Image Settings

Use the Image Appearance settings to change the image as required.

The configuration of the video image will affect the camera’s overall performance, depending on how it is used and on the available bandwidth. Lower compression improves video image quality, but increases the bandwidth.

Note: When using MPEG-4 as the video format, this setting will define the minimum compression level. The com- pression level will temporarily increase as and when required, i.e. when the bit rate approaches the maxi- mum value as defined in the current profile@level combination. See MPEG-4 Settings, on page 18 for more information.

The video image can be rotated and fine-tuned by adjusting the color level, the brightness, sharpness and the contrast. Please see the online help for further information on these settings.

Changed video image settings have immediate effect on the MPEG-4 stream, but the Motion JPEG stream will have to be started (or restarted) before the settings take effect.
