- Codec:
The codec settings are separated into MPEG4 and H.264.
H.264 is also known as MPEG-4 Part 10. This is the new generation compression standard
for digital video. This function offers higher video resolution than Motion JPEG or MPEG-4 at
the same bit rate and bandwidth, or the same quality video at a lower bit rate.
- Profile:
There are 4 pre-programmed stream profiles available for quick set-up.
Choose the form of video encoding you wish to use from the drop-down list:
* H.264 HP (High Profile): The primary profile for broadcast and disc storage applications,
particularly for high-definition television applications (for example, this is the profile
adopted by the Blu-ray Disc storage format and the DVB HDTV broadcast service).
* H.264 MP (Main Profile):
Primarily for low-cost applications that requires additional error robustness, this profile is
used rarely in videoconferencing and mobile applications, it does add additional error
resilience tools to the Constrained Baseline Profile. The importance of this profile is fading
after the Constrained Baseline Profile has been defined.
