Overview
Congratulations on your purchase of VBrick System's MPEG-4 video networking product.
VBrick Systems provides high-quality video and audio encoders and decoders. VBrick also
provides software decoding on any PC through StreamPlayer or StreamPlayer Plus software.
The result is video that can be obtained from any source—whether a live camera feed, DVD
or VCR—and sent over a network (or LAN). This video can then be decoded by a hardware
appliance or Set Top Box and displayed on a television monitor, or it can be decoded through
StreamPlayer Plus software and displayed on any PC connected to the same network. The
VBrick appliance is based on a modular platform that allows a variety of models consisting of
MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 compression algorithms along with optional network interfaces (such
as SDI, OC-3 ATM and hard drive for storage). This user guide is intended to cover all
models and provide instructions on initial setup and advanced parameter configuration.
VBSSM
VBrick Security and Surveillance Monitoring devices are video only—no audio. The VBSSM-
MP2 (MPEG-2) and VBSSM-MP4 (MPEG-4) encoders are ideal for security and surveillance
applications where full motion, high-quality video is required in a cost effective product. The
VBSSM is a compact, rugged and reliable video network appliance that supports temperature
ranges from -20 to 70°C. The VBSSM encoder accepts NTSC/PAL video, compresses it in
realtime and transmits the video digitally over an IP network. The video is then displayed on
TV monitors using numerous MPEG decoders, Set Top Boxes or on PCs through desktop
decoder software such as VBrick's StreamPlayer. VBSSM devices provide the following
features:
•
Full motion, high resolution DVD quality video.
•
IP Unicast or Multicast for streaming applications.
•
Integral web server for configuration and management.
•
Low delay encoding for end-to-end camera control - pan, tilt and zoom.
•
Utilizes Layer III QoS – Diff Serv for prioritizing video over IP networks.
•
Video encoding rates configurable from 8 Kbps to 15 Mbps.
•
Transport and Elementary stream support.
•
Optional – video camera with pan, tilt and zoom.
•
Optional – 19 in. rack mount adapter (holds two across).
