may be set to white, black, transparent or semitransparent. The

Video Stream
The Maximum video stream time can be set
as Unlimited, or set a maximum stream time
per session in seconds, minutes or hours. When the set time has expired, a new stream on
the Live View page can be started by refreshing the page in the web browser. Note that the
maximum video stream time does not apply to clients connecting via multicast.
To avoid bandwidth problems on the network, the
frame rate allowed to each viewer can
also be limited. Select either Unlimited or define a maximum frame rate per viewer.

Advanced
MPEG-4 settings
You can adjust the MPEG-4 settings and control the video bit rate on
this page.
The MPEG-4 standard provides many different coding
tools for various applications in
different situations. As most MPEG-4 clients do not support all these tools, it is usual to
instead define and use subsets for different clients or groups of clients. These settings allow
you to define the type of viewing client to use.
Adjusting the maximum bit rate and setting it to
a variable or constant is a good way of
controlling the bandwidth used by the MPEG-4 video stream.
