  • Page 67 VIVOTEK ■ Smart stream II ■ Dynamic Intra frame period High quality motion codecs, such as H.264, 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 68 VIVOTEK With the H.264 codec in an optimal scenario and when Dynamic Intra frame is combined with the Smart Stream function, an 80% of bandwidth saving can be achieved compared with using H.264 without enabling these bandwidth-saving features. • Smart codec: Smart codec effectively reduces the quality of the whole or the non- interested areas on a screen and therefore reduces the bandwidth consumed.

  • Page 71 VIVOTEK If the JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera sends consecutive JPEG images to the client, producing a moving effect similar to a filmstrip. Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees the same image quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage. Because the media contents are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to the client.
