Motion JPEG
This format uses standard JPEG still images in the video stream. These images then are displayed
and updated at a rate sufficient to create a stream that shows constantly updated motion.
The Motion JPEG stream uses considerable amounts of bandwidth, but also provides excellent
image quality and access to every individual image contained in the stream.
Multiple clients accessing Motion JPEG streams could use different image settings.
H.264
This is a video compression standard that makes good use of bandwidth and could provide
high-quality video streams at less than 1 Mbit/s.
The H.264 standard provides the scope for a large range of different coding tools for use by various
applications in different situations, and the GANZ PixelPro provides certain subsets of these tools.
Using H.264, it is also possible to control the bit rate, which in turn allows the amount of bandwidth
usage to be controlled. CBR (Constant Bit Rate) is used to achieve a specific bit rate by varying the
quality of the H.264 stream. While using VBR (Variable Bit Rate), the quality of the video stream is
kept as constant as possible, at the cost of a varying bit rate.
Size
Video output resolution. See next page for camera resolution tables.
Frame Rate
2.5 ~ 30fps in normal mode (1 ~ 30fps in slow shutter mode)
NOTE:
If the slow shutter mode is turned on and the low light condition is met, the image rate
automatically goes down. In this case, the image is half of the normal mode.
GOP Size
1 ~ 60 frames
Bitrate Control
(CBR or VBR)
When using H.264 compression, if there is only limited bandwidth available, a constant bit rate
(CBR) is recommended, although this may compromise image quality. Use a variable bit rate
(VBR) for the best possibly image quality.
Average Bitrate
(512Kbps ~ 8Mbps)
Recommended bit rate for VGA (640x480): 800Kbps ~ 1Mbps
Recommended bit rate for 720p (1280x720): 3Mbps ~ 4Mbps
Recommended bit rate for 1080p (1920x1080): 6Mbps ~ 8Mbps
Anti-Flicker Mode
60Hz: NTSC
50Hz: PAL or “flicker-free” mode (to use the camera in locations lit by fluorescent lighting).
Video Mirroring
Select Video Mirroring mode NONE/ HORIZONTAL / VERTICAL / FLIP(H+V)
Bandwidth Limit
Limit the bandwidth that the GANZ PixelPro can use during a network connection.
Max Bandwidth
Specify the maximum bandwidth that the GANZ PixelPro can use during a network connection.
