Page 5: Overview
The H.264 compression format drastically reduces the file sizes and conserves valuable bandwidth and storage space. The VS8401 supports simultaneous dual streams, while the VS8801 supports single stream to be transmitted in H.264, MPEG-4 and MJPEG formats for versatile applications. The stream can also be individually configured with frame rates, resolution, and image quality so as to meet different platforms or bandwidth constraints.

Page 43 VIVOTEK QoS (Quality of Service) Advanced Mode Quality of Service refers to a resource reservation control mechanism, which guarantees a certain quality to different services on the network. Quality of service guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufficient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications. Quality can be defined as, for instance, a maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet dropping, etc.
Page 44 VIVOTEK QoS/DSCP (the DiffServ model) DSCP-ECN defines QoS at Layer 3 (Network Layer). The Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model is based on packet marking and router queuing disciplines. The marking is done by adding a field to the IP header, called the DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint). This is a 6-bit field that provides 64 different class IDs.
Page 45 Access name for channel 1~4/8: VS8401 supports 4 channels for video live viewing, as VS8801 supports 8 channels. Each channel allows you to view only one stream.

Page 62 VIVOTEK JPEG mode is selected, the video server continuously sends 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.
Page 63 VIVOTEK ■ Available FPS Check Check frame rate to display the current available frame rate status (Available FPS). Available FPS provides the information of the unused encoding capability with available frame rate in different frame size. The embedded Soc (System-on-Chip) has limited encoding capability, so you may set the video quality according to the available FPS.
Page 64: Audio Settings
VIVOTEK the frame rate that cannot be reached is marked in red color. Audio settings Mute: Select this option to disable audio transmission from the video server to all clients. Note that if mute mode is turned on, no audio data will be transmitted even if audio transmission is enabled on the Client Settings page.
