 Mbit/s. This value relates only to the video transmission rate (without audio and protocol).

Video configuration

Input source: (transmitter only)Select Camera if a camera is connected as video source as this setting provides better image information. Select VCR to compen-sate any problems of synchronisation fluctuations of the recorder if a video recorder is connected as video source.

Alarm settings

On this page you can configure the behaviour of the VideoJet in the event of an alarm and the alarm triggering events.

Alarm Sources You can select and activate the sources for alarms. In the event of an alarm, the symbol corresponding to the alarm source is dis-played white in the video image.

Video loss alarm: (transmitter only)The input signal from the camera is monitored. If no signal is received, the VideoJet triggers the alarm.

Motion alarm: (transmitter only)The VideoJet has an integrated video sensor which is able to record changes in the video signal on the basis of image process-ing. These changes are mainly initiated by motion in the field of vision of the camera. The sensitivity of the video sensor can be adjusted so that an alarm is only triggered after exceeding a preset threshold.

Select On to trigger an alarm in the event of movements. Select Off if you do not wish to permit a motion alarm.


42 VideoJet

Motion Detection (transmitter only)You can select the image areas to be monitored by the video sen-sor. The video image is divided into 242 square cells. You can acti-vate or deactivate every one of these cells. For example, if you want to exclude certain areas in the field of vision of the camera from the monitoring because there's continuous motion in that area (trees in the wind), deactivate the corresponding cells.

In order for the video sensor to function, the following conditions must be satisfied:

The motion detection must be activated.

At least one cell must be activated.

The sensitivity must be set to a value greater than zero.

Click on the button Configuration to open the window for configu-ration of the video sensor.

Click with the left-hand mouse key in the cells you wish to activate. The activated cells are displayed in red.

Click on the button Select All to monitor the whole video image, or

click on the button Clear All to deactivate the selected cells and to start the selection again.

Set the sensitivity by moving to the slide controller with the mouse key depressed to the desired position.

Click on Set to terminate the settings and to close the window.

Attention!

Light reflections (e.g. in glass facades) or changes in light due to individual clouds in bright daylight can result in undesirable reac-tions of the video sensor and thus in false alarms. Carry out suffi-cient tests to ensure the correct function of the video sensor.

For surveillance of indoor areas, ensure a constant lighting of the areas during the day and at night.


43VideoJet

Alarm input 1:The external sensor connected to the alarm input is monitored. If the sensor is tripped, an alarm is triggered.

Select On to activate the alarm triggering via the external sensor. Otherwise select Off. You can specify for the alarm input whether the alarm is triggered by the voltage level active high or active low.

Connections on Alarm

You have the possibility of setting the behaviour of the VideoJet in the event of an alarm.

For example, in the event of an alarm a connection can be automa-tically set up to a predetermined IP address (VideoJet receiver or PC with receiver software).

Alternatively alarm statuses can also be documented by e-mail. A receiver who does not have a video reception device can thus also be informed. In this case, an e-mail with an attached JPEG image is sent to a predetermined e-mail address.

Connect on alarm:Select On to automatically set up a connection to a predetermined IP address. Otherwise select Off.

Live video receiver IP address:Enter here the IP address to be notified in the event of an alarm.

Remote password:If applicable, enter the password to get access to a transmitter unit.

Live video auto-connect:Select On if at each restart, e.g. after a connection breakdown or network failure, an active connection is to be automatically set up to the IP address defined above. Otherwise select Off.

Send alarm e-mail:Select On to send an alarm e-mail in the event of an alarm.

Alarm e-mail address:Enter the e-mail address for the alarm e-mails.


44 VideoJet

Relay configuration

You can configure the switching behaviour of the relay output. You can assign the relay the function of an NC contact (closed at zero current) or an NO contact (open at zero current).

Furthermore you can specify whether the output reaction is to be bistable or monostable. In bistable mode, the triggered status of the relay is maintained. In monostable mode, you can set the time after which the relay is to return to its non-activated state.

You can select various events for the output which automatically activate the output. It is thus possible, for example, to switch on a floodlight when a motion alarm is triggered and to switch off the floodlight again at the end of the alarm.

Relay action Idle state:Select Open if the relay is to function as an NO contact or Closed if the relay is to function as an NC contact.

Operating mode:Select an operating mode for the relay.


45VideoJet

If a floodlight activated by an alarm is to remain switched on at the end of the alarm, select Bistable. If a siren triggered by an alarm is to sound for a period of 10 seconds, select Monostable 10s.

Relay follows:If necessary, select a particular event which is to trigger the relay. The following events are possible as triggers:

Motion alarm: Triggering by motion alarm

Input pin: Triggering by external alarm sensor

Video loss: Triggering by video signal alarm

Connection: Triggering at each connection set-up

Remote input pin: Triggering by switching contact of the remote station

None: No relay triggering by events

Relay Operation Trigger relay:Use the button Operate to switch the relay by hand (e.g. for test purposes or to actuate a door opener).


46 VideoJet

Interface settings

Transparent data interface

In order that the data exchange with controllable devices can take place correctly via the serial interface, the parameters for this inter-face have to be set according to the requirements. The range of devices with can be controlled with the VideoJet (e.g. dome cam-era systems) is being constantly expanded. Information on installa-tion and device control can be obtained from the supplier of the con-trolled device..

Attention!

When installing and operating the device to be controlled, observe the corresponding documentation. It contains important safety notes and information on permissible applications.

Note

The transmission of transparent data is only possible when a video connection has been made.


47VideoJet

Baud rate:Select the value for the data transmission rate in bits/s.

Data bits:Select the number of data bits per character.

Stop bits:Select the number of stop bits per character.

Parity check:Select the type of parity check.

Control terminal interface

In order that the data exchange with a data terminal (PC and installed terminal program) can take place correctly, the parameters on both sides have to match.

Baud rate:Select the value for the data transmission rate in bits/s.

Data bits:Select the number of data bits per character.

Stop bits:Select the number of stop bits per character.

Parity check:Select the type of parity check.

Interface mode:The 9-pin sub-D connection TRANSP. DATA serves for camera or device control. However, the necessary RS485 protocol is not sup-ported by this connection. You may therefore have to switch over the interface.

Select on or buffered to switch over the interface. The interfaces TRANSP. DATA and CONTROL TERMINAL are switched over automatically. You can now, for example, connect a dome camera to the interface CONTROL TERMINAL via a protocol converter and control the camera remotely.


48 VideoJet

Service settings

With these settings, you can integrate the VideoJet into an exis-ting network.

Network settings IP address:Enter the desired IP address of the device here. The desired IP address must be valid for the network.

Subnet mask:Enter the corresponding subnet mask here if the device is to com-municate via a subnet.

Gateway IP address:Enter the corresponding IP address here if the device is to indepen-dently set up a connection from the local network. Otherwise the field can be left blank (0.0.0.0).

Attention!

If you change the IP address and transmit the new configuration to the VideoJet, the device can then only be selected via the new address.


49VideoJet

Mail server IP address:Enter the corresponding IP address here if the device is to use the e-mail function. Outgoing e-mails are transmitted via the entered address to the mail server. Otherwise the field can be left blank (0.0.0.0).

Mail reply IP address:Enter an e-mail address here if the device is to use the e-mail func-tion. The input informs the receiver of an e-mail about the sender. Otherwise the field can be left blank (0.0.0.0).

Multilink – Multicast

The parameters of this group are only valid for transmitters. In addi-tion to the 1:1 connection between one transmitter and one receiver (unicast), the VideoJet offers the possibility of receiving the sig-nals from a transmitter with several receivers simultaneously. This is performed either by duplicating the data stream in the transmitter and subsequent distribution to several receivers (multi-unicast) or by distributing a single data stream in the network proper to several receivers of a defined group (multicast).

Enable multilink H.323: (transmitter only)In multilink mode, the data stream is duplicated in the VideoJet or in the network (group IP). The data are encoded according to the H.323 standard and are thus compatible with other applications (e.g. MS NetMeeting).

Benefits of the H.323 coding are a higher data rate with a lower bandwidth in the network and a faster and more stable communica-tion thanks to the robust data protocol.

The VideoJet supports multilink mode with a maximum of 5 simultaneously connected receivers, whereby an audio voice link is only possible to the first receiver (the first connection set up).

Note

A precondition for multicast mode is a multicast-compatible network using the UDP protocol and the IGMP protocol. Other group management protocols are not supported.


50 VideoJet

The transparent data link is maintained by the first device as for the audio link, although the data connection is automatically torn down after 15 seconds inactivity and another device can exchange trans-parent data with the receiver.

For the multilink mode, the network does not have to be suitable for multicast operation, as the VideoJet is also multi-unicast compat-ible. The duplication of the data in the device requires a high com-puting power and could under certain circumstances lead to a dete-rioration in the image quality. In this case, you should reduce the data rate of the transmitter slightly.

With the setting Multilink On and Multicast group IP address = 0.0.0.0, the device operates in multi-unicast mode (copying the data streams in the device).

With the setting Multilink On and a valid Multicast group IP address, the device operates in multicast mode (duplication of the data streams in the network).

Enable multicast streaming: (transmitter only)During multicast streaming, the VideoJet sends a permanent data stream to the specified group IP address. No specific receiver is defined. Each receiver is thus able to receive the data. The trans-mission rate is determined purely by the transmitter and has to be set there. For this, a valid multicast group IP address must be set.

Multicast group IP address: (transmitter only)A precondition for the multicast mode in a multicast-compatible net-work is the establishment of a special IP address (class D address).

The network must support the establishment of a group IP address and the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP). The address range is from 224.0.1.0 to 238.255.255.255.

Multicast video port:The video port does not have to be configured manually and is shown here only for information for special applications.

Multicast audio port:The audio port does not have to be configured manually and is shown here only for information for special applications.
