About RAID5 Storage RAID storage is a system which allows hard drives to be linked together to form a single large capacity storage device that offers superior performance, storage capacity, and reliability over other storage solutions. The VNM Recorder uses RAID5 storage. RAID5 storage provides the following advantages. z Increased storage performance. z Full data redundancy which allows for data backup in the event of a hard drive failure. z A hard drive is set aside as a hot spare drive whi

Unicast RTP — An Overview Similar to multicast RTP, this method uses a real‑time variation of UDP protocol, called unicast RTP. This method can be used where the network infrastructure does not support multicast traffic. Typically, this protocol is used for point‑to‑point configuration (single source to single display), but can be configured to use up to a maximum of four displays. NOTE: The encoder sends an individual stream to each decoder. This means that the total bandwidth of the VN‑Mat

Unicast TCP — An Overview This method transports data using standard TCP (Transport Control Protocol) and should only be used for single point‑to‑point transfer of data. TCP is a connection‑based protocol and, therefore, data is guaranteed to be delivered. However, in the event of excessive network traffic, delivery may be delayed which will impact real‑time performance.
