  • Page 37: Video Streaming

    The video streaming function provides the streaming of audio and video data to the net- work without requesting the data actively with a RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) or DaVid Protocol capable client (e.g. Dallmeier recorder or PView). Note that the format of the RTP payload to be transported must correspond with the encod- ing standard.
  • Page 38: Transfer Method

    DF4900HD / DF4500HD The transfer format defines the RTP payload to be transported. RTP/H264 The video data is packetized by the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) for a H.264 Video Elementary Stream. Audio data is not transferred. The data must be encoded to H.264 format.
  • Page 39: Ttl

    DF4900HD / DF4500HD 9.3.3  The TTL value (Time To Live) defines the lifetime of an IP packet. Every router an IP packet passes through reduces the time to live value by one (1). If the value is zero (0), the IP packet is discarded.

    DF4900HD / DF4500HD Variable bit rates make better use of the available hard disk space. GoP-size The GOP-size (Group Of Pictures) specifies how images are used to generate the H.264 data stream. The higher the GOP-size is, the better the image quality. However, a higher GOP-size will also result in an increase in the delay.
