Functional Description / Transport Protocol
1.1 Transport Protocol

The transport protocol for this remote control must be TCP. All VideoJets will establish a TCP listen socket
on port 1756. Any remote control must be sent to this port. Multiple RCP connections from the same
endpoints are allowed. The maximum number of RCP connections on a single endpoint is limited to 50
connections at the same time. Alternatively, a connection can be made using a HTTP tunnel. See this chapter
for details.
Remote Control ProtocolPlus Protocol Header Layout
Version 3 (VIP, VideoJet and VipX Series and VIP110Version 6.0 and higher). The RCP Plus protocol
header consists of 16 Bytes. The begin of the payload section is now on DWORD boundary.

Specifies the kind of the packet.
Values:
Request 0x00
Reply 0x01
Message 0x02
Error 0x03
Reserved
This byte is returned by the VideoJet unchanged. It is up to the user to setup a request ID here to assign
the replies to multiple pending requests.
Client ID
Each RCP client register results in a Client ID; this ID has to be provided in all following RCP commands.
Session ID
This ID is used for implementations which need to identify a once registered user in other applications or
RCP sessions.
Numeric Descriptor ID
The Numeric Descriptor specifies an attribute for components which are installed more than one time inside
the VideoJet, e.g. inputs or relays. The first component is always counted as 1. If this field is not applicable
to the command in this packet, a value of zero should be inserted.

Payload Length
The number of data bytes inside the payload section. The length field itself is not counted.

Functional Description / Packetizing in the TCP Stream
1.2 Packetizing in the TCP Stream

As TCP is a stream oriented protocol, packetizing information has to be inserted to achieve proper packet
reconstruction. For this purpose the TPKT structure is used.

Functional Description / RCP Protocol Procedure
1.3 RCP Protocol Procedure

Request / Reply
The VideoJet unit will send back a reply on each incoming request. In some protocol functions the reply
will carry no data.
Note: A reply from a write command which is not readable will be an

RCP_ERROR_READ_NOT_SUPPORTED (error code 0x90) This means that it is not possible to
determine correct setting of the command.
Messages
A message will be generated on the VideoJet on certain events (see RCP command for details). If an RCP
client is registered to receive a certain message (e.g. an input state has changed), the VideoJet will generate
it. The message has the same payload format as the response to a Read command of the same tag, except
the reserved byte. The reserved byte is used as sequence number.
RCP is capable of sending messages on certain events. Before an RCP client can receive these messages,
a registration at the VideoJet is necessary.
RCP Errors
The packet will have the standard layout with the method field set to ‘Error’. The first bytes of the payload
section contains error cause. If the error code is RCP_ERROR_COMMAND_SPECIFIC, then the command
specific error (see RCP command for details) is included in the second byte. The following generic error
codes are defined:
RCP_ERROR_INTERNAL 0x01
RCP_ERROR_INVALID_VERSION 0x10
RCP_ERROR_NOT_REGISTERED 0x20
RCP_ERROR_INVALID_CLIENT_ID 0x21
RCP_ERROR_INVALID_METHOD 0x30
RCP_ERROR_INVALID_CMD 0x40
RCP_ERROR_INVALID_ACCESS_TYPE 0x50
RCP_ERROR_INVALID_DATA_TYPE 0x60
RCP_ERROR_WRITE_ERROR 0x70
RCP_ERROR_PACKET_SIZE 0x80

Functional Description / RCP Protocol Procedure
RCP_ERROR_READ_NOT_SUPPORTED 0x90
RCP_ERROR_INVALID_AUTH_LEVEL 0xa0
RCP_ERROR_INVAILD_SESSION_ID 0xb0
RCP_ERROR_TRY_LATER 0xc0
RCP_ERROR_TIMEOUT 0xd0
RCP_ERROR_NO_LICENCE 0xe0 Used by NVR only
RCP_ERROR_COMMAND_SPECIFIC 0xf0
RCP_ERROR_ADDRESS_FORMAT 0xf1
RCP_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED_ON_THAT_PLATFORM
0xf2
RCP_ERROR_UNKNOWN 0xff
Note the error code 0xc0 RCP_ERROR_TRY_LATER indicates, that the VideoJet recognizes the
command, but it cannot be processed immediately. The client should repeat this command later.
A list of all defined command specific error codes can be found in the Appendix.

Functional Description / RCP over a HTTP tunnel
1.4 RCP over a HTTP tunnel

Many network installations includes firewalls to protect network segments against unauthorisized access.
In many cases, the HTTP port (80) is enabled by default to gain Internet access. For this purpose, RCP
offers a second network port. As the VideoJet has a built in webserver, the connection can be made to the
webserver, the token
GET /rcp_tunnel HTTP1.0\r\n\r\n
advices the webserver to pass this socket to the RCP server. From that point on, the client is connected to
the RCP server and can immediately cointinue with RCP registration.
Note: The delimiters '\r' and '\n' are written here in C notation; in the TCP packet to the server these delimiters
corresponds with the ASCII codes 0x0d and 0x0a.
Example:
• Establish a TCP connection to port 80 at your Videjet
• Send the string "GET /rcp_tunnel HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n" (as HEX string: 0x47 0x45 0x54 0x20
0x2f 0x72 0x63 0x70 0x5f 0x74 0x75 0x6e 0x6e 0x65 0x6c 0x20 0x48 0x54 0x54 0x50
0x31 0x2e 0x30 0x0d 0x0a 0x0d 0x0a)
• Proceed in the same manner as a normal RCP connection
Receiving media data
The VideoJet is capable for tunneling media data through HTTP. In some network environments this might
be helpful.
When using this mechanism, the connect primitive must set the "RTP over TCP" for the media encapsulation
protocol. The response for Media host and port can be ignored. After that, a TCP connection to the HTTP
port must be established. By sending the string
GET /media_tunnel/SSSSSSSS/CC/DD/LL/CO HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n
SSSSSSS The session ID returned from the connect primitive (padded with leading zeros
to 8)
CC The media type (see connect primitive; 01=video, 02=audio)
DD Direction of media (01=receive media, 00=transmit media)
LL The line input number
CO The relative coder number
When the HTTP server inside the VideoJet received this string, it passes this socket to the RCP. From that
point on, media data will be transferred over this socket using TPKT encapsulation (see chapter Packetizing
in the TCP Stream).
The coder numbers that have to be used to establish the media tunnels is a relative one that isn't unique when
using video as media type. The video and meta data can have the same relative coder number and have the
same media type. In that case the optional index parameter might be used to distinguish the media channels:
GET /media_tunnel/SSSSSSSS/CC/DD/LL/CO?index=n HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n

Functional Description / RCP over a HTTP tunnel
where n is the number of the initial connect primitive channel position starting at 1.
E.g the ConnectPrimitive request contains a Get Video, a Get Audio and a Get Meta section, then the index
for video would be 1, the index for audio 2 and the index for meta would be 3.
When all sockets of a session are in data sending mode, a RCP message MEDIA_SOCKETS_COMPLETE
with the associated session ID will be sent out to the initiator of the session. This is useful
when a session is used for replay; the replay PLAY command can securely be applied when the
MEDIA_SOCKETS_COMPLETE message has been arrived.

Functional Description / Autodetecting Devices
1.5 Autodetecting Devices

Bosch Security Systems products are being detected on a network using an IP broadcast to either the static
UDP port 1757 or to the configurable UDP discover port. The default port number for the configurable
discover port is 1800, and it can be modified with the RCP command CONF_DISCOVER_PORT (0x0976).
In addition to the possibility to send a scan request packet to the broadcast destination address of
255.255.255.255, the discover port of the devices listens for scan requests sent to the configurable multicast
group, which can be set by means of the RCP command CONF_AUTODETECT_REPLY_GROUP
(0x0956). The default multicast detect group is 225.86.67.83.
Devices generate and transmit their replies to an autodetect request with a random delay of up to 2 seconds.
When implementing your own detection software, please bear in mind that, when calculating the necessary
waiting period until all replies are received, additionally to the possible span of max 2 seconds, you need
to consider the time necessary to process the reply as well as the time the packet spends on the wire and in
propagation devices like switches or routers on its way to and back from the device to be detected.
The scanned devices send their replies either to the source IP address of the request, or to the broadcast
address 255.255.255.255. In case the source IP address of the request resides inside the same subnet, that
is defined by the scanned device's IP address and it's subnet mask, the reply is addressed to the source IP
address in the request. If the originator is not located in the same subnet as the scanned device, the reply
is addressed to the broadcast address 255.255.255.255. In case of a scan request sent to the device via the
multicast scan group, the reply is addressed to the same multicast group.
An autodetect scan request packet must consist of an autodetect request header, that may or may not be
preceeded by an RCP plus protocol header for command id CONF_RCP_AUTODETECT (0xffdc). In case
of an existing RCP plus protocol header in the scan request, the length field of the RCP plus protocol header
must contain the length of the autodetect request header.
The format for the autodetect request header as well as for the autodetect reply is shown below:

Optional Extension: Targeting Autodetect Scans at devices matching certain criteria

The autodetect process can be targeted at a certain group of devices identified by a defined criteria. This
sort of autodetect is device-wise only handled, when sent to the configurable UDP port, whose default port
number is 1800. It is not possible via the static autodetect port 1757. To perform a targeted autodetect scan,
an extension needs to be added to the usual autodetect scan command. For these targeted kinds of autodetect
scans, it is obligatory that the scan packet consists of an RCP plus protocol header, the autodetect request
header and the extension itself. The bytes of this extension are considered in the length field of a preceeding
RCP header.

Scan Extension Identifier

Scan Extension Identifier

The scan extension identifier determines the criteria that needs to be matched by the scanned devices in
order to reply to the request.
Currently the following

possible criteria are
defined:
MAC address 0x01
Size
The Size field of the extension informs about the number of bytes used in the extension. The number includes
the 4 bytes of the Scan Extension Identifier field, the 4 bytes of the Size field itself and the length of the
following payload in bytes.
In case of the MAC address extension, the Size field is followed by one or more MAC addresses of 6 bytes
length each. A scan extension limiting the autodetect scan to 2 devices, the size field of the scan extension
should contain a value of 20. (4 bytes Scan Extension Identifier + 4 bytes Length + 6 bytes first MAC
address + 6 bytes second MAC address)
Retrieving thumbnail JPEGs using the Autodetecting Broadcast
Mechanism
The Bosch Security Systems products support a mechanism that allows to retrieve thumbnail JPEGs via a
broadcast autodetect mechanism. The mechanism requires to send a UDP packet similar to the autodetect

scan packet to the configurable autodetect port of the device, whose default port number is 1800. The device
replies with a packet containing the thumbnail JPEG. The JPEG retrieval can not be accomplished via the
static autodetect port 1757.
Format of the request packet of an autodetect based JPEG request
The request packet triggering the autodetect based JPEG retrieval consists of an RCP plus protocol header
and an autodetect based JPEG request header, followed by a MAC list scan extension.
RCP plus protocol header
The RCP plus protocol header's command id field is set to 0x099e (CONF_JPEG). The data type field is set
to 0x0c (P_OCTET). The numeric descriptor field identifies the line of the targeted device, from which the
JPEG is to be retrieved. The length field of the request indicates the number of payload bytes and therefore
is to be set to the length of the autodetect based JPEG request header plus the length of the scan extension
(e.g. 12 bytes for autodetect based JPEG request header, 8 bytes for scan extension header and 6 bytes for
MAC address = 26 bytes).
Autodetect based JPEG Request Header
The first four bytes of the autodetect based JPEG request header consist of a static magic number, that is
always set to the values given in the table below. The sequence number given in the request is returned in
the reply, so that replies can be matched to the respective request.

0x4B 0xA5 0xC3 0x55
Sequence Number
4 Bytes
0x00 0x00 Reply Port

Sequence Number
This sequence number must be a randomized number.
Reply Port
Specifies the reply UDP port e.g. RP1 0x06; RP2 0xDE -> reply port: 1758
MAC list scan extension

The autodetect based JPEG request can only be targeted at selected devices. To announce the scope of
the request, extending the request packet by a MAC list scan extension, like it is defined in the chapter
"Autodetecting Devices" of this document, is obligatory. As the intended use of this JPEG retrieval
mechanism is limited to situations where the regular JPEG retrieval mechanisms (HTTP request for the
JPEG, RCP request of CONF_JPEG within a regular RCP+ client session, etc.) do not work, the MAC list
of the scan extension is limited to 1 MAC address, i.e. only one JPEG from one device can be retrieved
at a time.
Format of the reply packet to an autodetect based JPEG request

The reply packet to the request for an autodetect based broadcast JPEG consists of an RCP plus protocol
header and an autodetect based JPEG request header, followed by the JPEG data.
RCP plus protocol header
The RCP plus protocol header's command id field is set to 0x099e (CONF_JPEG). The data type field is
set to 0x0c (P_OCTET). The numeric descriptor field identifies the line of the targeted device, from which
the JPEG was retrieved. The length field of the reply indicates the number of payload bytes and therefore is
to be set to the length of the autodetect based JPEG request header plus the length of the JPEG thumbnail.
Autodetect based JPEG Request Header
The autodetect based JPEG request header in the reply is byte for byte a copy of the same header in the
respective request.
JPEG thumbnail
The JPEG thumbnail data follows the autodetect based JPEG request header.

Functional Description / Setting an IP Address using Broadcast Mechanism
1.6 Setting an IP Address using Broadcast Mechanism

If the current IP address of a device doesn’t match the subnet settings, this unit cannot be reached using
the standard Remote Control Protocol. All IP parameters of a VideoJet can be set using a UDP broadcast
message to port 1759.
This is supported for IPv4 broadcast 255.255.255.255

Functional Description / RCP over CGI
1.7 RCP over CGI

RCP+ command my also be encapsulated in CGI (Common Gateway Interface) using a standard web
browsers URL. All needed parameters are passed to the HTTP server of the video server which tunnels the
RCP+ commands to the RCP server. The reply returned is a text based XML structure.
The CGI interface may also be used by a HTTP client written from the scratch based on RFC 1945 (HTTP
1.0) using 'GET' method. The unit's HTTP server will only examine 'Connection: Keep-Alive' and optional
'Authorization: ' header fields. See RFC for implementing details.
Valid CGI parameters:
Command
The RCP+ command tag number
Data Type
Values:
See 'Data Types'
Direction
Values:
READ 0
WRITE 1
Num
The numeric parameter.
Payload
Values:
• The payload as readable string for payload type P_STRING
• The payload as octet array with no spaces preceeded with 0x for payload type P_OCTET
and P_UNICODE
• The payload value in hex or decimal notion for all other payload types
Optional CGI parameters:
idstring
User defined parameter which will not be processed by the unit; will return unchanged in the reply
sessionid
Context specific session ID for this command
Multiple parameters are passed in CGI manner with '&' in between two parameter-value pairs.

Example:
A sample request to readout the units hardware version will look
http://ip.ip.ip.ip/rcp.xml?command=0x002e&type=P_STRING&direction=READ
The reply XML structure will then have this format:
<rcp>
<command>
<hex>0x002e</hex>
<dec>46</dec>
</command>
<type>T_DWORD</type>
<direction>READ</direction>
<num>0</num>
<idstring />
<payload />
<result>
<hex>0xf0000f43</hex>
<dec>4026535747</dec>
</result>
</rcp>
The upper part contains the request, the <result> contains the reply. Numerical values are presented in <hex>
and <dec>, strings, unicodes and p_octet in <str> sections. <
Message handling
RCP+ messages will be processed and received by the CGI client using a poll mechanism. A CGI command
set with the requested messages command tag numbers need to be issued. After issuing a request, the reply
returns immediately after a message has been sent or the default timeout of 1000 ms has been expired.
When the timeout expires, a message count of 0 is returned. Otherwise the number of received messages
is signaled. The default timeout can be altered by setting the 'collectms' CGI value to the appropriate
number of milliseconds. In order to ensure correct assignment of messages in case several clients are polling
for messages or if a polling client uses different socket connections, a unique message domain ID (CGI
parameter 'msgdomainID') should be provided. Messages are then collected separately for each ID and can
be uniquely assigned to the polling client even if requesting via different socket connections.
Valid CGI commands to control messages:
Message
One or a list of requested message RCP+ command tag numbers separated by '$'
CollectMS
Time in milliseconds to collect messages before returning with 'No messages'; default is 1000 ms

MsgDomainID
Unique ID (maximum 4 Bytes) to identify a certain polling client and to e.g. ensure correct message
assignment to clients sending requests via different socket connections
The <msgcnt> section contains the number of veiled <msg> sections inside the reply.
A buffer mechanism (depth 64) ensures that no messages will be lost during two consecutive poll cycles.
The <over> sections counts the number of lost messages. <clip> signals too small internal buffers; this
should never occur.
The <poll> section counts the number of issued poll requests
A sample request to receive all connection related messages (CONF_CONNECT_TO) will look like
http://ip.ip.ip.ip/rcp.xml?message=0xffcc&collectms=5000
<message_list>
<msg>
<no>1</no>
<command>0xffcc</command>
<num>0</num>
<sessionID>0x7063001f</sessionID>
<hex>0xa00a0034000000000101000001010001</hex>
</msg>
<msg>
<no>2</no>
<command>0xffcc</command>
<num>0</num>
<sessionID>0x70630020</sessionID>
<hex>0xa00a0034000000000101000001010001</hex>
</msg>
</message_list>
Authentication
The RCP+ server needs proper authentication to process protected commands. The CGI interface provides
two basic authentication schemes to be used.
In this case, HTTP header authentication (basic or digest) must be present in the request. The internal HTTP
server will pass the granted authorization level to the RCP+ server.
For each successful HTTP authentication (for all available resources like html pages, images...) a session
cookie will be returned by the HTTP server. When this cookie is present in any further HTTP connections,
the same authorization level will be granted as for the originating connection. The session cookie will remain
active as long as at least one HTTP connection remains open. In this case the internal HTTP server will
pass the granted authorization level to the RCP+ server.
IPv6
For RCP commands which are defined as T_DWORD or P_OCTET and contain DWORD IP-Addresses
there is a extention to read or write also IPv6 adresses or Hostnames, e.g. URL:

http://ip.ip.ip.ip/rcp.xml?
command=0x0a1f&type=T_DWORD&direction=WRITE&payload=0x00000000&ip-
item0=fd00::55:77
or
http://ip.ip.ip.ip/rcp.xml?
command=0x0a1f&type=T_DWORD&direction=WRITE&payload=0x00000000&ip-
item0=MyHostname.de
where payload must contain a 4 byte index to the trailing list of ip-item0..ip-itemn
<rcp>
<command>
<hex>0x0a1f</hex>
<dec>2591</dec>
</command>
<type>T_DWORD</type>
<direction>READ</direction>
<num>0</num>
<idstring />
<payload />
<result>
<hex>0x00000000</hex>
<dec>0</dec>
<ip-table>
<item>
<idx>0</idx>
<type>IPV6</type>
<str>fd00::55:77</str>
</item>
</ip-table>
</result>
</rcp>
where payload contains a 4 byte index to the ip-table list for each address contained in the command.
If the command datatype is P_OCTET and the command does contain more IP-Adresses then the result will
contain multipe item blocks.
Alternative formats for the item blocks are also possible:
<item>
<idx>1</idx>
<type>IPV4</type>
<str>192.168.1.2</str>
</item>
<item>

<idx>2</idx>
<type>NAME</type>
<str>MyHostname.de</str>
</item>
If a list is supplied the ALL addresses MUST be in the list also in the case that they are IPv4 type

1.9 Extension for RCP+ commands

containing IPv6 addresses or host names
For transmitting IPv6 addresses or host names in RCP+ Commands there is a string table extension in
firmware version 5.50 and later. The layout of the RCP+ commands remains the same as it was in earlier
firmware versions and it is compatible to older clients as long as only IPv4 Addresses are transmitted. If
IPv6 Addresses are contained in the command then this extension has to be used.

Rules for using the table

• The "StringTable" extension is an option.
• If the RCP-Data contain any IP-Address which current(!) value is other than an IPv4 type
then the StringTable option must be used.
• If the RCP-Data does not contain any IP-Address which current(!) value is other than an
IPv4 type then the StringTable option should NOT be used to be compatible with older
firmware versions and with commands which might not (yet) support this feature.

• If the StringTable is used then:

• The string_table_avail flag must be set to 1 in the RCP+ Header
• All IP-values within "RCP-Data" must be stored in the string table (also when they are IPv4
values)
• The DWORD-field in "RCP-Data" (which normally would store the IPv4 value) has to
contain an offset-pointer to the location in the string table where the actual IP-Address-
value can be found. Offset has to be calculated from "Head of StringTable Header" to "Head
of StringTable Entry Header" in Bytes.
• There is only one StringTable allowed in an RCP+ Packet.
• The len field of the RCP+ Header must NOT include the size of the StringTable.
• The len field of the TPKT Header (Framing Header) MUST include the size of the
StringTable. (This means: RCP-Packet and StringTable are both content of the same TPKT
Packet)

Functional Description / RCP Command Notification
1.10 RCP Command Notification

A RCP client can register for a special message CONF_RCP_CMD_NOTIFICATION (0xff23) in order to
be informed when any other RCP+ command is written to the device.
The message is sent out at a frequency of maxium 100ms and contains the tag codes of all RCP+ commands
with the direction 'write' that have been processed by the device since the last message. If no RCP+ command
was written within this time, no message will be sent. Besides the tag codes the message contains some
more information about the commands as described below.
The payload of the message contains one or multiple elements of the following structure (one element for
each RCP command). The maxium number of elements is 32.

Description
This command can be used to limit the data traffic caused by backuped recording per line (num parameter
1 to n). This can be done by limiting the data rate and/or the speed in percent(100 percent means backup
speed like replay in normal speed), based on the time information of the video data. The backup can be
stopped completly, by sending a speed limit by 0 and continued again by sending a non zero speed later. It
cannot be stopped by the data rate, a value of 0 for the data rate means to disable the limit for the data rate.
The data rate parameter isn't applied immediately, but when the next backup starts.

Read p_octet user Get the backup recording status, see
Description
This command returns the backup recording status on a line, specified by the num parameter (1 ... n).
First it looks for a valid configuration of backup recording. Valid means, there exists a running recording
configured to record the life data and a second recording for backup, which copies the data from the life
data recording storage to it's recording storage on alarm or continuously. If both "rec idx life" and "rec idx
backup" are none zero, there is a valid configuration. Then the following fields inform about the status and
progress of the backuped recording. The utilization of the life data recording storage can be calculated in
percent with the equation: utilization = ("unbackuped MB" * 100)/("unbackuped MB" + "backuped MB" +
"free MB"). The status will be send as message, if the utilization will cross some thresholds. There are two
thresholds, the "All Clear" threshold and the "Warning" threshold. These thresholds can be configured with
the command CONF_BACKUP_RECORDING_STATUS_MSG_THRESHOLD (see rcp documentation).
Another reason for sending this message will be on deleting or overwriting of records, which had to be
backuped but weren't backuped before deletion, or were deleted while still within the maximum retention
time range. Every time this event happens, the lost counter will be incremented. This counter will count
since device boot.

Description
This command can be used to configure the buffered recording configuration mode. The default is the
manual mode, which is used for standard (single/dual) recording or manually configured buffered recording,
which means the primary and secondary recording will be setup to do buffered recording. In case of
buffered recording configuration mode, the device recording configuration will be changed internally to
an buffered recording setup. The recording will then be configured like a single primary recording via
recording profiles but internally the configuration is mapped to a coresponding buffered recording setup.
When set to this mode, the secondary recording isn't accessable anymore via recording profile configuration
(affected comands: CONF_HD_RECORD_PROFILE, CONF_HD_RECORD_PROFILE_V2,
CONF_HD_RECORD_PROFILE_SECONDARY, CONF_HD_PROFILE_V2_SECONDARY) and start/
stop configuration(affected commands: CONF_START_RECORD, CONF_START_SPAN_RECORD,
CONF_HD_MGR_START, CONF_HD_MGR_START_SECONDARY, CONF_HD_MGR_STOP,
CONF_HD_MGR_STOP_SECONDARY). When the mode is changed, the actual recording is stopped.

Tag 0: Optical Center

Defines the horizontal and vertical position of the optical axis of the lens within the sensor plane (full viewed
image) in the normalized coordinate system defined in the previous description. This will be called optical
center below.
An offset of (16384; 16384) therefore means that the optical center of the circular projection is horizontally
and vertically centered in the sensor image (should be the normal case).

Example
x;y = "16384;16384"
-> x = 16384, y = 16384 -> lens is centered
Tag 1: Lens transfer function

The lens curve is assumed to be rotation symmetric.
Specifices a tuple for a set of points (radius on the sensor, the same coordinate system is used as before and
a angle of incidence relativ to the optical axis).
Optimal interpolation between the points can be achived with natural splines.

For a radius bigger than the last point the behavoiur of the lens is undefined (should be masked out in black
on the client)

Read p_octet service
Description
The command CONF_CERTIFICATE supports the following operations:
• Upload a certificate optionally including its private key.
• Download a certificate or signing request from the device.
• Delete a certificate or signing request. A delete implicitly deletes an associated private key.
Each certificate/signing request/key is identified by a unique label. If a certificate has a matching private key
both have the same label. When the command fails it returns a command specific error code in the payload.
On upload the command supports the following file formats:
• PEM: PEM file format. With this format you can upload a certificate and a key at once. For
this you must set Certificate and Private Key bits in type tag.
• DER: Binary DER file format. For this file format you can only upload one type of content
and the type must be exactly specified in type tag.
• PKCS#12 or PFX: PKCS#12 (sometimes also called PFX) file format. This file format
carried information what is included, so you can upload certificate and key in one file. The
type tag does not matter when using this file format and can be set to certificate and key
or even be not provided.
On download the command currently only supports the PEM file format
You can also use this command to upload encrypted private keys as PEM, DER or PKCS12 file. To do this
you upload the file containing the encrypted key. The device stores the encrypted key internally and waits,
that the password is provided later with help of the CONF_CERTIFICATE_REQUEST command.
To delete a certificate/CSR or key you have to provide the following tags: Tag 0 with the label, tag 1 with
0, tag 2 with length 4 and no data and tag 3 with entry type 0xFF (delete).

Tag 12: Certificate Extension

Using this tag you can provide one X.509 certificate extension which should be added to a self signed
certificate or a certificate request (there the extension will be added as ExtensionRequest).
The extension must already be encoded in it's ASN.1 representation as defined for 'Extension' in RFC5280
chapter 4.1. This means a sequence containing an object identifier followed by a bitstring which contains
the extension specific payload.
The ASN.1 representation for the extension 'subjectAltName' with IPv4=192.168.2.1, IPv6=fd00::2:1 and
url=camera.de would e.g. be as follows: '30 2c 06 03 55 1d 11 04 25 30 23 87 04 c0 a8 02 01 87 10 fd 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 01 82 09 63 61 6d 65 72 61 2e 64 65'.
The ASN.1 structure is directly added to the certificate/certificate request, so the caller is responsible for
proper content of the extension which will be provided by this tag.
If this tag is missing no extension will be added. It can occur a maximum of 5 times.

Certificates in these usages are used
to verify certificates presented from the
external peer. These usage can contain
multiple certificates. The certificate needs
no private key on the device.

Command reference / CONF_CONNECT_PRIMITIVE

Descriptor Support
0xff0c None no no
Write p_octet live
Description
Each RCP client may have different media sources and media receivers. To connect these media channels, a
low level connect/disconnect primitive is implemented. These low level primitives can be grouped together
to more complex commands, which can connect more than one media channel at the same time. The
primitives are designed to be asserted by media sources or receivers itself. Manager software should use
the high level commands (see next chapter).
By sending a CONNECT GET to the remote endpoint, this endpoint will start sending media to the requested
address. For example, a VideoJet receiver is registered at a VideoJet transmitter. On sending a ‘CONNECT
GET video to port 1234’ to the transmitter, the transmitter starts to send video to the appropriate port at
the receiver. The endpoint requesting the media stream (the VideoJet receiver) must be prepared to receive
the stream from the network. The coding bits for video must be set according to the receivers capability to
decode the data stream. E.g. a Decoder capable of decoding MPEG2 and MPEG4 should set all these bits.
By sending a CONNECT PUT to the remote endpoint, the endpoint will prepare itself for receiving data
from the one initiating the request. For example, a VideoJet transmitter is registered at a VideoJet receiver.
On sending a ‘CONNECT PUT video to port 2222’ to the receiver, the receiver will prepare its network stack
to receive data from the appropriate port. The endpoint initiating the media stream (the VideoJet transmitter)
must start sending the media stream to the network. The coding bits for video must be set to a value suitable
to the current encoding parameters inside the VideoJet. E.g. if a video encoder is set to encode MPEG4,
only a PUT request having these bits set is accepted. The coder parameter is used to address a specific
encoder/decoder inside the VideoJet. As the VideoJet may have a Dual-stream feature, one physical line
input might be connected to more than one encoder. By setting a coder to another value than 0, the VideoJet
only tries this specific coder to establish a connection. When the coder value is set to 0, all coders inside the
system will be checked. Each connect primitive will result in a Session ID for maintaining and controlling
the media stream with other RCP commands. The Session ID can be treated as unique on the entire system.
By sending a DISCONNECT supplied with a valid Session ID, the receiver of the command will stop
sending/receiving to/from the media stream. The endpoint initiating the DISCONNECT command must
stop receiving/sending from/to the media stream.

Key data
The key payload
The media key is transferred using a sequence of key headers all with the method field set to 0xE0. The end
of the key section is marked by a header with less than 4 bytes (or zero) indicated in the bytes valid field.
The typical key length is 16 bytes (128 bit AES). In this case, four full key headers followed by one empty
header must be transferred (4 x 4 bytes valid + 1 x 0 bytes valid = 16 bytes). For backward compatibility,
the header method 0xE0 will be skipped by units with former firmwares versions. The key is located and
stored on each media source (using the CONF_CRYPT_KEY* commands); When the system is configured
to publish its keys (see CONF_PUBLISH_MEDIA_KEYS), then the media sources must fill in the secret
by sending (PUT method) or replying to (GET method) the connect primitive. For example, when sending
a GET connect primitive to a device and the key transport is selected, then the device will fill in its key in
the reply to the connect primitive.
Note: Be sure to use a secure RCP connection, the keys in the connect primitive are tranferred in plain

Description
This command is used for deleting spans of a specific recording line and index containing recordings
between a given time interval. The flag "delete enclodes spans only" chooses wether a span shall be deletet
if it is completetly enclosed by the time interval or if it only overlaps the interval. The flag "force delete" will
delete all spans of the cam independend of the state of the span. That means even if the cam is still recording
on a span, the span will be deleted. So use this option very carefully, as it could lead to inconsitencies. If the
command return successfully, it doesn't mean, that the deletion is completetd, it just tells the caller, that a
asychonous job for deletion was invoked. The command has to be send to the storage lun managing device.

Write p_octet service Set one or more parameters of an
encoder profile preset. Payload
is in tagged format, see detailed
description
Description
The format has a tagged structure. Each tagged entry consists of a length field, a tag ID and a payload.
Allows to read/write all relevant parameters of an encoder profile preset like resolution, skip, bandwidth,
etc... within one single command. In read direction all available tags are returned. In write direction just the
parameters/tags which should be changed need to be sent. So either one tag, several tags or all available
tags can be provided.
Each tag ID in this command represents the according RCP command which already exists to read/write
one of the encoder profile parameters individually. I.e. this command combines several individual RCP
commands within one command and provides the parameters as separate tags. The payload of the tag entries
corresponds to the related RCP command. For detailed information please check the documentation of the
according RCP command.

Description
This message reports the status and progress of a running format. The formatting includes the
creation of the FAT32 file system (step: HD_STEP_FORMAT_FS) and clearing of the span
header files(step: HD_STEP_CLEAR_SPAN_HEADER). The progress is reported about the whole
formatting. A successful format should always end with a message with 100 percent progress at
step HD_STEP_CLEAR_SPAN_HEADER and status should be HD_FORMAT_STATUS_FINISHED.
A failed format should finish with a status HD_FORMAT_STATUS_FAILED at any progress
and any step. After these final messages no futher messages will follow. The whole
formatting takes two steps HD_STEP_FORMAT_FS and HD_STEP_CLEAR_SPAN_HEADER. First
step HD_STEP_FORMAT_FS will run up to 90 percent and will end with a 90 percent
progress message and status HD_FORMAT_STATUS_FINISHED if successful. Then the last step
HD_STEP_CLEAR_SPAN_HEADER will follow from 90 to 100 percent and will also end with a
HD_FORMAT_STATUS_FINISHED status if successfull, which is also as mentioned earlier the final
success message. If the formatting runs with the option of disk erasing, The first step will be the
HD_STEP_ERASE_DISK step and will run upto 70 percent if successful.

Description
the message reports the status and progress of a running format. The formatting takes two steps that
is first formating FAT32 including creating the recording files and second copy the replay tools. The
progress is reported about the whole formatting. The status reports the state of each formatting step. A
successful format should always end with a message with 100 percent progress, step should be copy toolkit
and status should be HD_FORMAT_STATUS_FINISHED or HD_FORMAT_STATUS_SKIPPED if the
storage device is too small for recording (e.g. RAMDISK). A failed format should finish with a status
HD_FORMAT_STATUS_FAILED at any progress and step. After this final messages no futher message
will follow.

This command shows the state for a recording. It can be read and it will be send at state changes. State
changes are the change of rec state or rec preset only. Within the Msg there is no distiction between the state
OFF and NO RECORDING. That means no msg will be send on the state change between this two states.
The msg will never contain the state OFF but the read response maybe. OFF state means the recording
is configured to off by set it to stop. NO RECORDING can be caused by many things e.g. no recording
on the schedule, no storage present and so on. STAND BY means there is recording on the schedule but
not at the moment. The recording scheduler waits for the time to start the recording. All the other states
indicating a running recording. In case of alarm recording in prealarm state, the message state will be PRE
ALARM RECORDING even if the pre alarm recording takes place in the ram only, if at least the storage
is connected. If there is no storahge connected and recording is configured for running, the state will alway

[API: replay control]

Descriptor Support
0x0901 None no no
Read p_octet minimal Returns a list of files of a replay
session (session id needed). This
command works for local replay
only. See detailed description
Description
This command initiates a search to get the times where data is available within a recording.
The Session ID paramter must be set (a connect primitive must have been preceded).
Recording mode can be time recording (1) or alarm recording (2 and 3), only for command
CONF_SPAN_PARTITION_FILE_INFO there are seperagte files for pre (2) and post (3) alarm recording.
Search is performed from a start point on the timeline towards an end point. If the end point is prior to the
start point search is performed backwards. To get all available results of an recording a search from 0 to
0xFFFFFFFF needs to be done.
The number of results is limited to 256 per response. The result are always in ascending order independent
if the search is performed forward or backward. The File ID always increases on span recording regions if
new files will be created. To get all results the command has to be called multiple times.
In that case the start or stop times needs to be updated with every call: If a forward search is executed
the start time of the next request must be the stop time of the last retrieved result. If a bachward search is
executed the start time of the next request must be the start time of the first retrieved result.
A search is completed if the number of returned results is smaller than 256 or if the endpoint of the search
is greater or equal than than the endpoint of the last result. In case of forward search a virtual start point
(equal to the start point of the search) will be inserted if the search start point is range with recording.

Descriptor Support
0x0b8f None no no
Description
This command gets information about the recording buffer size, it includes the full amount of buffer for all
recordings, the allocated, and the minimum amount of buffer of the recording specified by the in payload.
The "full buffer bytes" is usually preallocated memory at startup and won't change it's size as long as the
device is running and is the same for all recordings (except streaming gateway). The "min buffer bytes" is
the amount of buffer the device will at least allocate if running. The "allocated buffer bytes" is the amount
of buffer the recording has actually allocated. This value can be higher than "min buffer bytes", if nt all
possible recrdings are running. The unused buffer of non running recordings will be used by the running
ones. If the recording is deaktivated, the value will be 0. When running, the value wil be usually at least "min
buffer bytes", but it can be temporary less than that value, if e.g. the recording was started shortly before and
another already running recording has allocated the whole buffer. In that case it could take some time free
the buffer by the running recording, so the allocated buffer will increase over the time. The "filled buffer
bytes" is the amount of buffer memory of the the "allocated buffer bytes", which contains data for recording
or in case of alarm recording, the amout to be recorded, if an alarm would occur in this moment. The
"filled_buffer bytes" can therefor be used to calculate the fill level of the recording buffer. The information
also includes the incomming data rate, which is the data rate of data from the video, audio, ... encoders to
the record buffer. Also th time range of available data in buffer are presented along with the progress of the
recording, all in seconds since 2000 utc. This is usefull to observe backlog of recording. Internally there are
replay sessions running directly on the record buffer, therefor information about the buffer replay are also
present, including the utc timestamp of the last replay data from buffer and byte counter and replay data rate.

further certificates, which didn't fit in the response payload. A second query in that case with a smaller time
interval may help to get the remaining certificates. The response will have a certificates list with several
enries of different size, there are no gaps between the entries.

This command returns a list of recorded alarm events in backward order, since fw 4.0 events are only alarm
state changes. Max size of the list is 128 entries. The command needs a valid replay session. The events
start from the given end time (first 4 bytes of payload) in secconds since 2000. If the payload consists of at
least 8 bytes and the bytes 5-8 are filled with the value 0xeeeeeeee the extended event structure is used in
the response payload. Payload size with all optional parameters is 12 bytes (see "In Payload"). The response
contains a flag field, containing the alarm flags, which give information about the alarm, which are activated
at this event or if all alarms went to off state, if no one of the alarm flags were set. the flags also contains
the time zone information with sign and number of quarter hours.

Descriptor Support

Description
This command can be used to configure the size of the vcd cache on a span for recording. The size parameters
are rellativ to 1 GB span size. If recording is running on soans with diffrent sizes than 1 GB, the values will
be internally scaled to the propper size, so it will also work for diffrent span sizes. The usage of a vcd cache
on spans will cause space overhead on a storage, so it is possible to switch it of by setting both values to 0. If
enabled, the recording will use these values to adjust the size of the vcd cache on spans. The used adjusted
sizes will be than limited by these two values, upper limit and lower limit. The adjusment starting value
will be between these to values. While recording, the uses space for cached vcd data will be measured and
after each span switch, the size will be adjusted by using the measurement values for new mounted spans
in order to avoid overhead. It is also possible to set a fix size for the vcd cache by this command by setting
the upper and lower limit to equal values. The default value for the command is 1 for lower limit and 128
for upper limit. For read direction an input payload is needed same as the described payload but only line
and rec idx are required, the remaining part of the payload can be clipped away.

Filter tags [3]

On input you can provide one, two or all three of the following tags. With these tags you can define filters
for the cache entries returned. The payload of the response is sequence of Cache Entry structure as described
below.
If provide no parameters (no tag) the command returns all known IP of all target indexes and LUNs in
the discovery cache. Be aware, that the output could get too long for the output buffer and there might be
missing entries.
If you provide only the IP address tag, the command will return all targets and all known LUNs and the
paths for the given IP address in the discovery cache.
If you provide both IP address and a target index tag, the command will return all known LUNs and all the
paths for this target in the discovery cache.
If you only provide a LUN number, the paths for this LUN in all discovery cache entries will be returned.
There is a reserved LUN number 0xFFFFFFFF which will always return only the first LUN of an entry in
the discovery cache. If you provide this reserved LUN number without an IP address, you will get all entries
in the discovery cache with only the paths for the first LUN. This is a good way to get the IP and target
index of all known targets in the discovery cache without overflowing the output buffer.
If you provide an IP address, a target index and a LUN number the command will return only the paths
for this target and the given LUN.

If there is no cache entry available which matches the given filter, the command returns the 'Tag 0x0003:
No entry available' tag. In case of this command the tag always return 0x00000000 as error code (no error).

Response/Write Payload Structure
CacheEntry
In write direction the command expects the Cache Entry encoding described below. This encoded cache
entry is written to the discovery cache. Cache entries which are written with this command are stored in
persistent cache and are persistent over a device reset.
In write direction this command must carry a valid external instance bitmask which has to be unequal 0. If
it is 0 the command is returned with an error.
To delete such an entry you must provide the Cache Entry encoding with only the target IP, target index
and external instance tag. The entry is cleared, when all external instance bits are cleared.
Every cache entry is started with a surrounding start tag (0x8009) followed by the IP for which this entry
was generated (tag 0x000a). After this IP entry the target index is indicated to resolve a unique target on
this IP (tag 0x000b). A surrounding tag (0x8008) marks one LUN entry which has several path entries, each
surrounded by a 0x8004 tag.
If there is no entry the 'Tag 0x0003: No entry available' tag is returned."

environment the first VRM may set bit 0. The secondary VRM will use bit 1. With this bitfield it is tracked,
who wrote this cache entry. If one instance deletes the cache entry, only the bit used by this instance is
cleared. If any other bits are still set, the entry is not deleted. When this bitfield becomes zero at a delete
request, the entry is really deleted. ATTENTION: This field must always have a value other then 0. Writing
a cache entry from outside world with external instance equal 0 will cause a write error.

Read p_octet minimal Multipath discover
Description
This command initiates a multipath discovery of a target. This means iSCSI stack tries to detect all known
alternative pathes for all LUNs for the given main path.
The user can select alternative pathes to be scanned with the 0x0003 tag. If no 0x0003 tag is given all pathes
found at discovery are scanned.
ATTENTION: The command can take up to the amount of scanned pathes multiplied with 10 seconds to
complete! This scan does not create any persistent discovery cache entries. All cached data is cleared after
the scan.

alternative path might not be reachable.
Bit 5 0x00000020 Closing The session is about to be closed gracefully.
There are no more users on this session and it
will be closed.
Bit 4 0x00000010 NonOptimized Connection runs on a non optimized path
(lower performance) and will try to go back to
an main path as soon as possible.
Bit 3 0x00000008 Alternate Path Unoptimized The connection runs through an alternative
path which is not declared as being optimized
or not optimized. Connection will go back to
the main path when possible.
Bit 2 0x00000004 Alternate Path Optimized The connection is connected via an alternative
path. So The connection runs optimized but not
through the main path.
Bit 1 0x00000002 MainIP The connection is connected via the main
IP (main path or prefered path) and working
optimized.

No Multipath 0 The target has no multipath support and only one of the states Bit 0 (offline)
and Bit 1 (connected optimized) is reported, as the target can only be on- or
offline. It has no alternative pathes.
Multipath 1 The target supports multipathing and there are alternative pathes available.
All states from above can be reported for the target.
Example
This is the payload when a target supports multipathing. The IP of the origin connection is 10.1.1.10. The
target with index 2 on this IP is used. The connection runs over the IP 10.1.1.12 at the moment. This is a
path which is marked as non optimized.

Write t_dword service Sets the video encoder (given by

recording is running and the iframe
distance is 0, the iframe distance
of the preset will be patched to
a recording suitable value. For
transcoder: if the request contains
the replay session id and no num
descriptor, the device will assign
the preset to the transcoder of the
replay session. If the preset is empty
the transcoder will be disabled. For
exclusive (dual) stream instances:
if the request contains the session
id and the num descriptor is 0, the
previously configured preset with
its session based (non-permanent)
modifications will be applied to the
encoder.

Description
Reading the CONF_NETWORK_SERVICES command returns a list of TCP/UDP services which are
available on the device. Each entry represents one service. The entry show if the service is enabled at the
moment and what TCP/UDP port it is assigned to if a port is available. If the port cannot be adjusted the
0x0004 tag is simply missing. Client software can show this list to give the user the opportunity to check
and configure all runiing network services.
Writing this command allows to configure the services returned by a preceding read. In write direction the
command payload has the same structure. The client does not need to include all services returned by the
read. It can only add the services to change to the write payload. The tag 0x0002 (label) must not be included
in write payload. The service ID must provided and identitfies the service to change. The ID is not fixed
across firmware versions and must be retrieved by a preceeding read.
Writing this command is only a request to the device to shutdown or start the services. That's why the device
cannot answer with with the new state of the services. The device replies to a write operation with the actual
state of the network services (the complete list). This does eventually not reflect the changes which will be
done by the requests in this write operation.
Note: Most network services need a reboot of the device to be stopped or started. After writing this command
the device should be rebootet!

Tag 1: Numerical ID
This tag gives each service a numerical ID. The ID should be retrieved via reading this command first. You
can assume, that the ID for a special service keeps constant in newer firmware versions. So this ID can be
treated as a unique identifier for a specific service. When using this command in write direction to configure
a service this ID must be presented to identify the service.

For historical reasons most services set their port to 0 to show that they are disabled. If you set the 'Enable'
tag to 0 at write and set the port != 0 the command will automaticly set the port to 0. Setting 'Enabled' tag
to != 0 and the port to 0 will use default port. Else the given port will be used.

Write p_octet service Access to the OSD via RCP
command
Description
Up to version 4.50, this command only applies to decoders to display text onto the video output. The num
field carries the video output number. A value of 0 indicates that the text should be displayed on all screens.
Remind that the num value numbering scheme takes quad mode into account for the lines where quad is
possible, even if quad mode is not active. (E.g. to have an OSD stamped into the fourth line of a VIP X1600
XFMD, you need to use num value of 10). To delete previously submitted strings, send an empty string
(not space characters!).
From version 4.50 on this command applies to encoders as well. In that case, the encoder will embed the
text information into the RTP data stream to be overlayed by the receiving decoder. The attribute and flag
fields are not applicable to the decoder's video output. The num field applies to the video input number.

Descriptor Support
0x0ae0 " no no
Read p_octet minimal Access to the OSD via RCP
command
Write p_octet service Access to the OSD via RCP
command
Description
Set or get the position of OSD objects (see CONF_OSD_ACCESS). For "write" the num field carries the
video number; 0 indicates that the string positions on all video lines will be set.
Up to version 4.50, this command only applies to decoders to display text onto the video output. The num
field carries the video output number. A value of 0 indicates that the text should be displayed on all screens.
Remind that the num value numbering scheme takes quad mode into account for the lines where quad is
possible, even if quad mode is not active. (E.g. to have an OSD stamped into the fourth line of a VIP X1600
XFMD, you need to use num value of 10). To delete previously submitted strings, send an empty string
(not space characters!).
From version 4.50 on this command applies to encoders as well. In that case, the encoder will embed the
text information into the RTP data stream to be overlayed by the receiving decoder. The attribute and flag
fields are not applicable to the decoder's video output. The num field applies to the video input number.

Description
This command is used to prepare a remote device for recording via a another device (e.g remote recording
on a transcoder). Normally the remote device will be configured to record on one or more (upto 8) local
managed storage, which is already configured by the command CONF_STORAGE_LIST. The Storage can
be a local storage on the remote device or any storage on the local device. This is choosen by the flag
"remote managed storage". If this flag is set, the storage/lun idx refers the lun index of a local storage on
the remote device. Otherwise it is the index from the storage list of the local device. The preparation will be
the configuration of the micro vrm on the recording device and in case of remote recording constellation,
it will allow the remote recording on the storage managing device.

Command reference / CONF_RCP_CLIENT_TIMEOUT_WARNING
2.513 CONF_RCP_CLIENT_TIMEOUT_WARNING
[API: rcp.control]

Descriptor Support
0xff03 None yes no
Description
The RCP server has to deal with lots of RCP connections at the same time. If an RCP client is going
down without notification to the server, an orphan table entry will remain. To avoid this, a timeout
mechanism is provided. Each RCP client must show any activity within 10 minutes. After this time the
registration of a specific RCP client is invalid. For easy handling, the RCP client can register itself for an
RCP_CLIENT_TIMEOUT_WARNIG message. The client will be notified 1 minute before the timeout
occurs.
The timeout renewal can be achieved by any RCP read or write command. A good advise is to read the
RCP_CLIENT_REGISTRATION.

Description
A replay connection can be established in two steps: 1) build up a "dry" (replay) connection by setting
the flag in the CONNECT_PRIMITIVE request. A Rcp connection is established and a session id to
control the connection is returned. Data is not sent out as long as no source is connected. 2) connect a
source to the connection (only implemented for replay) using this RCP_CONNECT_SALVO_COMMAND
with the provided session id. The connection will retrieve the data from the specified device If a
source is already connected a second call of this command will replace the first connection. The num
parameter can be used to refere to an entry from CONF_ADD_REMOTE_DEVICE (num 1 to 4). In
that case only a shorter payload (line and relative coder) is required. All other parameters will be taken
from the CONF_ADD_REMOTE_DEVICE command. For port and ssl port the first two ports of a
CONF_ADD_REMOTE_DEVICE entry will be used in that order. If the num parameter is set to zero, all
other parameters are required and used if the connection is a remote device. If num is zero and the short
payload (line and rel coder) is also used, it is asumed, that the local device is addressed.

the device. To perform a chunked read the last MsgSeqNo returned by prior request to this command can
be the argument of the next request to retreive the next chunk.
BootCount
Boot counter. This in combination with MsgSeqNo makes a unique ID for a message. If supplied BootCount
is lower than actual BootCount then all messages in Buffer are returned up to MaxResultMsg

Read p_octet live
Write p_octet user
Description
The transparent data from and to the serial interfaces is handled by RCP to achieve reliable transfer of
information. To gather control over the remote serial interface a successful registration is necessary.
Once the VideoJet has received a TRANSFER_TRANSPARENT_DATA command, it checks whether the
RCP client is in control or not. If the RCP client is allowed to send data to the serial interface, the reply will
present an OK. If the RCP client is not allowed to send data, a FAIL will be returned. In this case another
RCP client is controlling the serial out. The timeout and priority handling of the serial ports is beyond the
scope of this document.
Note: This command is NOT readable in a sense to obtain data from a serial port. In can only be read in
order to check if serial port access is currently granted. See further details below.
The reply to the Read command will be the same as the reply to the write command. The returned code will
present the availability of the serial port.
NOTE: Despite a positive reply to a read command, the port may be locked by another RCP client in the
time slice between the read and a following write command.
The data coming from the serial input is delivered using an RCP message. All RCP clients which want
to receive this data must be registered for the message 0xFFDD. Data is posted if the corresponding RCP
client is in control only.
If no client has a lease on the serial port, a message to all registered clients will be generated.
NOTE: The received message will carry NO header.

out of this list, the corresponding span manager is contacted and queried for spans. If the span manager is
not accessable or will not return a span for some reason (maybe it has no more free spans to export), the
entry with the next lower priority is picked out of the list. If at least one span manager for primary recording
is configured, all entries of managed vrm (configured by CONF_MANAGING_VRM) will be deleted.

up to the given timeout. The new destination is only stored in the camera's configuration if a connection
could be established within this time. If not, the new destinaton will not be stored and the camera will re-
connect again to the previous destination.

Description
The reply to an read request always contains up to n (n=512) entrys. The response in case of an empty span
list is one zeroed span entry.
On a write request, a list of max n (n=512) span addresses must be supplied. List entrys that are zero are
not used by the unit for recording. The unit uses the supplied ordering of the list and begins with the first
entry. The order of the supplied list is the preferred order, not the guaranted order. There are some cases,
in which the device changes the use order (e.g. one target not reachable).
If the device is already recording on spans (a span list is already present on the device), the new list must
contain the span addresses, that the unit is currently recording on. The latter information can be obtained
by reading the current span address list form the unit and check the corresponding write lock header (if the
units IP and MAC address is found this means the unit is recording). If the unit receives a list and the span
addresses of the spans the device is currently recording on is not present, the list is rejected (not saved in
the configuration) and an error is returned.
A message of this cmd tag will be send always, if somone sets the span address lists by using rcp set spans list
commands or if the span list is cleared by indirectly by changing other settings of the device (e.g. rec mgmt).

the existence of further certificates, which didn't fit in the response payload. A second query in that case
with a smaller time interval may help to get the remaining certificates. The response will have a certificates

Write p_octet service Set path to span files (gen dll only).
Description
This command allows to set the path to a mounted span formatted storage or directory. You have to send
the in payload to set the path. The min payload size is 16 bytes. The max path name length is 1024 bytes
including the zero termination. payload size must be set to the size that includes the zero termination but
min size is 16 bytes even in case of an empty string (at least zero termination). You can set up to 32768
pathes. Use the num param to specify the index of an entry. If you set the path it will check the path. To pass
this check, at least a valid Lun info file (INFO.TXT) has to exist. The span are needed later when accessing
the storage(e.g header access, replay). The response to the write direction is has the out payload format.
If success the error field is zero and the payload includes the set path and the exported lun address. This
storage is now accessable by using this address for other commands. if the set failes, the error field is non
zero and contains an error code. It is allowed to set path on an index that was already set. The old values
will be overwritten, but remember that the effect takes place later, if there are still open references based
on the old entry (e.g. running replay, header access).
The cmd can be used for read direction. The response payload contains the export lun address and the path.
error code is always zero. If the entry is empty, the path is empty and has only the zero termination.

Write p_octet service Switch spans, see detailed
description
Description
This command can be used to influence the span usage of the recording. It is able to cause a replace of the
premounted span and or switch to the next premounted span.
The flag SWITCH_SPAN causes the switch to the next span and releasing the actual recording span. Flag
REPLACE_PREMOUNTED will cause the release of the premounted span and mounting another one if
available. If both flags are activated, the premounted block will be replaced, as soon as a new premounted
span is mounted and available, the next step switch to premounted span will be performed. Before replacing
the premounted span, the actual recording span will be checked, if the replace could get in conflict with a
device internal triggered span switch. In that case the whole Span switch command will fail with rcp error
RCP_ERROR_TRY_LATER, no switch or replace will be performed.
When performing a switch to next span job, the recording span address in the payload will be checked. If
on execution of this job the recording span doesn't match the recording span from the payload, the switch
will not be performed. When performing a replace premounted span job, the premounted span address in
the payload will be checked. If on execution of this job the premounted span doesn't match the premounted
span from the payload, the replace will not be performed. The idea of these checks is to avoid conflicts with
the automatic span switching of the recording, that can lead to gaps in the recording and unwanted waste of
recording spans. The flag FORCE will skip these checks. Flag CHECK_PREMOUNTED is only relevant
for the switch to next span job without replacing the premounted span and without FORCE flag. If this flag is
active on switching ton next span, the premounted span parameter in the payload will be matched against the
actual premounted span. If no match the switch won't be performed. If this flag including the FORCE flag
isn't set on switch, a negative match will be performed on the premounted span. The TARGET_RETREAT
Bit means, than a complete retreate from this target is intended, the span history will be modified in order
to avoid a remount on that target. That state will stay active for that target until the device records on a new
target and adds a span from the new target to the history, or if the span history will be cleared or the the
target will be reintroduced with the bit TARGET_REINTRODUCE. The TARGET_REINTRODUCE Bit
is needed to undo a TARGET_RETREAT action, which is specialy in the case needed, when a device shall
return to a target, from that it had retreated erlier and no recording took place on another target between these
events. In that case the remount feature for that target is still disabled. The TARGET_REINTRODUCE Bit
will reenable the remount feature for that target without the nessessarity of clearing the whole span history.
Warning: A possible conflict, when requesting a replace of the premounted span with an automatic span
switch of the recording that causes gaps in the recording is unavoidable. So an excesive usage of replacing
premounted spans should be avoided.

Command reference / CONF_STORAGE_LIST
2.634 CONF_STORAGE_LIST
[API: storage]

Descriptor Support
0x0a37 None yes no
Read p_octet minimal Read the device storage list.
Write p_octet service Write the stuff. (, not supported
while recording is running)
Description
Use this command to configure and manage local or remote storage. The storage list may contain up to 16
entries. If a remote (iscsi) storage is to be managed, the lun address has to be specified. Realize, that if you
export an remote storage, the device will have preformance drawbacks cause the ip- and iscsi-stack will be
passed through twice. Prefer to access the remote storage directly instead.
The storage lun can be write protected. If this state was recognized, the Mgr Status will inform about
this state by the value "WRITE PROTECTION". There are three ways for a storage lun to become write
protected here. First to configure explicite the storage lun(Span Mgr) to be in read only mode, second by a
defect storage lun, which will cause a fall back into a write protection mode, and third if the storage is set
physically to write protection (e.g. user moves the lever on the sd card into the write protection position).
The storage devices will be exported through iscsi in the order of this list (storage devices with the 'iSCSI
export' field set to 'For local use only' [0x00] are omitted) and the storage will appear in the same place of
the target name list of an iscsi discovery on that device.
This command will be send as msg (can also be send as snmp trap with same pyload) in case of crossing
the storage threshold with Mgr status ALARM THRESHOLD or in case of overwriting recording, that is
still protected by unexpired retention time with mgr status ALARM OVERWRITE.

This command is used to read and write the configuration of the streaming gateway. For the read direction
only "gateway line" and "gateway stream" parameter are relevant for the send diretion. The reply payload
will contain the full parameter set. For write direction use the full parameter set to configure a streaming
gate camera, if the action is "add camera". Depending on the camera type and connection type, additional
optional parameters are nessessary. E.g. the device simulator is able to connect to another bosch camera or
device specified by the url ([ip]:[port]/[line (1,2,...)]/[coder idx (1,2,...)]). E.g. with url "10.1.10.20:80/1/1"
it connects to the device on ip 10.1.10.20 and port 80 on the first line and the first video encoder.

Description
This command configures the rules for resolving a storage target id to the parameter for connecting the
storage server. The target id is an 32 bit system wide unique identifier and replaces the ipv4 addresses for
storages. The display format of an id in text will be "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" like ipv4 addresses. There are special
values for the target id, which are 0.0.0.0 for invalid target id, 255.255.255.255 for wildcard and 127.0.0.1
for the local target in order to be backward compartible with older devices and software which expect an
ipv4 address instead. The default state for the configured rules containes only one rule for the complete
range 0.0.0.1 to 255.255.255.254 and lowest priority 0 for DIRECT_IPV4 for backard compartibility. In
order to change or add rules, all which shall be changed or added needs to be send including the table entry
index. Entries which shall not be changed doesn't need to be send. Also the read response payload will only
contain valid rules, except if the table is empty, in that case only one empty rule will be in the payload.

Command reference / CONF_UPLOAD_HISTORY

Descriptor Support
0x0b44 None no no
Description
Command CONF_UPLOAD_HISTORY allows to get insights on what was uploaded to the queried device
lately. The order of the entries in the upload history is always a chronological order. New entries are
appended at the end. In case all ten entries of the list are filled, the oldest entry is overwritten. Therefore, the
Latest Entry number in the header needs to be considered to find the latest entry in the list. The 2nd newest
entry is the preceding one in the list, and so on. While finding timely preceding entries, make sure to wrap in
the list to the last entry, where necessary. Handling the order of the entries in the list this way makes parsing
slightly more complicated than absolutely necessary, but helps to raise the MTBF of the flash hardware.
Considering these two aspects lead to the aforementioned organization of the upload history.
Uploads interrupted by power failure and consequent recovery measures like upload of a new firmware via
the recovery application APP0 can make it necessary to interpret the content of the upload history manually
with the help of the given flags, the firmware version, the file type and the date.

2.746 CONF_VIDEO_STATIC_SCENE_REGIONS
[API: encoder]

Descriptor Support
Available yes no no
Description
The actual payload of this command consist of a sequence of variable length records, each specifying a
region and a corresponding category to be used during encoding. The region is characterized by a mandatory
rectangle and optionally a shape. Up to 8 regions and in total up to 96 32-bit data for shapes are supported.
Depending on the firmware version the shape data may be ignored. In this case the rectangle is used instead.
This may also happen, if the restrictions indicated below are violated by the shape data.
Normally the "background" category is used for unimportant parts of the scene and the "object" category for
important ones. For this two categories, specific quality adjustments can be defined via the encoding profile
of every encoder. An area not belonging to any region is implicitly assigned to the "Default" category with no
specific adjustments. The forth category is currently assigned via the VIDEO_ENC_TEMP_QUANT_ADJ
command separately for each encoder.
Note, that by using overlapping regions, more than one category can be assigned to some areas of the scene.
In this case the category with the best quality adjustment for an encoder takes preceedence. Therefore it
may be usefull to assign the "Default" category explicitly to some regions.

Depending on the encoding resolution, the quality may only be adjusted on quite a coarse grid. This bit
allows to specifiy whether the required rounding shall be performed by shrinking or enlarging the specified
region.

N
This field indicates the number of 32-bit items defining the optional shape of this region and therefore also
specifies indirectly the total size of this record (12 + N * 4 octets). For compatibility with future version
of this RCP PLUS specification, clients SHOULD set this item to 0 for any region which they define or
modify, but keep it and the corresponding shape data unmodified for regions they don't change.
Vertex
32-bit item used for shape data. The item describes a vertex of a polygonal shape boundary in the order as
included in the record (the closing edge between vertex N and vertex 1 is added automatically). The vertices
should all be different and the edges between them should have no point in common beside the vertex
between them. (If the resulting area inside the polygon is not single connected the behaviour is undefined)

2.783 CONF_VIRTUAL_ALARM_PARAMETER
[API: alarm]

Descriptor Support
0x0ba6 "virtual no no
alarm nbr"
Write p_octet service Activate/deactivate virtual alarms
with parameter, see detailed
description
Description
This command is used to trigger a virtual alarm along with parameters for alarm recording. The alarm
can be activated, deactivated or triggered as single shot, which is an activate and deactivate within on
command. Its also possible to trigger a silent alarm, by setting the activate and deactivate flag to zero.
This works like a single shot alarm, the user data will be recorded and backups between the recordings
will be scheduled, but the virtual alarm won't be triggered. If silent alarm is used, the num parameter
doesn't choose the virtual alarm number, but it is mapped directly to the recording line. The command can
have user data which can be recorded as meta data along to the video data. Also the pre and post alarm
time can be specified but is only valid, if the alarm recording is done via backuped recording setup and
the Flag ALARM_IGNORE_ALARM_TIME_PARAMETER isn't set. This will cause an alarm backup
from the recording (primary or secondary, depending on the virtual alarm configuration and encoder index
configuration) with this parameter, but the pre alarm time is limited by the max pre alarm time which is the
same as the configured prealarm time of the secondary recording on the internal storage. It is also limited
by the storage space of the internal storage. The max pre alarm time is also the delay for the recording. That
means the recording of the alarm file triggered by an alarm will be started after this delay expires. Until
that time the records of that file are only available on the internal storage. When a new alarm is triggered
by activate, the reply returns an alarm content handle (only on activation, not on single shot). The limit
for open content handle at the same time per line (includes also deactivated alarms or alarm shots within
the post alarm time) is 32. This handle can be used to deactivate the alarm later by sending this command
with the handle in the payload or it can be used to retrigger the alarm with new user data. For retrigger the
playload looks the same as for activate, except a valid handle is required. Only for deactivation or retrigger
of the alarm, the handle is required for in payload. A valid handle is a non zero handle, if the handle is set
to zero, it will be interpreted as wild card on deactivate, which will deactivate/close all active handles or as
invalid. In case of activate, a new handle will be opened and returned in the reply, if the handle is invalid/
zero. If a handle(or all handles) will be deactivated/closed, it will decay with the post alarm time. An alarm
can also used on first activation to add the "protected" attribute to the file, which includes the record data
of the alarm. The limit for pending intervals for protection are limited to 32 per line. Pending is an interval
in the time from the occurence of the protecting alarm and the backup of the alarm record data.

Descriptor Support
0x0bf5 None no no
Description
The command returns which audio input lines are virtual and which is the associated physical line. A
physical line is phyical audio input - that's the usual case. A virtual line is just a copy of a physical line
and supports only a subset of the RCP commands compared to a physical line. Some commands only make
sense on physical line (e.g. input volume). Those commands fail on virtual lines and must be applied on
the associated physcial line instead. The required information can be read out using this command. Virtual
lines are introduced to provide a copy to an existing physical line. A single physical audio input can be
associated to multiple video input lines. This keeps our known behaviour to have an audio line with the
same number as the video line.

Description
The command returns which video input lines are virtual and which is the assiciated physical line. A physical
line has it's own video signal - that's the usual case. A virtual line is derived from a physical line and
supports only a subset of the RCP commands compared to a physical line. Some commands only make
sense on physical line (e.g. brightness, contrast, ...). Those fail on virtual lines and must be applied on the
associated physcial line instead. The required information can be read out using this command. Virtual
lines are introduced to provide a second view on an existing physical line. This is useful e.g. to have a
dewarped image on a 180 or 360 degree camera. Furthermore each virtual line has its own video analysis
meta data stream (a.k.a. "VCD stream") which is also derived from the image on the physical line but already
preprocessed (cropped, dewarped, ...) to fit the view on the virtual line.

Appendix / Sample application in C
3.1 Sample application in C

This is a sample application to interface the RCP Plus server inside the VideoJet.
This application provides six steps:
• Connecting to the RCP server over TCP port 1756
• Register at the server
• Reading the software version
• Connecting to a second unit
• Disconnect the devices
• Wait for messages
For compiling the source code we suggest Microsoft Visual C++ V5.00. Other compiler should also work
fine except the winsock initialization.

Appendix / Starting a replay service on the VCS VideoJet using the VCS MPEG-Act...
3.5 Starting a replay service on the VCS

VideoJet using the VCS MPEG-Active-X
The VCS Active-X control is a software which provides
• RCP+ registration at the VideoJet
• The establishing of video, audio and data channels to the VideoJet
• A network connection to the VideoJets for sending and receiving RCP+ commands
The VCS Active-X has its own API. Please also refer to this documentation. The VCS Active-X is not
essential for starting a reply service; all commands can be send using a socket communication (see sample
code in appendix).
The VCS VideoJets with the HDD option are capable to record live video and audio stream to their internal
HDD. The recording is scheduled by the build-in HDD recording manager which can be configured using
the Webinterface. Normally the replay can also be started using the Webinterface, or alternatively by the
VCS VIDOS software.
This document describes the scenario for starting a replay service step by step.
Enable the reception of RCP messages via the ActiveX.
m_mpeg.EnableRCPEvents(short sEnable);
with sEnable = 1.
Establish a RCP connection to the VideoJet for VCS MPEG Active-X.
m_mpeg.RegisterDeviceEx(LPCTSTR strDestination, short sClient, LPCTSTR

strUserPass);
with strDestination being the IP address of the requested unit. Set sClient = 0 and strUserPass = NULL as
long as the referenced unit is not password-protected.
The response of the unit will be forwarded via the event method.
RCPStateEx(short sState, short sClient);
If the registration succeeded, sState will be set to 4 and sClient specifies the client ID provided by the remote
unit. This client ID has to be used subsequently in all RCP+ commands.
Connect the VCS MPEG Active-X with the internal HDD of the VideoJet
m_mpeg.ConnectVideoEx(short type, short bandwidth, short resolution,

short line, bool forceUnicast)
with
• type = 0x80FF to accept both MPEG2 and MPEG4 recordings
• bandwith has be unequal to 0, but is otherwise not evaluated

• resolution = 0xFFFF to accept any resolution

• line specifies the harddisk partition number to be accessed
• forceUnicast should be set to true.
The state of the video connection will be forwarded via event method
VideoState(short sState, long session);
If the connection succeeded, sState will be set to 2 and ssession specifies the session ID provided by the
remote unit. This session ID has to be used subsequently in all RCP+ commands referencing this connection.
In the callback reply from the command, a session ID, assigned by the VideoJet will be retrieved. Using
this session ID, all replay related commands will affect this connection to the HDD of the VideoJet.
To retrieve the current available recordings on the VideoJet, a list can be loaded from the HDD.
The RCP command is HD_PARTITION_FILE_INFO (0x0901):
unsigned short clientID;

unsigned char cmd[64];
cmd[0] = 0x09;
cmd[1] = 0x01;
cmd[2] = 0x0c;
cmd[3] = 0x03;
cmd[4] = 0x00;
cmd[5] = 0x00;
cmd[6] = (clientID & 0xFF00) >> 8;
cmd[7] = (clientID & 0x00FF);
cmd[8] = 0x00;
cmd[9] = 0x00;
cmd[10] = 0x00;
cmd[11] = 0x00;
cmd[12] = 0x00;
cmd[13] = 0x01;
cmd[14] = 0x00;
cmd[15] = 0x00;
Any RCP commands will be sent via
m_mpeg.SendRCP(VARIANT rcp);
with rcp being a VARIANT representation of the RCP command. From the above byte array the VARIANT
can be built as follows:
VARIANT* pVar = 0;
SAFEARRAY FAR* psa;
SAFEARRAYBOUND rgsabound[1];
rgsabound[0].lLbound = 0;

rgsabound[0].cElements = size; //the number of bytes to transmit (16

in this example)
psa = SafeArrayCreate(VT_UI1, 1, rgsabound);
if(psa != NULL)
{
char* psafeData;
if(SafeArrayAccessData(psa,(void HUGEP* FAR*)&psafeData) == S_OK)
{
memcpy(psafeData,cmd,size);
SafeArrayUnaccessData(psa);
pVar = new VARIANT;

if(pVar)
{
VariantInit(pVar);
pVar->vt = VT_ARRAY | VT_UI1;
pVar->parray = psa;
//send the command

m_mpeg.SendRCP(*pVar);
//free the variant

VariantClear(pVar);
delete pVar;
}
}
}
Any RCP responses from the unit will be forwarded via event method
ReceivedRCP(VARIANT rcp)
with rcp being a VARIANT representation of the received response. The contained byte array can be
extracted as follows:
long i;
SAFEARRAY FAR* psa = NULL;
BYTE * pbytes;
HRESULT hr;
LONG cElements, lLBound, lUBound;
VARIANT* pVariant;
// Type check VARIANT parameter. It should contain a BSTR array

// passed by reference. The array must be passed by reference it is
// an in-out-parameter.
if (RCP.vt == (VT_ARRAY | VT_UI1))

{
psa = RCP.parray;
if(psa == NULL)
return FALSE;
// Check dimensions of the array.
if (SafeArrayGetDim(psa) != 1)
return FALSE;
// Get array bounds.

hr = SafeArrayGetLBound(psa, 1, &lLBound);
if (FAILED(hr) || lLBound != 0)
return FALSE;
hr = SafeArrayGetUBound(psa, 1, &lUBound);
if (FAILED(hr))
return FALSE;
// Get a pointer to the elements of the array.

hr = SafeArrayAccessData(psa, (void HUGEP* FAR*)&pbytes);
if (FAILED(hr))
return FALSE;
cElements = lUBound-lLBound+1;
BYTE * pMess = new BYTE[cElements];

if(pMess)
{
for (i = 0; i < cElements; i++)
{
*(pMess+i) = pbytes[i];
}
SafeArrayUnaccessData(psa);
//here process the received byte array contained in pMess

…
// free the byte array

delete[] pMess;
}
For the above command the VideoJet will return a list of all current recordings. The structure of this list
follows this data structure:
struct HdPartitionFileInfo
{
DWORD secBeg;

DWORD secEnd;
DWORD flags;
DWORD ID;
};
secBeg: Start of the recording (counted in seconds since the 1.1.2000 00:00)

The total number of recordings can be calculated by the size of the reply divided by the size of the structure
(16).
The application can now decide which file to replay. In addition to that, the VideoJets are capable only to
replay a specified period of time.
To select the period (or the entire file), the RCP command HD_REPLAY_STOP_TIME (0x0904) will set
the end marker for the replay and the command HD_REPLAY_SEEK_TIME (0x0905) will set the start
marker. The time is specified by the same format as in the list (counted in seconds since 1.1.2000 00:00).
There is seconds DWORD for future extensions. The structure for setting the start and stop time is:

struct TimeSet
{
DWORD sec;
DWORD unused;
};
Now set the stop marker:
unsigned long sessionID, StopTime;

cmd[0] = 0x09;
cmd[1] = 0x04;
cmd[2] = 0x0c;
cmd[3] = 0x13;
cmd[4] = 0x00;
cmd[5] = 0x00;
cmd[8] = (sessiondID & 0xFF000000) >> 24;
cmd[9] = (sessiondID & 0x00FF0000) >> 16;
cmd[11] = (sessiondID & 0x000000FF);
cmd[12] = 0x00;
cmd[13] = 0x00;
cmd[14] = 0x00;
cmd[15] = 0x08;
cmd[16] = (StopTime & 0xFF000000) >> 24;

cmd[17] = (StopTime & 0x00FF0000) >> 16;
cmd[18] = (StopTime & 0x0000FF00) >> 8;
cmd[19] = (StopTime & 0x000000FF);
cmd[20] = 0x00;
cmd[21] = 0x00;
cmd[22] = 0x00;
cmd[23] = 0x00;
Transfer the command into a VARIANT and send it as described above. A corresponding response via
ReceivedRCP() should be waited for.
The send the start marker:

unsigned long sessionID, StartTime;

cmd[0] = 0x09;
cmd[1] = 0x05;
cmd[2] = 0x0c;
cmd[3] = 0x13;
cmd[4] = 0x00;
cmd[5] = 0x00;
cmd[12] = 0x00;
cmd[13] = 0x00;
cmd[14] = 0x00;
cmd[15] = 0x08;
cmd[16] = (StartTime & 0xFF000000) >> 24;

cmd[17] = (StartTime & 0x00FF0000) >> 16;
cmd[18] = (StartTime & 0x0000FF00) >> 8;
cmd[19] = (StartTime & 0x000000FF);
cmd[20] = 0x00;
cmd[21] = 0x00;
cmd[22] = 0x00;
cmd[23] = 0x00;
Now the replay can be started by sending RCP command HD_REPLAY_START (0x0902). The integer
parameter specifies the speed of the replay. Normally 100% is live speed, slow motion is less than 100%
and fast forward is more than 100%. For backup purposes, the speed can be increased up to 99999. this
signals the VideoJet to send the recorded data as fast as possible. A value of 0% will pause the replay.
int Speed=100;
unsigned long sessionID;
cmd[0] = 0x09;
cmd[1] = 0x02;
cmd[2] = 0x04;
cmd[3] = 0x13;

cmd[4] = 0x00;
cmd[5] = 0x00;
cmd[12] = 0x00;
cmd[13] = 0x00;
cmd[14] = 0x00;
cmd[15] = 0x04;
cmd[16] = (Speed & 0xFF000000) >> 24;

cmd[17] = (Speed & 0x00FF0000) >> 16;
cmd[18] = (Speed & 0x0000FF00) >> 8;
cmd[19] = (Speed & 0x000000FF);
To jump to a certain time, the HD_REPLAY_SEEK_TIME (0x0905) can also be used during a replay
service. In paused mode, the VideoJet will perform jumps to next frames or previous intra frames. The
command for this is HD_REPLAY_SEEK_IFRAME (0x0907). The integer parameter specifies the number
of frames to go. Positive values will lead to the next frames; negative values direct to previous intra frames.
Due to the limitation of compressed video data, backward skips will lead to intra frames only. The intra
frame distance is 5 seconds on VideoJet X00 and is scalable on VideoJet X000. To terminate a replay, the
RCP command HD_REPLAY_STOP (0x0903) may be send.
unsigned long sessionID;

cmd[0] = 0x09;
cmd[1] = 0x03;
cmd[2] = 0x00;
cmd[3] = 0x31;
cmd[4] = 0x00;
cmd[5] = 0x00;
cmd[12] = 0x00;
cmd[13] = 0x00;

cmd[14] = 0x00;
cmd[15] = 0x01;
cmd[16] = 0x01;
ReceivedRCP() should be waited for. An alternative is to disconnect the connection by calling
m_mpeg.DisconnectVideo();
During the replay certain messages are generated by the VideoJet.

Signals the current position inside the recording. This may be displayed by a slider positions in the GUI.
Signals, that the current recording has changed its duration (normally every second). The payload of this
message has the same format as the file list, except, that there is only one line (the current recording)
Signals that there is an updated file list available (e.g. a new alarm recording has been started). The
application may reload the file list again

Appendix / Bicom Command Access Levels
3.7 Bicom Command Access Levels

The default protection level for BICOM / AUX commands is 'bl_user' for get-operations (get, getMax,
getMin) and 'bl_service' for all other operations. All BICOM / AUX commands which have a protection
level different from the default are listed in the following tables. 'bl_priv' means that the command is not
accessible at all.
