Video Configure

The Video Configure page is where
the IP encoder parameters can be
configured.
The encoder supports H.264
encoding, to initiate a stream with
an IP address of 192.168.1.195 the
required URL is:
rtsp://192.168.1.195/h264
It is possible to change the
Encoder Type to any one of the
following options:
• HD IP Camera
• PAL Input
• NTSC Input
• Guardian Node
• SWZ HD Camera
• LVDS Input 25Hz
• LVDS Input 29.97Hz
• SDI Input 25Hz
• SDI Input 29.97Hz
For normal operation it is not necessary to adjust the Encoder Type.
For correct camera operation it is important that the Encoder Type matches the hardware
configuration. For the MFR camera this is always an LVDS Input type of either 25Hz or 29.97Hz,
this allows adjustment to match mains frequency regional differences.
The frame rate frequency of 25Hz or 29.97Hz must match the frame rate frequency the MFR
camera module has been set to. This can be configured in the Output Mode in the
Options menu.
The RTSP Port is the port number the IP video stream will be transmitted on, this has the default
port number 554, which can be configured to another port number as required.
The Video page contains parameters for each encoder type. The encoder has two fundamental
modes of operation:
• Constant Bitrate. This is the normal mode of operation, it will output a constant IP video stream
bit rate.
• Constant Quality. In this mode the bit rate is varied in a effort to maintain a constant quality.
The target quality is set using a number between 0 to 51, the lower the number the higher
the quality, this is set in the quality field. Amendments to this value are only allowed when the
constant quality mode is enabled. In this mode the 'ceiling' bit rate is controlled by the value set
in the Bitrate field, the encoder will attempt to limit the maximum bit rate to this value.
