Page 46: Roi (Region Of Interest)
When network bandwidth is limited, real-time HD video streams may be too large for the network to handle, and in that case the VPort 56-2MP will automatically allocate available bandwidth to those parts of the video that are of greater interest. For example, when focused on a factory entrance, the camera can allocate more bandwidth for the entryway, and allocate minimum bandwidth for a wall in the same scene. -

Page 48: Video Performance
System Configuration Video Performance The VPort 56-2MP can send a maximum of three simultaneous video streams: two H.264 and one MJEPG. In fact, the VPort 56-2MP has two encoder engines. The first encoder engine can generate one completely independent H.264 video stream, which means that its resolution, FPS, and video quality can be configured independently. - Page 49 NOTE The VPort 56-2MP supports a maximum of three simultaneous video streams, and the FPS will be affected when all three video streams are enabled. If the video quality is set very high for all three video streams, the total FPS for the three streams combined is about 75.
