Bandwidth Management

NOTE: Threshold compensates for image sources that have a level of noise in them. In general, there is always a certain amount of noise in any source

that is produced by an analog method. By applying a threshold, this noise can effectively be ignored by the PURE3 compression engine, resulting in a

lower transmitted bit rate.

°Chroma check box — The Chroma setting adapts the temporal compression to note the chroma changes in an image. When enabled, chroma thresholding increases the bit rate. This setting should be selected for video sources.

ÄMode — This drop down box is a set of six modes that apply different spatial and temporal compression schemes to manage the encoded image data stream. See “Typical bit rates“ for suggested mode selections.

NOTE: Two of these control modes are available only from

this panel. Four are also accessible in the Bandwidth

Management controls panel settings panel.

•Manual Frame Drop — In this mode, the spatial image quality is held constant.

However, the bit rate is managed by reducing the number of frames that are transported. The frame rate is managed by setting a value for the Frame Drop Percentage (see item Û, below).

•Shared Flowrate — This mode is the same as the Peak flow rate but the bit rate control is applied to the aggregate value for all streams from the encoder, as would be the case if multiple (maximum 4) Unicast RTP streams are chosen as the data transport method.

•None — See the Control mode drop-down box in “Bandwidth Management standard controls panel.“

•Peak Flow — See the Control mode drop-down box in “Bandwidth Management standard controls panel.“

•PBR-F— See the Control mode drop-down box in “Bandwidth Management standard controls panel.“

•PBR-F (FD) — See the Control mode drop-down box in “Bandwidth Management standard controls panel.“

ÅTarget Bandwidth (Mbps) — This value duplicates the Bit rate control in the Bandwidth Management controls panel. Enter a value of up to 300.000 Mbps to set the limit for the total bit rate for all data; image, audio, and audio. This control is not available when the Control mode is set to either None or Manual Frame Drop.

ÛFrame Drop Percentage — This is the percentage of frames that are dropped whenever the manual frame drop is the chosen control mode. See “Typical bit rates“ on the next page to see the estimated bit rates for various video, audio, and error correction selections.
