Hardware

This project uses the (*sigh*, discontinued) Bosch VideoJet VJE-X40 XF E. It has four analog video inputs. It monitors the analog video and digitizes/encodes it for streaming.

This machine uses three of them.

1. Overhead
2. R1
3. R2

Configuration Portal

The device uses DHCP by default. We configure it to use a static IP address on the Machine Network (192.168.208.75)

What is the default IP address?

The device has a web configuration portal. It should be on the Machine Network, and the default address is: http://192.168.208.75.

Encoder Parameters

We experienced a marked degradation in video quality (similar to image compression generation loss).

The workaround for this was to change a video encoding parameter, I-frame distance. The default value is 0 (automatic). When we set it to 1, the quality degradation was not pronounced. (Larger values may be better, but we didn't test them.)
