When only MPEG4 images are distributed, the maximum number of distributions is determined by the preset bit rate. When a distribution request that exceeds the maximum number of distributions is received, this request is denied.

When both JPEG and MPEG4 images are distributed simultaneously, distribution up to two clients for JPEG and MPEG4 respectively is possible. However, distribution requests that exceed a total bit rate of 20 Mbps will be denied.

Insufficient network bandwidth

When there is insufficient bandwidth, the number of JPEG frames (frame rate) that the client can acquire will decrease. Delay will also occur in the distribution of images. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Network Delay

When the client acquires JPEG via TCP, VN- V686U will send out data while checking the ACK from the client at the same time. For networks with considerable delay, data cannot be sent out until ACK is received, and therefore the frame rate will drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Decrease in the frame rate due to network delays can be eliminated by receiving data via multicast.

Network Jitter

When there is considerable network jitter, delay time may be prolonged and the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Packet Loss

When acquiring images from VN-V686U via TCP, packet loss may be recovered by TCP transmission. When there is considerable delay in the network, however, missing data may occur and the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

When packet loss occurs during multicast sending from VN-V686U, the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.
