Enable Preview
1. Select ON to enable to display video on the monitor that is connected to the composite or HD-SDI video
port.
2. Select the Output format accordingly in the end of the Video page.
Note that when Enable Preview is ON , dual streaming is not available.
When the video is transmitted directly to the monitor through BNC cable, the video does not go thorough
network and encoding. Therefore, there is less delay and no an effect from network limitation.
l
Resolution
Select video encoding resolution.
l
Framerate
Determine the maximum number of frames per second for the video stream.
1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,15,20,25 and 30 frame rate can be selected. The actual frame rate of video can be less
than the maximum frame rate set due to the network bandwidth limitation
l
Preference
Select encoding mode to control video quality or bitrate: Quality(VBR) or Bit rate(CBR).
If ‘Bitrate’ selected, the video encoding will be effected by the ‘Bitrate’ value entered. Therefore, “Bitrate”
mode corresponds to CBR (Constant Bit rate) encoding.
If ‘Quality’ selected, the video encoding will be effected by the quality of image selected. Therefore,
“Quality” mode corresponds to VBR (Variable Bit Rate) encoding.
l
Quality
Select Video quality. 7 levels of quality are available.
Quality mode (VBR encoding) tries to encode every frame in a constant quality. Therefore, resulting
bitrate may vary a lot depending on the complexity or activity changes in the input video. It is preferred
when constant video quality is required and network bandwidth is enough for delivering the stream of
highly varying bitrate.
l
Bit rate
Determine bitrate value between 32 ~ 10240kbps.
Bitrate mode (CBR encoding) allows you to set a fixed target bitrate that consumes a predictable amount
of bandwidth. In order to keep the bitrate limit, video quality is controlled dynamically according to the
complexity or activity changes in the input video.
l
I-Frame Interval
Determine I-frame Interval between 1 and 255.
