Important:
Although transcoding works with all streaming formats, the
best results and least CPU
overhead
are possible with MJPEG streaming. Also the transcoding bandwidth limit must be chosen
carefully.
Therefore
we suggest:
• MJPEG streaming format.
• Limit the transcoding bandwidth to app. 70% of the available server-client connection
bandwidth
.
For connections, like Internet connections, with heavily varying bandwidth it is much better to use a
lower limit than a higher limit. With low limits of 256 kbit/s or 128 kbit/s very good results are possible.
Some customers have even used 56 kbit/s or 30 kbit/s with transcoding. As mentioned above the
limits are defined in
11.2 Setting Observer server parameters
on page 110.
