  • Page 13: Mpeg4 Encoder

    2.2 MPEG4 Encoder The MPEG4 Encoder menu provides access to the GV1000 MPEG4 encoder allowing the user to configure the encoder, to start and stop video streaming and to take JPEG shots. Audio encoding is not currently available on the GV1000 although audio may be supported in future releases.

  • Page 14: Predefined Configurations

    MPEG4 Encoder menu. 2.2.3 Codec There are currently two codecs that may be used with the GV1000. MPEG4 provides the optimal performance in terms of video quality at very low bit rates when compared to H.263.

  • Page 15: Bit Rate

    Video frame rates of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 frames per second are supported by the GV1000. Increasing the frame rate will improve the quality of the video although under most conditions a frame rate of either 10 or 15 frames per second should be used.

  • Page 16: I Frame Detect

    2.2.11 I Frame Detect Enabling I Frame Detect will instruct the GV1000 to monitor the video being encoded for high motion segments. If the GV1000 detects a large content change from frame to frame an I frame will be produced regardless of the GOP value selected. This improves the video quality during high motion segments when larger GOP values are selected.
