[Video Server Streaming Port Settings]
The VSS port enables connecting the GV-Video Server to the GV-System. The default
setting is 10000.
[UPnP Settings]
UPNP:
UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) is a networking architecture that provides
compatibility among networking equipment, software and peripherals of the 400+
vendors that are part of the Universal Plug and Play Forum. It means that they are
listed in the network devices table for the operating system (such as Windows XP)
supported by this function. Enabling this function, you can connect to the GV-Video
Server directly by clicking on the GV-Video Server listed in the network devices table.
DLNA:
allows the DLNA certified devices to automatically communicate with each
other once connected to the same network. The function is currently supported with
Windows Media Player for recording playback.
Note:
1. The DLNA function is only supported with Windows Media Player version 1.1 or
later. You must have installed GeoVision codec from the Software CD/DVD or
have accessed the GV-Video Server Web interface on the computer with Windows
Media Player.
2. The DLNA function does not support the connection to TV.
[QoS Settings]
The Quality of Service (QoS) is a bandwidth control mechanism that guarantees delay-
sensitive data flows such as voice and video streams, obtain a certain amount of
bandwidth to keep the streaming smooth.
To apply QoS to the GV-Video Server, all network routers must support QoS and QoS
must be enabled on these devices. To enable the QoS on the GV-Video Server, enter a
Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value. This value is a field in an IP packet that
enables different levels of services for the network traffic. When the video stream from the
GV-Video Server reaches a router, the DSCP value will tell the router what service level to
be applied, e.g. the bandwidth amount. This value ranges from 0 to 63 in decimal format.
The default value is 0, meaning QoS is disabled.
