Image
You can modify the image resolution and compression, and rotate the image from the Image tab (Video & Audio > Video Stream).
Setting the compression level affects the image quality and bandwidth; the lower the compressio n , the higher the image quality
with higher bandwidth requirements.
To avoid bandwidth problems on the netw ork, you can limit the frame rate all owed to each viewer. The maximum frame rate ca n be
set to Unlimited, or you can limit the frame rate to a value.
An image or text can be superimposed over the image as overlay. See Overlay, on page 19.
Save your settings before they can take effect.
H.264
H.264, also known as MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC, is a video compression standard that provides high quality video streams at low bit rates.
An H.264 video stream consis ts of different types of frames such as I-frames, P-frames and B-frames . An I-frame is a complete ima ge
whereas P-frames and B-frames only contain the differences from previous/future frames.
The GOV length is the number o f f rames between two consecutive I-frames. Increasing the GOV length may save considerably o n
bandwidth requirements in some cases, but may als o have an adverse affect on image q uality.
ThebitratecanbesetasVariable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR). VBR adjusts the bit rate according to the image
complexity, using up more bandwidth for incre ased a ctivity in the imag e , and le ss for lo we r ima ge a ctivity. CB R a llow s you to s et a
fixed Target bit rate that consumes a predictable amount of bandwidth. As the bit rate would usually need to increas e for increased
image activity, but in this case cannot, frame rate and image quality are affected negatively. To partly compensate for this, it is
possible to prioritize either frame rate or image quality. Not setting a priority means that frame r ate and image quality are equally
affected. Yo u must save your settings before they can take effect.
The current bit rate can be set to appear as text overlay. To do this, select the In
clude text check box option under Overlay
Settings and enter the modifier#b in the field.
MJPEG
Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or comple x scenery. Adjusting the m a ximum frame size helps to control the
bandwidth and storag e used by the Motion JPEG vi
deo stream in these situations. Setting the frame size to the Default setting
provides consistently good image quality at the expense of increased bandwidth and storage usage in low light. Limiting the frame
size optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, but may give poor image quality. To prevent increased bandwidth and storage usage,
the maximum frame size should be s et to an o
ptimal value.
Stream Profiles
There are four pre-programmed stream profiles available for quick set up. The settings for these can be adjusted. New customized
profiles can also be created. Each profile has a descriptive name, indicating its purpose.
•Thestreamprofiles can be accessed from the Stream profile drop-down list in the Live View page.
• To add, copy, modify, and remove stream profiles go to Video & Audio > Stream Profiles.
• To select the default stream pr ofile go to Live View Config > Stream Profile and choose the profile from the drop-down list.
