When the fader is set to
unlimited
, the bit rate depends on the complexity (detail and
motion) of the source image. As the fader is adjusted to reduce the maximum bit rate, the
encoder progressively drops frames in order to limit the instantaneous bit rate. The number
of frames dropped depends on the source image complexity.
NOTE:
Extron advises against using more than 300 Mbps for most applications. Check
with your network administrator to determine the available bandwidth.
The
Video Quality
fader adjusts the amount of spatial compression that is applied to the
source image. Video Quality is set in steps ranging from low to high quality.
The
low
setting (one star) provides the lowest
image quality (with the highest compression).
The
high
setting (four stars) provides the highest
image quality (with the lowest compression).
Either of two transform types can be selected using the transform drop-down list:
•
Graphics
is optimized for text and sharp lines, as are present on most computer
screens.
•
Video
is optimized for smooth tone changes such as is present in movies and other
video content.
Monitoring the bit rate
The bit rate of the streamed image is monitored in the
Streams
pane of the
Bandwidth
tab.

Figure 33. Bandwidth Streams
The
Streams
list shows network statistics for current RTP streams. For each RTP stream,
three values are presented: the transmit bandwidth (BW[Mbps]), the packet drop percentage
(Drop %) and the round trip delay time in microseconds (RTT[us]). The transmit bandwidth is
the true bandwidth of the source measured over the last second.
All of this data may not have arrived at the destination if the link shows packets are being
dropped. Most networks show a small amount of dropped traffic, but when this loss rate
rises above 5%, it indicates that the capacity of the link has probably been exceeded.
A lightly loaded network shows a fairly constant RTT. When this value starts to rise or
fluctuates excessively it indicates the network is congested. Usually when network capacity
has just been exceeded, the RTT rises to a large value just before packets start being
dropped. The link latency rises as RTT increases.
