Management Application.
IP
Internet Protocol —protocol (or standard)
specifying the format and addressing scheme
used for sending data packets across
networks. IP is often combined with another
protocol, TCP. The combination, known as
TCP/IP, allows data packets to be sent back
and forth between two points on a network for
longer periods of time and is used when
connecting computers and other devices on
the internet.
IP address
Internet Protocol address. The identifier for a
computer or device on a network. It is used by
the TCP/IP protocol for routing data traffic to
the intended destination. An IP address
consists of four numbers, each between 0 and
256, separated by periods (example:
192.168.212.2).
IPIX
A technology that allows the creation and
viewing of 360-degree panomorph (fisheye)
images.
J
JPEG
(Also JPG) Joint Photographic Experts
Group
—widely used lossy compression
technique for images.
K
Keyframe
Used in the MPEG standard for digital video
compression, a keyframe is a single frame
stored at specified intervals. The keyframe
records the entire view of the camera, whereas
the frames between the keyframes record only
the pixels that change. This helps greatly
reduce the size of MPEG files.
M
MAC address
Media Access Control address —12-character
hexadecimal number uniquely identifying each
device on a network.
Manual events
You can generate an event manually from the
client. These events are called manual events.
Master/Slave
A setup of servers where one server (the
master server) is of higher importance than the
remaining servers (the slave servers). With a
master/slave setup in Milestone Husky
product, it is possible to combine several
Milestone Husky product servers and extend
the number of cameras you can use beyond
the maximum allowed number of cameras for a
single server. In such a setup, clients will still
have a single point of contact: they connect to
the master server but also get access,
transparently, to cameras and recordings on
the slave servers.
Matrix
A feature that enables the control of live
camera views on remote computers for
distributed viewing. Once configured, you can
view Matrix-triggered live video in XProtect
Smart Client.
Matrix recipient
A computer equipped with XProtect Smart
Client software and therefore capable of
displaying Matrix-triggered live video.
MJPEG
Motion JPEG —compressed video format
where each frame is a separately compressed
JPEG image. The method used is quite similar
