AXIS 250S MPEG-2 Video Server User’s Manual

This manual is intended for administrators and operators of the AXIS 250S MPEG-2 Video Server, and is applicable for firmware release 3.02. Later versions of the document will be posted to the Axis Web site, as required. Previous experience of networking will be of use to the reader when installing and using this product. Some knowledge of UNIX or Linux-based systems would also be beneficial, for developing custom programming scripts and applications.

The AXIS 250S MPEG-2 Video Server is a one-port MPEG-2 video server that allows real-time compression and transmission of DVD quality MPEG-2 video streams over a TCP/IP network (LAN). The video stream uses approximately a third of the bandwidth required by a Motion-JPEG stream.

The AXIS 250S includes all of the required networking connectivity for distributing analog video over the network. The built-in Web server provides its own application page for direct viewing of the video stream, as well as full web-based control of the management and configuration functions. All of this can be accessed from a browser over the network. TCP/IP, SMTP, HTTP and other Internet-related protocols are supported.

Features and Benefits
Complete & independent - The AXIS 250S runs independently of any other server and, apart from a camera and audio equipment, requires no other hardware. To view live video streams and configure the product over the network, all that is needed is Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher, Microsoft Media Player, and DirectX®. These components are all included with Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP. Please see page 12 for the exact versions required. Microsoft Media Player is used with the AXIS MPEG-2 Viewer (included) to view the video stream. The product includes one encoder and three decoder (viewing) licenses. TCP/IP, SMTP, HTTP and other Internet-related protocols are supported.

Superior Imaging - MPEG-2 hardware compression and transmission technology uses approximately 1/3 of the bandwidth required by a Motion-JPEG stream of comparative quality. The video stream can be viewed by up to 3 clients on a LAN and full frame rate (25/30 frames per second) is assured, provided that bandwidth is available. Available image resolutions are: 720×576 or 352×288 (PAL) and 720×480, 352×240 (NTSC). The bit rate is configurable. Support for high performance video cards with hardware acceleration on clients.
