Glossary of Terms
258
pixels that change. This helps greatly reduce
the size of MPEG files. An I-frame is similar to
a keyframe.
Image Server
A service that handles access to the system
for remote users logging in with XProtect
Smart Client.
The Image Server service does not require
separate hardware as it runs in the
background on the surveillance system's
server. The Image Server service is not
configured separately but is configured
through the system's Management
Application.
IPIX
A technology that allows the creation and
viewing of panomorph Fisheye images.
J
JPEG
(Also JPG) Joint Photographic Experts
Group—widely used lossy compression
technique for images.
K
Keyframe
Used in the MPEG standard for digital video
compression, a keyframe is a single frame
stored at specified intervals. The keyframe
records the entire view of the camera,
whereas the frames between the keyframes
record only the pixels that change. This helps
greatly reduce the size of MPEG files.
M
MAC address
Media Access Control address—12-character
hexadecimal number uniquely identifying
each device on a network.
Manual events
You can generate an event manually from the
client. These events are called manual
events.
Master/Slave
A setup of servers where one server (the
master server) is of higher importance than
the remaining servers (the slave servers).
With a master/slave setup in your system,
you can combine several surveillance system
servers and extend the number of cameras
you can use beyond the maximum allowed
number of cameras for a single server.
In such a setup, clients still have a single
point of contact: they connect to the master
server but also get access, transparently, to
cameras and recordings on the slave servers.
Matrix
A feature that enables the control of live
camera views on remote computers for
distributed viewing. Once configured, you can
view Matrix-triggered live video in XProtect
Smart Client.
Matrix-recipient
A computer equipped with XProtect Smart
Client-software and therefore capable of
displaying Matrix-triggered live video.
MJPEG
Motion JPEG—compressed video format
where each frame is a separately compressed
JPEG image. The method used is quite similar
to the I-frame method used for MPEG, but no
interframe prediction is used. This allows for
somewhat easier editing, and makes
compression independent of the amount of
motion.
Monitor
1) A computer screen. 2) An application used
in previous versions of XProtect Professional
for recording and displaying video. The
Monitor application has been discontinued.
