MPEG4 NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide 346.2 Image Configuration Rate Control Select the Rate control by selecting the VBR [Variable Bit Rate] or CBR [Constant Bit Rate] control. In VBR mode, the picture quality is fixed with fixed quantization value and the bit rate varies automatically in reaction to the complexity of video to maintain the set quality. Thus using the more bandwidth for complex video and less bandwidth for lower activity video. VBR is appropriate for storage applications. VBR can be used where video needs to be streamed over a fixed-bandwidth link. In CBR Mode, the bit rate is fixed irrespective of image complexity, and the picture quality is automatically adjusted by the MPEG4 encoder on a frame-by-frame basis to maintain the pre-set average bit rate. Thus the network bandwidth consumption is always fixed & predictable. CBR is of particular benefit where video needs to be streamed over a fixed-bandwidth link.
MPEG4 NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide 35Quality: Set the quality of encoding images. Lower is the number higher is the quality. This option is available when user selects the VBR rate control. Note that to achieve the set quality, the maximum bit rate can be used in VBR mode. Thus, the higher the set quality is, the more bandwidth usage on network. Bit rate: Set the target bit rate of encoding video. This option is available in CBR mode only. You can set the bit rate values from 30 kbps up to 5100 kbps at the interval of 30 kbps. The higher bit rate assures higher quality of live video but on the expense of the more network bandwidth usage. Controlling the maximum bit rate is the good idea for controlling the bandwidth used by Mpeg4 video stream. As the bit rate is fixed, the frame rate and image quality can be affected adversely. That is, the frame rate and image quality are traded off when the bit rate is fixed. Resolution Select the resolution for output video. Mpeg4 network IP camera support two type of image resolution, D1[720x480] & CIF[352x240]. Frame rate: Select frame rate according to the choice. The higher value of frame rate assures smoother video. But the more fps needs the more network-bandwidth. GOP Set the size of GOP (Group of Pictures). MPEG4 video stream consist continuous GOP and one GOP consists of one I frame and P frames. This value equals to the period of I frame. The more GOP size is given the little network-bandwidth will be occupied. Setting high value of GOP will save considerable network bandwidth. Display Name/Location Stamp: Select ‘On’ if you want to display camera name & location on the top of the transmitted images.
