Streaming Tab; Adaptive Rate Control; Image Size; Image Quality - Sony Ipela SNC-ER585 User Manual

Note
While Video out in the Installation tab is set to On,
Image 2 is not available (SNC-ZP550/ZR550).
Codec
Select JPEG, MPEG4, H.264 or Off. Note that Image
1 cannot be set to Off.
Note
The image size and frame rate for Image 2 codec and
subsequent codecs may be restricted depending on the
type of codec, image size and/or frame rate selected for
Image 1.

Image size

You can select the size of the image sent from the
camera.
If different image sizes are set for Image 1 and 2, only
640 × 480 or smaller size can be set for Image 2.
Frame rate
Set the frame rate of the image.
Selectable frame rates are as follows:
SNC-EP521/ER521:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 25 (fps)
SNC-EP520/ER520:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 (fps)
If you are using SNC-EP550/EP580/ER550/ER580/
ER585/ER585H/ZP550/ZR550 and the camera
operating mode is set to 25 fps:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 25 (fps)
If you are using SNC-EP550/EP580/ER550/ER580/

"fps" is a unit indicating the number of frames
transmitted per second.
Bit rate
Set the bit rate of MPEG4 or H.264 image transmission
for a line. When the bit rate is set to a high level, better
image quality can be enjoyed.
Selectable bit rates are as follows:
64, 128, 256, 384, 512, 768, 1024, 1536, 2048, 3072,

Setting the Camera Image and Audio — Camera Menu

Adaptive rate control

This function adjusts the frame rate and the bit rate
automatically so that the camera plays back a smooth
image to suit the connected computer environment. If
On is selected, the MPEG4 or H.264 image rate is
automatically adjusted.
Notes
• The actual frame rate and bit rate may be different
depending on the image size, shooting scene, or
network condition.
• When Adaptive rate control is set to On, the actual
frame rate and bit rate change within the range that
does not exceed the values set in Frame rate and Bit
rate.
• When setting Image 2, set the frame rate of Image 1 to
15 fps or less. (SNC-EP520/EP521/ER520/ER521)

Image quality

Set the JPEG image quality.
Selectable values are from Level 1 to Level 10.
When Level 10 is selected, the best image quality is
achieved.
Bandwidth control
Limits the network bandwidth for the JPEG image data
output from the camera.
Note
Audio may be interrupted depending on the selected
bandwidth. In this case, select a wider bandwidth.
OK/Cancel
See "Buttons common to every menu" on page 35.

Streaming Tab

Use this tab to set the items for the transmission by
unicast or multicast.
Unicast streaming

H.264 video data and audio data to be used when
Unicast is selected from the Connection drop-down list
