A/V Settings
Basic
Audio: Enables and Disables the Audio stream
Resolution : There are 4 different
resolutions to choose from:
D1 :720x480 NTSC/720x576 PAL
VGA : 640x480
SIF :352x240 NTSC/352x288 PAL
QSIF: 176x112 NTSC/176x144 PAL
Frame Rate: The frame rate can be set between 1-30fps.
Encoder Format: Format can be selected for MPEG4 or MJPEG
Bitrate: There are 6
different constant bitrates to choose from between 64Kbps and 1Mbps,
and 4 variable bitrates between Low and High quality.
If you are planning on using the device on an Internet connection
It is recommended that you select a constant bitrate that corresponds
to your actual upload speed. It is also recommended that you modify
the frame rate and resolution as well, otherwise the video stream may
become blocky or otherwise distorted. The recommended values are as
follows:
64Kbps: <10 fps QSIF (<5 fps SIF)
128Kbps: <15/12 fps QSIF (<10 fps SIF)
256Kbps: <10 fps SIF (<5 fps VGA, 30/25 fps qsif)
512Kbps: <15/12 fps SIF (<10 fps D1/VGA)
768Kbps: <10 fps D1/VGA (30/25 fps SIF)
1Mbps: <15/12 fps D1/VGA
For higher frame rate use a variable bitrate instead. However, this is
not recommended for Internet use.
For Good Quality, full resolution (D1), and full frame rate (30/25 fps)
it is recommended that not more than 4 users connect simultaneously.
For High Quality, full resolution (D1), and full frame rate (30/25 fps)
it is recommended that not more than 2 users connect simultaneously.

Advanced
Interlace mode: There are two modes available: Interlaced
or Progressive.
Interlaced mode is a storage mode. An interlaced video stream
contains fields rather than frames, with each field containing
half of the lines of a frame.
A progressive video stream consists of only full frames.
Interlaced video streams can bring a lower bitrate but may
cause lower quality.
TV Standard Select the TV mode
according to your needs, options are NTSC, PAL and SECAM
MPEG Sequence mode: There are 2 different
modes available:
I-frames only
I-frames and P-frames
P-frames, or predictive frames, are predicted based on prior
P or I-frames plus some additional data. They have a much
higher compression ratio than I-frames.
I-frame only mode has very little compression resulting in
large file sizes.
I-frame and P-frame mode offers relatively good compression
with medium file sizes. Although this requires more work on
the host PC to decode the video.
GOP Size: GOP stands for Group Of
Pictures. It defines the number of frames from one I-frame
to the next. Since an I-frame uses very little compression,
while P/B frames use much higher compression, a larger GOP
size, results in smaller file sizes. For more information
about I/P/B-frames, see below.
For MPEG-4 there is no maximum GOP size defined. It can be
as low as 1 V just an I-frame - or into the thousands. However,
as the GOP size increases, the compression increases, and
therefore the more likelihood of errors. A higher GOP size
also results in higher buffering times.
For DVDs the GOP size is 15. The default on the MVS is set
to 60, which offers fair compression with a low likelihood
of errors.
Peak Bitrate - This is used to set a maximum
bitrate that can be achieved. This is useful for setting bitrates
between the values that are available from the Video Encoder
bitrate list.

Image Adjustment
Video Server P-1401
Contrast, brightness, Hue and
Saturation can be adjusted.
Values run from -100 through 100.
Rotation: Select the Digital Rotaion for the camera: 1- 90
Degrees; 2- 180 Degress; 3- 270 Degrees; 4 - 360 Degrees.
Load Default: sets the image adjustments back to factory
default.
IP Camera P-400

Contrast, brightness, Hue and Saturation can be adjusted.
Values run from -100 through 100.
Rotation: Select the Digital Rotaion for the camera: 1- 90
Degrees; 2- 180 Degress; 3- 270 Degrees; 4 - 360 Degrees.
Load Default: sets the image adjustments back to factory
default.
Electronic Shutter: The shutter will automatically adjust
the exposure of the built-in CCD to get the better illumination
when set to Open.
Auto Gain Control: Normally “off” with maximum 10db gain,
“on” will increase to maximum 24db. It's useful to increase
sensitivity in low illumination environments (set to “on”),
but more gain will produce more noise.
Note: When using Lens with DC-Driver Auto IRIS capabilities in
low light conditions, you should disable AES to get optimal lens performance.
In strong light conditions it should be enabled to prevent color loss.
PTZ Settings:

Change the serial port mode and configure the serial port
settings. Revise your PTZ device for the type of data require.
External Sources

The Video Source feature allows the user to set additional
channels for the device.
Information such as
IP address: Enter a valid IP address from an IP Camera or
Video Server
Port: Enter the port number used for the IP address to display
the video
Video Type: select MJPEG and MPEG4.
