Panasonic WV-NP1000, WV-NP1004 guide

Configure the settings relating to MPEG-4 image [JPEG/MPEG-4]

Click the [JPEG/MPEG-4] tab on the "Camera setup" page. (☞ page 23)

Configure the settings such as "Max bit rate (per 1 client)", "Image capture size" and "Image quality" on this page. Refer to page 23 for further information about the settings relating to JPEG images.

[MPEG-4 transmission]

Select "ON" or "OFF" to determine whether or not to transmit MPEG-4 images.

ON: Transmits MPEG-4 images.

OFF: Does not transmit MPEG-4 images.

Default: ON

[Max bit rate (per 1 client)*]

Select a MPEG-4 bit rate per a client from the following. 64 kbps/128 kbps */256 kbps */512 kbps */1024 kbps*/ 1536 kbps */2048 kbps */3072 kbps */4096 kbps * Default: 2048 kbps *

Note:

The MPEG-4 bit rate is synchronized with "Total bit rate" on the [Network] tab of "Network setup" page. (☞ page 39)

For this reason, the bit rate may be lower than the value when the setting value with an asterisk (*) on the right is selected.

[Image capture size]

Select "QVGA" or "VGA" for the image capture size of MPEG-4 images.

Default: VGA

[Image quality]

Select image quality of MPEG-4 images from the follow- ing.

Fine/Normal/Low

Default: Normal

[Refresh interval (MPEG-4)]

Select an interval (1 - 5 seconds) to refresh the dis- played MPEG-4 images.

If using the network environment with frequent error occurrences, images can be displayed quickly, and it is possible to diminish image distortions by setting a short- er refresh interval. However, the refresh interval (MPEG-4) may be longer than the set value.

Default: 3 sec

[Transmission type]

Select a MPEG-4 transmission type from the following. Unicast: Up to 8 users can access a single camera

concurrently.

Multicast: No concurrent access limitation for a cam- era.

Default: Unicast

[Multicast address]

Enter the multicast IP address.

Available range: 224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255

Default: 239.192.0.20

[Multicast port]

Enter the multicast port number (used to transmit MPEG-4 images from the camera).

Available port number: 1024 - 50000 (Only even num- bers are available.)

Default: 37004

[Multicast TTL]

Enter the multicast TTL value.

Available value: 1 - 254

Default: 16

Important:

•Depending on the PC in use for monitoring, the mul- ticast port number may be already in use. In this case, it may be impossible to monitor images. Change the multicast port number.

•When transmitting MPEG-4 image via a network, the transmitted image sometimes may not be displayed. In this case, refer to the network administrator.

•When two network interface cards or more are installed on the PC in use, the network interface card(s) not used for receiving images should be invalidated when displaying MPEG-4 images using the multicast port.
