Page 98 VIVOTEK–Built with Reliability ■ Dynamic Intra frame period High quality motion codecs, such as H.265, utilize the redundancies between video frames to deliver video streams at a balance of quality and bit rate. The encoding parameters are summarized and illustrated below. The I-frames are completely self- referential and they are largest in size.
Page 99 VIVOTEK–Built with Reliability Smart codec effectively reduces the quality of the whole or the non-interested areas on a ■ screen and therefore reduces the bandwidth consumed. You can manually specify the video quality for the foreground and the background areas.
