AXIS 210/211 - Video & Image settings
MPEG-4 Settings
Tools for adjusting the MPEG-4 settings and for controlling the video bit rate.
The MPEG-4 standard provides many different coding tools for various applications in
different situations. As most MPEG-4 clients do not support all of these tools, it is usual to
instead define and use subsets for different clients or groups of clients. These settings allow
you to define the type of viewing client to use.
Adjusting the maximum bit rate and setting it to a variable or constant is a good way of
controlling the bandwidth used by the MPEG-4 video stream. For more information on
these advanced settings, please see Video Streams, on page 14, and the online help.
