  • Page 21: Adjusting The Udp Ts Rate

    DOC-USR-00XX-0X 6.7 Adjusting the UDP TS Rate The Z3-MVE-100R includes a parameter to adjust the TS rate independent of the video bitrate. This can be found just below “PMT PID” when “UDP” is selected as the output format. Normally, this value is set to 25% to 33% above the sum of the video and audio bitrate. For example, the default value out of the factory is a value of 10Mbps, corresponding to 8Mbps for the video.

  • Page 22: Figure 20 Ts Rate And Lower Bit Rate Reflected In Vlc

    The value of TS Rate must be higher than (video bitrate + audio bit rate) * 1.25. If an attempt is made to input a value less than this, the error message “TS rate too small to carry elementary streams” will appear. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Z3 Technology, LLC ♦ 100 N 8 ST, STE 250 ♦ Lincoln, NE 68508-1369 USA ♦ +1.402.323.0702...
