10 SYSTEM OVERVIEW Video Insight v6.3 allows users to add and record up to 2458 different IP cameras at once while maintaining the ease of use func 医쟮 onality that our customers have come to expect from a Video Insight soware solu 医쟮 on. The following pages will help guide you through the setup and installa 医쟮 on process. S 꾜䃣 Ã 겆愾 Ã C Ãꎲк 겆愾 Ã 꾜䃣 The Video Insight soware suite has three main components used to monitor live and recorded video; the VI Monitor, Web Client and VI Mobile. These three clients can be used to connect to the IP Server at no addi 医쟮 onal charge. VI Monitor VI Monitor is the primary User Interface for the Product Suite. It provides centralized viewing of all live and recorded video from any server to the end user. VI Monitor also provides the camera configura 医쟮 on menus for System and Security Administrators. VI Mobile VI Mobile is a free app available in the App Store for ios users and Google Play for Android users. VI Mobile gives users access to live and recorded video as well as access to Facility Maps. Web Client The Web Client accesses IP Server via IIS. It can be accessed from any browser applica 医쟮 on and has an op 医쟮 onal Ac 医쟮 ve X control for Internet Explorer. The Web Client has access to live and recorded video and can access Facility Maps. The Web Client can also create clips and download recorded video. In this document, we will explain and focus on the VI Monitor 6.2 component exclusively. Visit our website to explore other product areas such as VI Mobile and Web Client. Page Video Insight Inc.

One instance of VI Monitor or VI Mobile can communicate with mul 医쟮 ple servers for the same user interface. The Web Client connects to the server via Microso IIS. IIS can run on each server or a single IIS server can support all Web Clients. The Server is the hub of the Video Insight IP Video Management Soware (VMS) product. The Video Insight IP Server communicates directly with the cameras and the Clients, provides storage, and runs the SQL database. Storage op 医쟮 ons are limitless as they are customizable depending on the chosen server size or a variety of storage op 医쟮 ons. The SQL server database saves all configura 医쟮 on, mo 医쟮 on, and system logs. Page Video Insight Inc.

12 C 꾊욂 Ā 겆愾 Ã Aꎲкꎲк 꾊욂 Āማ筁ÃÃĀ 꾜䃣 The Video Insight Client Applica 医쟮 ons connect directly to the IP Server, not to the cameras or the database, requiring you to only forward three TCP ports for remote access. The Client applica 医쟮 ons can be used to view live and recorded video from a single or mul 医쟮 ple IP Servers. S 겆愾픻頡 ᓀ䐻 겆愾픻頡 Ã 떞 SÃ 픻頡 Ã 겆愾 IP Server IP Server supports over 2500 different camera models from 90 different camera manufacturers. It runs as a Windows Service and supports both x86 and x64 Windows environments. IP Server connects directly to the cameras and can record the video locally or write directly to NAS or SAN devices. Storage The amount of storage needed is determined by the bit rate of each camera and how much of that will need to be saved. For example, a 1.3 Megapixel camera set at 10 FPS, can be configured to stream video at 1.5 Mbits/sec and if the camera is recording mo 医쟮 on at 50% of the 医쟮 me, then we can es 医쟮 mate we need 7 GB of storage per day. Access the VI Storage Calculator at hp:// insight.com/support/calc/calc.php Video Insight supports all storage that Windows can address. In addi 医쟮 on to the size of the storage, it's necessary to confirm the storage system can handle the amount of video otherwise video can be lost when the storage is overloaded. To calculate the maximum storage throughput we must assume all cameras will write simultaneously and add up all camera bitrates. Since most storage systems refer to their maximum simultaneous write speeds in megabytes, divide the total camera traffic by 8 to convert it to MB. For example, let's assume you have 100 cameras that will stream at 3Mbits/sec or a total of 300Mbits and we expect them to record 50% of the 医쟮 me. The storage system must be able to write 37.5 MB/sec at its maximum. Video Insight has developed a storage speed test to confirm your system s capability. Page Video Insight Inc.

13 VI M ĀÃ 픻頡 The VI Monitor has three core func 医쟮 ons; live monitoring, viewing past history, and to act as a centralized management point for configuring and op 医쟮 miza 医쟮 on of all IP Servers connected to it.

98 Hardware Decoding Support The Hardware Decoding Feature will ensure the best streaming performance with large resolu 医쟮 on cameras such as 4K images. To enable for live and playback streaming, users must have a supported onboard Intel HD Graphics Card 2nd, 3rd, and 4th genera 医쟮 on Intel Core processor based plaꐎ orm. If a separate graphics card is installed in addi 医쟮 on to the on board Intel graphics card, navigate to the system's BIOS to set the separate graphics card as primary display, and get both separate graphics card (i.e. HDMI connec 医쟮 on) and on board intel graphics card (i.e. VGA connec 医쟮 on) connected to the primary monitor. Check with the Intel Download Center to get the correct driver for the on board Intel graphics card if not already present and installed. For servers that support the H.264 Hardware Decoder Accelerator, a new op 医쟮 on will under Machine Performance will appear. If connected properly, IP Server will detect if the onboard video card installed supports the hardware accelera 医쟮 on and u 医쟮 lize it if available.

You are welcome to redistribute this software and to use it for any purpose, subject to the conditions under LEGAL ISSUES, below. Serious users of this software (particularly those incorporating it into larger programs) should contact IJG at jpeg info@uunet.uu.net to be added to our electronic mailing list. Mailing list members are notified of updates and have a chance to participate in technical discussions, etc. This software is the work of Tom Lane, Philip Gladstone, Jim Boucher, Lee Crocker, Julian Minguillon, Luis Ortiz, George Phillips, Davide Rossi, Guido Vollbeding, Ge' Weijers, and other members of the Independent JPEG Group. IJG is not affiliated with the official ISO JPEG standards committee.

Please read at least the files install.doc and usage.doc. Useful information can also be found in the JPEG FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) article. See ARCHIVE LOCATIONS below to find out where to obtain the FAQ article. If you want to understand how the JPEG code works, we suggest reading one or more of the REFERENCES, then looking at the documentation files (in roughly the order listed) before diving into the code. OVERVIEW ======== This package contains C software to implement JPEG image compression and decompression. JPEG (pronounced "jay peg") is a standardized compression method for full color and gray scale images. JPEG is intended for compressing "real world" scenes; line drawings, cartoons and other non realistic images are not its strong suit. JPEG is lossy, meaning that the output image is not exactly identical to the input image. Hence you must not use JPEG if you have to have identical output bits. However, on typical photographic images, very good compression levels can be obtained with no visible change, and remarkably high compression levels are possible if you can tolerate a low quality image. For more details, see the references, or just experiment with various compression settings. This software implements JPEG baseline, extended sequential, and progressive compression processes. Provision is made for supporting all variants of these processes, although some uncommon parameter settings aren't implemented yet. For legal reasons, we are not distributing code for the arithmetic coding variants of JPEG; see LEGAL ISSUES. We have made no provision for supporting the hierarchical or lossless processes defined in the standard. We provide a set of library routines for reading and writing JPEG image files, plus two sample applications "cjpeg" and "djpeg", which use the library to perform conversion between JPEG and some other popular image file formats. The library is intended to be reused in other applications. In order to support file conversion and viewing software, we have included considerable functionality beyond the bare JPEG coding/decoding capability; for example, the color quantization modules are not strictly part of JPEG decoding, but they are essential for output to colormapped file formats or colormapped displays. These extra functions can be compiled out of the library if not required for a particular application. We have also included "jpegtran", a Page Video Insight Inc.

112 utility for lossless transcoding between different JPEG processes, and "rdjpgcom" and "wrjpgcom", two simple applications for inserting and extracting textual comments in JFIF files. The emphasis in designing this software has been on achieving portability and flexibility, while also making it fast enough to be useful. In particular, the software is not intended to be read as a tutorial on JPEG. (See the REFERENCES section for introductory material.) Rather, it is intended to be reliable, portable, industrial strength code. We do not claim to have achieved that goal in every aspect of the software, but we strive for it. We welcome the use of this software as a component of commercial products. No royalty is required, but we do ask for an acknowledgement in product documentation, as described under LEGAL ISSUES. LEGAL ISSUES ============ In plain English: 1. We don't promise that this software works. (But if you find any bugs, please let us know!) 2. You can use this software for whatever you want. You don't have to pay us. 3. You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use it in a program, you must acknowledge somewhere in your documentation that you've used the IJG code. In legalese: The authors make NO WARRANTY or representation, either express or implied, with respect to this software, its quality, accuracy, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. This software is provided "AS IS", and you, its user, assume the entire risk as to its quality and accuracy. This software is copyright (C) , Thomas G. Lane. All Rights Reserved except as specified below. Permission is hereby granted to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software (or portions thereof) for any purpose, without fee, subject to these conditions: (1) If any part of the source code for this software is distributed, then this README file must be included, with this copyright and no warranty notice unaltered; and any additions, deletions, or changes to the original files must be clearly indicated in accompanying documentation. (2) If only executable code is distributed, then the accompanying documentation must state that "this software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group". (3) Permission for use of this software is granted only if the user accepts full responsibility for any undesirable consequences; the authors accept NO LIABILITY for damages of any kind. Page Video Insight Inc.

113 These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on the IJG code, not just to the unmodified library. If you use our work, you ought to acknowledge us. Permission is NOT granted for the use of any IJG author's name or company name in advertising or publicity relating to this software or products derived from it. This software may be referred to only as "the Independent JPEG Group's software". We specifically permit and encourage the use of this software as the basis of commercial products, provided that all warranty or liability claims are assumed by the product vendor. ansi2knr.c is included in this distribution by permission of L. Peter Deutsch, sole proprietor of its copyright holder, Aladdin Enterprises of Menlo Park, CA. ansi2knr.c is NOT covered by the above copyright and conditions, but instead by the usual distribution terms of the Free Software Foundation; principally, that you must include source code if you redistribute it. (See the file ansi2knr.c for full details.) However, since ansi2knr.c is not needed as part of any program generated from the IJG code, this does not limit you more than the foregoing paragraphs do. The Unix configuration script "configure" was produced with GNU Autoconf. It is copyright by the Free Software Foundation but is freely distributable. The same holds for its supporting scripts (config.guess, config.sub, ltconfig, ltmain.sh). Another support script, install sh, is copyright by M.I.T. but is also freely distributable. It appears that the arithmetic coding option of the JPEG spec is covered by patents owned by IBM, AT&T, and Mitsubishi. Hence arithmetic coding cannot legally be used without obtaining one or more licenses. For this reason, support for arithmetic coding has been removed from the free JPEG software. (Since arithmetic coding provides only a marginal gain over the unpatented Huffman mode, it is unlikely that very many implementations will support it.) So far as we are aware, there are no patent restrictions on the remaining code. The IJG distribution formerly included code to read and write GIF files. To avoid entanglement with the Unisys LZW patent, GIF reading support has been removed altogether, and the GIF writer has been simplified to produce "uncompressed GIFs". This technique does not use the LZW algorithm; the resulting GIF files are larger than usual, but are readable by all standard GIF decoders. We are required to state that "The Graphics Interchange Format(c) is the Copyright property of CompuServe Incorporated. GIF(sm) is a Service Mark property of CompuServe Incorporated." REFERENCES ========== We highly recommend reading one or more of these references before trying to understand the innards of the JPEG software. Page Video Insight Inc.

114 The best short technical introduction to the JPEG compression algorithm is Wallace, Gregory K. "The JPEG Still Picture Compression Standard", Communications of the ACM, April 1991 (vol. 34 no. 4), pp (Adjacent articles in that issue discuss MPEG motion picture compression, applications of JPEG, and related topics.) If you don't have the CACM issue handy, a PostScript file containing a revised version of Wallace's article is available at ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/wallace.ps.gz. The file (actually a preprint for an article that appeared in IEEE Trans. Consumer Electronics) omits the sample images that appeared in CACM, but it includes corrections and some added material. Note: the Wallace article is copyright ACM and IEEE, and it may not be used for commercial purposes. A somewhat less technical, more leisurely introduction to JPEG can be found in "The Data Compression Book" by Mark Nelson and Jean loup Gailly, published by M&T Books (New York), 2nd ed. 1996, ISBN This book provides good explanations and example C code for a multitude of compression methods including JPEG. It is an excellent source if you are comfortable reading C code but don't know much about data compression in general. The book's JPEG sample code is far from industrial strength, but when you are ready to look at a full implementation, you've got one here... The best full description of JPEG is the textbook "JPEG Still Image Data Compression Standard" by William B. Pennebaker and Joan L. Mitchell, published by Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1993, ISBN Price US$59.95, 638 pp. The book includes the complete text of the ISO JPEG standards (DIS and draft DIS ). This is by far the most complete exposition of JPEG in existence, and we highly recommend it. The JPEG standard itself is not available electronically; you must order a paper copy through ISO or ITU. (Unless you feel a need to own a certified official copy, we recommend buying the Pennebaker and Mitchell book instead; it's much cheaper and includes a great deal of useful explanatory material.) In the USA, copies of the standard may be ordered from ANSI Sales at (212) , or from Global Engineering Documents at (800) (ANSI doesn't take credit card orders, but Global does.) It's not cheap: as of 1992, ANSI was charging $95 for Part 1 and $47 for Part 2, plus 7% shipping/handling. The standard is divided into two parts, Part 1 being the actual specification, while Part 2 covers compliance testing methods. Part 1 is titled "Digital Compression and Coding of Continuous tone Still Images, Part 1: Requirements and guidelines" and has document numbers ISO/IEC IS , ITU T T.81. Part 2 is titled "Digital Compression and Coding of Continuous tone Still Images, Part 2: Compliance testing" and has document numbers ISO/IEC IS , ITU T T.83. Some extensions to the original JPEG standard are defined in JPEG Part 3, a newer ISO standard numbered ISO/IEC IS and ITU T T.84. IJG currently does not support any Part 3 extensions. Page Video Insight Inc.

115 The JPEG standard does not specify all details of an interchangeable file format. For the omitted details we follow the "JFIF" conventions, revision A copy of the JFIF spec is available from: Literature Department C Cube Microsystems, Inc McCarthy Blvd. Milpitas, CA phone (408) , fax (408) A PostScript version of this document is available by FTP at ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jfif.ps.gz. There is also a plain text version at ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jfif.txt.gz, but it is missing the figures. The TIFF 6.0 file format specification can be obtained by FTP from ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff/tiff6.ps.gz. The JPEG incorporation scheme found in the TIFF 6.0 spec of 3 June 92 has a number of serious problems. IJG does not recommend use of the TIFF 6.0 design (TIFF Compression tag 6). Instead, we recommend the JPEG design proposed by TIFF Technical Note #2 (Compression tag 7). Copies of this Note can be obtained from ftp.sgi.com or from ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/. It is expected that the next revision of the TIFF spec will replace the 6.0 JPEG design with the Note's design. Although IJG's own code does not support TIFF/JPEG, the free libtiff library uses our library to implement TIFF/JPEG per the Note. libtiff is available from ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff/. ARCHIVE LOCATIONS ================= The "official" archive site for this software is ftp.uu.net (Internet address ). The most recent released version can always be found there in directory graphics/jpeg. This particular version will be archived as ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz. If you don't have direct Internet access, UUNET's archives are also available via UUCP; contact help@uunet.uu.net for information on retrieving files that way. Numerous Internet sites maintain copies of the UUNET files. However, only ftp.uu.net is guaranteed to have the latest official version. You can also obtain this software in DOS compatible "zip" archive format from the SimTel archives (ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/graphics/), or on CompuServe in the Graphics Support forum (GO CIS:GRAPHSUP), library 12 "JPEG Tools". Again, these versions may sometimes lag behind the ftp.uu.net release. The JPEG FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) article is a useful source of general information about JPEG. It is updated constantly and therefore is not included in this distribution. The FAQ is posted every two weeks to Usenet newsgroups comp.graphics.misc, news.answers, and other Page Video Insight Inc.

116 groups. It is available on the World Wide Web at faq/ and other news.answers archive sites, including the official news.answers archive at rtfm.mit.edu: ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/jpeg faq/. If you don't have Web or FTP access, send e mail to mail server@rtfm.mit.edu with body send usenet/news.answers/jpeg faq/part1 send usenet/news.answers/jpeg faq/part2 RELATED SOFTWARE ================ Numerous viewing and image manipulation programs now support JPEG. (Quite a few of them use this library to do so.) The JPEG FAQ described above lists some of the more popular free and shareware viewers, and tells where to obtain them on Internet. If you are on a Unix machine, we highly recommend Jef Poskanzer's free PBMPLUS software, which provides many useful operations on PPM format image files. In particular, it can convert PPM images to and from a wide range of other formats, thus making cjpeg/djpeg considerably more useful. The latest version is distributed by the NetPBM group, and is available from numerous sites, notably ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/graphics/graphics/packages/netpbm/. Unfortunately PBMPLUS/NETPBM is not nearly as portable as the IJG software is; you are likely to have difficulty making it work on any non Unix machine. A different free JPEG implementation, written by the PVRG group at Stanford, is available from ftp://havefun.stanford.edu/pub/jpeg/. This program is designed for research and experimentation rather than production use; it is slower, harder to use, and less portable than the IJG code, but it is easier to read and modify. Also, the PVRG code supports lossless JPEG, which we do not. (On the other hand, it doesn't do progressive JPEG.) Page Video Insight Inc.

117 FILE FORMAT WARS ================ Some JPEG programs produce files that are not compatible with our library. The root of the problem is that the ISO JPEG committee failed to specify a concrete file format. Some vendors "filled in the blanks" on their own, creating proprietary formats that no one else could read. (For example, none of the early commercial JPEG implementations for the Macintosh were able to exchange compressed files.) The file format we have adopted is called JFIF (see REFERENCES). This format has been agreed to by a number of major commercial JPEG vendors, and it has become the de facto standard. JFIF is a minimal or "low end" representation. We recommend the use of TIFF/JPEG (TIFF revision 6.0 as modified by TIFF Technical Note #2) for "high end" applications that need to record a lot of additional data about an image. TIFF/JPEG is fairly new and not yet widely supported, unfortunately. The upcoming JPEG Part 3 standard defines a file format called SPIFF. SPIFF is interoperable with JFIF, in the sense that most JFIF decoders should be able to read the most common variant of SPIFF. SPIFF has some technical advantages over JFIF, but its major claim to fame is simply that it is an official standard rather than an informal one. At this point it is unclear whether SPIFF will supersede JFIF or whether JFIF will remain the de facto standard. IJG intends to support SPIFF once the standard is frozen, but we have not decided whether it should become our default output format or not. (In any case, our decoder will remain capable of reading JFIF indefinitely.) Various proprietary file formats incorporating JPEG compression also exist. We have little or no sympathy for the existence of these formats. Indeed, one of the original reasons for developing this free software was to help force convergence on common, open format standards for JPEG files. Don't use a proprietary file format! TO DO ===== The major thrust for v7 will probably be improvement of visual quality. The current method for scaling the quantization tables is known not to be very good at low Q values. We also intend to investigate block boundary smoothing, "poor man's variable quantization", and other means of improving quality vs file size performance without sacrificing compatibility. In future versions, we are considering supporting some of the upcoming JPEG Part 3 extensions principally, variable quantization and the SPIFF file format. As always, speeding things up is of great interest. Please send bug reports, offers of help, etc. to jpeg info@uunet.uu.net. Page Video Insight Inc.
