Bosch X1 XF-E high quality H264 encoder

The X1 XF-E is the latest addition to the VIP family of single channel H264 encoders that delivers the same encoding functionality as its big brother but does not include an intelligent video analytics capability.

This makes it suitable for upgrading analog systems or adding IP functionality to analog cameras in areas where great image quality yet no automated detection is needed.

Delivering two independent high-quality, real-time H264 video streams per channel, the encoder allows viewing and recording at two different quality levels. Its H264 main profile also delivers DVD image quality video (4CIF) at the same bandwidth as MPEG-4 half resolution video (2CIF).

Low latency implementation of main profile technology offers all the compression benefits for live video, without sacrificing image quality. Direct to iSCSI network recording and support for Video Recording Manager eliminates the need for network video recorders. An SD card for local recording, together with the company’s automatic network replenishment support ensures that video is recorded even during network outages.

Fully ONVIF 1.02 conformant, the VIP-X1 XF-E can be integrated into existing systems. Integrated Motion+ technology detects any attempts to tamper with the camera view. It also has a single audio and alarm input/output and is supplied with a wall mount.
