1 New software features in BRS 8.11 1.1 Remote export This feature allows to export on remote BRS systems and to load exports from remote BRS systems. 1.1.1 Exporting to remote station BRS 8.11 is able to export to a remote station. Both - export in BRS native format and in ASF format - is supported on a root directory of the logical drives, including a CD/DVD writer, of any connected BRS remote station. 1.1.2 Loading BRS export from remote station Accordingly exported video can be loaded from a root directory of the logical drives, including a CD/DVD writer, of any connected BRS remote station. 1.2 Image comparison This feature allows to set comparison images on several BRS recorders and to visually compare current images of multiple BRS recorders on one (1) remote client. After performing an image comparison, a report can be displayed and saved. 1.2.1 Configuring comparison images BRS configuration offers the user to set and to save a comparison image of current live images of MPEG4, H.264 and Onvif cameras. Additionally a time stamp is saved. Notes: The comparison images are saved in folder \ProgramData\Bosch\Bosch Recording Station\ReferenceImages. Remote configuration does not support comparison images. When saving a Configuration containing comparison images, a folder is created, which contains the comparison images; this folder gets the same name as the configuration file (default = vidsys). Accordingly comparison images get loaded with a Configuration file. 1.2.2 Comparing images in BRS application To start image comparison: right-click remote station > Image comparison 1. Select cameras to compare 2. Retrieve images 3. Evaluate images 4. Create report Page 2 of 5
Notes: Image comparison is permitted per Authorization level. Image comparison is logged in the logbook. 1.3 Logging of user changes Configuration changes to users and authorization levels are logged in the logbook. The log records contains the following information: The name of the user who did the change, Timestamp of the change, Item changed: user name or authorization level name, Category of change: creation, update or delete. The logging is performed also in case of remote configuration. 1.4 Supporting BVIP firmware 5.60 BRS 8.11 is tested and released with BVIP firmware version 5.60. BRS 8.11 recognizes the new starlight cameras during network scan: Dinion HD 720p (NBN-733V-P) FlexiDome HD 720p RD (NDN-733V0x-P) 1.5 Supporting VIP-X16XF-E BRS 8.11 supports the new 16 channel economy encoder VIP-X16XF-E. 2 Change requests and bug fixes 2.1 Recording stop from H.264 / Onvif devices fixed Bug in VideoSDKModule (time stamps of IP devices in the future) is fixed in BRS v8.11. 2.2 Bug in configuration fixed Bug in Authorization levels is fixed in BRS v8.11. 2.3 Artifacts when de-interlacing H.264 images Bug in ImageDecoder is fixed in BRS v8.11.
