Eliminate any black borders surrounding the image, by making Offset adjustments. See the online help for
more information.

Advanced - MPEG-4 Settings

Tools for adjusting the MPEG-4 settings and for controlling the video bit rate.
The MPEG-4 standard provides many different coding tools for various applications in different situations. As
most MPEG-4 clients do not support all of these tools, it is usual to instead define and use subsets for different
clients or groups of clients. These settings allow you to define the type of viewing client to use.
Adjusting the maximum bit rate and setting it to variable or constant is a good way of controlling the
bandwidth used by the MPEG-4 video stream.
For more information on these advanced settings, please see the online help.

Overlay/Mask Settings

Overlay/Mask Type
Overlay/Mask Type allows you to place an overlay, or up
to three privacy masks over the video image:
• Upload and place an image as an overlay -
usually used to provide extra information in the
video image.
• Place up to three privacy masks - up to 3 con-
figurable masks can be used to conceal different
areas of the video image.
Selecting the overlay/mask type from the menu will
display further settings available for the selected type.
See the online help for further information.
Note:
If you need to see an area of the video that is covered by an overlay or mask, a privacy mask cannot be bypassed. An overlay image,
however, can be bypassed via the AXIS VAPIX. See the Video Developer section on the Axis Web site for more information.
