The group has introduced a new switch platform in the rack-mount base unit that accommodates multichannel video and audio encoder modules as well as the new VIP X1600 XFMD decoder modules.
Other enhancements provide a greater choice of network connectivity and inside-rack cabling is now easier, says Bosch.
Encoder and decoder modules can be mixed and matched within the base unit and the modules are also “hot swappable”, allowing modules to be added or exchanged at any time without interrupting transmission to the existing channels.
The web-based interface, using drag and drop functions, features an on-screen autoconnect switch that allows the system configuration to be stored and automatically re-established in the event of a power cut or network failure.
