The VNE 250 can apply various control modes to manage the bit rate. These control modes
are selected in the
Mode
drop-down list.
•
None
— no bandwidth management policy is followed apart from the underlying
compression settings.
•
Manual Frame Drop
— allows the user to specify the precise fraction of frames to
drop. This doesn't manage the average bandwidth at a fixed level, but does result in
a smoother update during rapidly changing video content types. Enter the percentage
of frames to discard in the
Frame Drop Percentage
field. For example, a value of 95
(95%) discards 19 out of every 20 frames, reducing a 60 frames per second (fps) video
signal to 3 fps.
NOTE:
Slowing the frame rate to 1 fps can cause the decoder to behave as if the
source stream has been interrupted and it may flash up the
No Source
splash
screen.
•
Shared Flow rate
— limits the total network video traffic for all streams from this
source to the flow rate (in Mbps) specified in the
Target Bandwidth
field. Frames are
dropped if the instantaneous data rate is higher than the flow rate.
•
Peak Flow rate
— limits the network video traffic for a single stream from this source
to the flow rate specified in the
Target Bandwidth
field. Frames are dropped if the
instantaneous data rate is higher than the flow rate.
•
PBR-F
— Dynamically modifies the compression settings to limit the transmit bandwidth
to the specified rate or below. The specified compression setting is used as the
minimum compression value. The filter averages the bit rate over a period of 1 second.
•
PBR-F (FD)
- Same as
PBR-F
except frames are dropped when a larger reduction than
can be achieved with just compression settings is required.
Flow rate control modes (shared flow rate and peak flow rate modes) limit the
instantaneous traffic on the network and are useful where the network pipe between
source and display has limited bandwidth and drops traffic when this rate is exceeded.
Non-flow rate control modes (none, manual frame drop, PBR-F, and PBR-F (FD) limit
the average bandwidth, but the instantaneous bandwidth can be high. Non-flowrate
control modes are best used on a LAN where the user does not wish the VNE 250 to
consume excess bandwidth.
NOTE: The actual bandwidth usage for unicast transports is multiplied by the
number of data stream destinations. For example, if the encoder has two unicast
RTP connections plus a TCP connection, it sends three data streams across the
network and requires bandwidth for each stream.
