    Video encoder tabs on the Video page Multicodec The HSD62x has a built-in, multicodec video server. Four separate video encoders (Encoder 1, Encoder 2, H.264 - 1, H.264 - 2) can convert the camera's analogue video signal into independent digital video streams with different resolutions and frame rates. Encoders 1 and 2 can both handle MPEG-2/4 and MJPEG encoding.

    HSD62x Item Description The HSD62x will simultaneously handle dual H.264 encoding and Note: dual MPEG-2/4 encoding at full frame rate, and Live View encoding at 5 frames per second. Setting Encoders 1 and 2 to perform MPEG-2/4 encoding in D1 resolution at the same time may overtax the hardware. The total output bandwidth, including streams controlled by RTSP, and those enabled through SAP, should not exceed 25 Mb/s.

  • Page 51: Make A Video Connection

    Video 11.3.1.2 Notes 2CIF, CIF, QCIF use only one of the two frame fields. When Note on CIF resolutions: CIF-encoded pictures are displayed on a monitor, the decoder simulates the second field (by extrapolation from the first field) in order to present two frame fields. CIF is mostly used for recording purposes, as a compromise between good video quality and storage capacity needed.

Use the Stream Manager to balance network load. It can limit the output rate per stream sent to the transmitters. Be warned that setting the Stream bandwidth limit to a lower value may introduce latency because peaks in the encoder output will be buffered.
