    (CBR). Video Quality Versus Bitrate Versus Channel Switching The implementation of H.264/AVC algorithm used for the EN5990 has been optimised to produce broadcast quality video at very low bitrates. However there are bitrates below which the algorithm cannot maintain broadcast quality. It should be remembered that the cut-off bitrates involved depend on the content being encoded.
  • Page 17: Why Does The Transport Stream Analyser Show Fluctuating Bitrate For The Video Pid

    EN5990 Encoder for MPEG-4 Part 10 Resolution Reduction: the horizontal resolution of the image can be reduced from the full resolution of the input to lessen the information in the image and hence the number of bits required to encode it. This has no effect on channel switch time.
  • Page 18: How Do I Transmit Transport Stream Over An Ip Network

    However this I picture is still a valid random access point as no picture following it in display order ever references a picture preceding it. All I pictures from TANDBERG TV encoders can be used for random access, this is signaled by the Random Access Indicator flag in the Adaptation Field of the video transport stream packet.
  • Page 19: What Parameter Values Should Be Used To Optimise Video Quality

    EN5990 Encoder for MPEG-4 Part 10 What Parameter Values Should be Used to Optimise Video Quality? The parameters discussed in Chapter 4 are the most important parameters for the operation of the encoder and these parameters should be set initially. However there are other parameters that can be used to further optimise the video quality.
