    VIP X1600 | Installation and Operating Manual EN | 17 Installation The VIP X1600 modules are solely intended for installing in the VIP X1600 base. Installing the units is a quick and easy operation that does not require any addi- tional tools.

  • Page 18: Installing Vip X1600 Modules

    Caution Do not install a VIP X1600 module in a different housing and do not operate the unit outside of the VIP X1600 base. The ambient temperature during in- stallation must be between 0 and +50 °C (+32 und +122 °F), and the relative humidity must not exceed 80% (non-precipitating).
  • Page 19 EN | 19 Rating plates Every VIP X1600 module has a label on the circuit board containing a printed MAC address by which the module can be uniquely identified. Take note of this MAC address and the location in the VIP X1600 base before installation so that you can later identify the module, even after it has been inserted, for example when performing fault diagnosis.

  • Page 22: Connections

    (see Video input, page 46). Data interface The bidirectional data interface of each VIP X1600 module is used to control the connected units, for example a dome camera with motorized lens. The range of controllable equipment is expanding constantly. The manufacturers of the rele- vant equipment can provide specific information on installation and control.
  • Page 23 Connection is via the terminal connector. See page 118 for the pin assignment. Audio connections The audio versions of the VIP X1600 modules contain two line inputs for a total of four mono inputs, which are automatically assigned to the four camera inputs.
  • Page 24 ETH 2 socket. Direct iSCSI connection You can connect the VIP X1600 directly to an iSCSI server via the ETH 2 inter- face. This connection is an alternative to using the second Ethernet interface as a redundant network connection. Use a UTP category 5 crossed patch cable with RJ45 plugs for a direct connection to an iSCSI server.

  • Page 25: Power On/Power Off

    EN | 25 Power on/Power off Power supply The VIP X1600 does not have a power switch. Power is provided once one or two power supply units have been installed.

  • Page 84: Multicasting

    Multicasting In addition to a 1:1 connection between an encoder and a single receiver (uni- cast), the VIP X1600 can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal from an encoder simultaneously. The device either duplicates the data stream itself and then distributes it to multiple receivers (Multi-unicast) or it sends a sin- gle data stream to the network, where the data stream is simultaneously distrib- uted to multiple receivers in a defined group (Multicast).
  • Page 85 (duplication of the data streams in the network). With the setting 0.0.0.0 the encoder for the relevant stream operates in multi-uni- cast mode (copying of data streams in the unit). The VIP X1600 module sup- ports multi-unicast connections for up to five simultaneously connected receiv- ers.
