Preface

Congratulations on your purchase of the Hirschmann VIP multimedia LAN

adapter.

The VIP multimedia LAN adapters provide connectivity for video, audio

and data sources over Ethernet networks using the TCP/IP protocol. The

units are available as encoder units VIP - VTx, featuring a video input for

connection of video sources as cameras for example, or as decoder units

VIP - VRx, providing a video output for direct connection of a monitor.

VIP allows for transport of video, accompanying audio (optional) and

data over Intranets or the Internet.

Purpose

This manual describes the features of the VIP unit and provides installation

and configuration instructions. When discussing features, functions, or

specifications that apply to both encoder and decoder models, the man-

ual refers to the VIP unit.

Audience

To configure and install the VIP units, you should have the following back-

ground and experience:

•Working knowledge of basic network management concepts and

terminology.

•Working knowledge of tools and procedures for installing and opera-

ting sensitive electronic equipment.

CHAPTER 1 Introduction

For the first time, VIP realizes live video transmission via existing computer

networks. Efficient compression, according to the ITU-T standard H.261,

enables video communication over virtually any TCP/IP connection: local

area networks as well as the Internet (wide area network).

Simply configure an IP address using a standard terminal program or any

Internet Browser and connect VIP to the Ethernet. That’s all the installation

required.

This chapter will familiarize you with the underlying concept of the VIP mul-

timedia gateway, will provide an overview of the features and will give

examples of typical applications. After an introduction to the front and

back panel connectors, you are in a good position to follow the installation

and configuration details given in the succeeding chapters.

Multimedia Gateway Concept

Continuous media such as video and audio are meant to be transported

over dedicated lines, for example coaxial cables. With computer networks

becoming ubiquitous and under the umbrella of the Internet, there is a

trend to integrate all sorts of data types into computer networks. This trend

is driven by the request for a single network, yielding significant savings in

reduced costs and simpler installation and management of a single net-

work.

Video over IP Manual

The VIP multimedia gateway was designed, to integrate multimedia data

streams into computer networks based on Ethernet and the TCP/IP proto-

col suite. VIP combines state-of-the art compression technology with ease-

of-use, enabling you to transmit full color live video with accompanying

full-duplex audio and data over standard Ethernet-type networks.

VIP comes in two flavors, as a VIP - VTx sender or as a VIP - VRx receiver.

The sender will connect any PAL or NTSC video source to the computer net-

work. Conversely, the receiver will display the video on any standard PAL or

NTSC monitor. Alternatively, video is received via the VIP -SW1 or VIP -SW1

software decoder (see separate datasheet) on any PC in the network.

Remote control of peripheral components like pan/tilt/zoom cameras is

facilitated by the bidirectional serial interface. Transmission of full duplex

audio is an option.

From the user’s perspective, video sources such as cameras, are identified

by IP addresses, just like any other equipment connected to a computer

network. As shown in Figure 1, there are 3 choices for display of remote

video streams:

•Web Browser using any PC on the network

•VIP -SW1 or VIP -SW1 software application

•VIP - VRx hardware receiver and attached monitor

Typical Applications

VIP provides a set of advanced features for remote video surveillance and

security: the integrated motion video sensor will setup a connection auto-

nomously when motion in the scene is detected. Pre-alarm history is stored

in a video ring buffer for alarm verification:

•Video surveillance of rooms and buildings

•Remote maintenance of machinery

•Facility management and facility security

Features and Benefits

VIP is a flexible, high-performance, easy-to-use device that provides a

cost-effective solution for transmission of live video and audio across Ether-

net networks. With a minimum of setup, you can install and use VIP within

minutes to realize a great variety of applications. The versatility and perfor-

mance of VIP is highlighted by the following list of features:

•Live video, audio, and data transmission over computer networks

(Ethernet, TCP/IP)

•Compact autonomous system, no PC required at the sender side

•Easy to use: integrated HTTP server for Browser-based configuration

and display of JPEG-encoded video

•High quality, full-motion, full-color live-video, ITU-T H.261 standard

compatible

•High video resolution up to 352 x 288 pixels at 25 frames/s (max.)

•Sender and receiver units available

Introduction 11

•Reception and playback via VIP -SW1 or VIP -SW1 software decoder

•Transparent full-duplex data channel (RS232), e.g. for pan/tilt/zoom

camera control

•Full-duplex audio transmission (optional)

•Control input for external sensors, e.g. switch or contact

•Relay output for switching of external devices, e.g. door entry

•Password protection against unauthorized access

•Integrated video motion sensor for security applications

•Video ring buffer for pre-alarm history

•Autonomous connection setup

•Automatic sending of alarm email messages with attached picture

•Remote control of all internal functions via UDP/IP

•Flash memory for firmware upgrade

•Optional X.21 leased line interface

Summarizing, VIP enables you to use any existing data network for trans-

mission of live video and audio. The use of existing networks yields signifi-

cant savings in terms of installation (no separate cabling required), toll-free

operation (Intranets), and management (single uniform network).
