Terms used in these operating instructions
HDD
Refers to a hard disk drive (mass storage medium). The unit records camera pictures on a hard disk rather than on
video tape.
Recording rate (ips, I-Flame)
Refers to the unit that determines the smoothness with which the recorded images are played back. "ips" is used to
express the number of frames recorded per second. The higher the number, the smoother the movement, but the
available recording time becomes shorter. "I-Frame" is used to express the refresh interval of MPEG-4 image display
set on the camera.
Resolution
Resolution refers to the degree of fineness and quality of the camera pictures recorded by this unit. This unit dis-
plays the resolution in number of dots. For example, if the number of horizontal dots is 640 and the number of verti-
cal dots is 480, the display reads 640 x 480.
M-JPEG
A video codec that compresses video fields from the camera into independent JPEG images sequentially by query
from the unit. Network load will be reduced comparing with the method that obtains JPEG images independently
from the camera. However, the transmission rate will fluctuate depending on the state of the camera. Some cameras
phrase this video codec as just "JPEG".
