AXIS 241Q/241S - Glossary
Ethernet - Ethernet is the most widely installed local area network technology. An Ethernet LAN typically uses special grades
of twisted pair wires. The most commonly installed Ethernet systems are 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T10, which provide
transmission speeds up to 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps respectively.
ETRAX (Ethernet Token Ring AXIS) - The ETRAX chip is the cornerstone of Axis technology and the 'brain' in nearly all
Axis products. A multipurpose Linux chip with integrated Ethernet networking and extremely flexible I/O options.
Factory default settings - These are the settings that originally applied for a device when it was first delivered from the
factory. If it should become necessary to reset a device to its factory default settings, this will, for many devices, completely
reset any settings that were changed by the user.
Firewall - A firewall works as a barrier between networks, e.g. between a Local Area Network and the Internet. The firewall
ensures that only authorized users are allowed to access the one network from the other. A firewall can be software running
on a computer, or it can be a standalone hardware device.
Fixed iris - See Autoiris.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) - FTP is an application protocol that uses the TCP/IP protocols, used to exchange files between
computers/devices on networks.
Frame - A frame is a complete video image. In the 2:1 interlaced scanning format of the RS-170 and CCIR formats, a frame
is made up of two separate fields of 262.5 or 312.5 lines interlaced at 60 or 50 Hz to form a complete frame, which appears
at 30 or 25 Hz. In video cameras with a progressive scan, each frame is scanned line-by-line and not interlaced; most are
also displayed at 30 and 25 Hz.
Frame rate - The frame rate used to describe the frequency at which a video stream is updated is measured in frames per
second (fps). A higher frame rate is advantageous when there is movement in the video stream, as it maintains image quality
throughout.
Gain - Gain is the amplification factor and the extent to which an analog amplifier boosts the strength of a signal.
Amplification factors are usually expressed in terms of power. The decibel (dB) is the most common way of quantifying the
gain of an amplifier.
Gateway - A gateway is a point in a network that acts as an entry point to another network. In a corporate network for
example, a computer server acting as a gateway often also acts as a proxy server and a firewall server. A gateway is often
associated with both a router, which knows where to direct a given packet of data that arrives at the gateway, and a switch,
which furnishes the actual path in and out of the gateway for a given packet.
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) - GIF is one of the most common file formats used for images in web pages. There are
two versions of the format, 87a and 89a. Version 89a supports animations, i.e. a short sequence of images within a single GIF
file. A GIF89a can also be specified for interlaced presentation.
GOV (Group Of VOPs) - A group of VOPs is the basic unit of an MPEG-4 video stream. The GOV contains different types and
numbers of VOPs (I-VOPs, P-VOPs) as determined by the GOV length and GOV structure. See also VOP.
GOV length - The GOV length determines the number of images (VOPs) in the GOV structure.
See also GOV and VOP.
GOV structure - The GOV structure describes the composition of an MPEG-4 video stream, as regards the type of images
(I-VOPs or P-VOPs) included in the stream, and their internal order. See also GOV and VOP.
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) - HTML is the set of "markup" symbols or codes inserted in a file intended for display
in web browser. The markup tells the browser how to display the page's words and images for the user.
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) - HTTP is the set of rules for exchanging files (text, graphic images, sound, video, and
other multimedia files) on the web. The HTTP protocol runs on top of the TCP/IP suite of protocols.
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) - HTTPS is a protocol used by web browsers and servers to encrypt and
decrypt user page requests and the pages returned by the server. The encrypted exchange of information is governed by the
use of an HTTPS certificate (issued by a Certificate Authority), which guarantees the authenticity of the server.
Hub - A (netw
ork) hub is used to connect multiple devices to the network. The hub transmits all data to all devices connected
to it, whereas a switch will only transmit the data to the device it is specifically intended for.
IEEE 802.11 - A family of standards for wireless LANs. The 802.11a standard supports 1 or 2 Mbit/s transmission on the 5
GHz band. IEEE 802.11b supports data rates up to11 Mbit/s on the 2.4 GHz band, while 802.11g allows up to 54 Mbit/s on
the 2.4 GHz band.
