11 Configure the settings relating to images and audio [Image/Audio]

Frame rate: MPEG-4 images will be transmitted with the frame rate selected for “Frame rate*”.

Best effort: In accordance with the network bandwidth, MPEG-4 images will be transmitted with the bit rate varying between the maximum and minimum bit rates that are set for “Max bit rate (per client)*”.

Default: Frame rate

Note

When “Frame rate” is set for “Transmission priority”, number of users who can access the camera may be limited.

[Frame rate*]

Select a frame rate for MPEG-4 images from the following. 1fps/ 3fps/ 5fps*/ 7.5fps*/ 10fps*/ 12fps*/ 15fps*/ 20fps*/ 30fps*

Default: 30fps*

Note

When “Frame rate” is selected for “Transmission priority”, this setting is available.

“Frame rate*” is limited by “Max bit rate (per client)*”. For this reason, the frame rate may be lower than the specified value when any value marked with an asterisk (*) is selected.

[Max bit rate (per client)*]

Select a MPEG-4 bit rate per a client from the following. When “Best effort” is selected for “Transmission priority”, set the maximum and minimum bit rates.

64kbps/ 128kbps*/ 256kbps*/ 384kbps*/ 512kbps*/ 768kbps*/ 1024kbps*/ 1536kbps*/ 2048kbps*/ 3072kbps*/ 4096kbps*/ Unlimited*

Default:

MPEG-4(1): 2048kbps*

MPEG-4(2): 2048kbps*

* “Unlimited*” is available only when “Frame rate” is selected for “Transmission priority”.

Note

The MPEG-4 bit rate is limited by “Bandwidth control(bit rate)” of [Network] tab on the “Network” page (page 166). For this reason, the bit rate may be lower than the value when any value with an asterisk

(*) on the right is selected.

When “Unlimited*” is selected, the number of users who can access MPEG-4 images will be limited to “1”. (Only a single user can access MPEG-4 images.)

It is impossible to select “Unlimited*” for both “MPEG-4(1)” and “MPEG-4(2)”.

[Image quality]

Select the image quality of MPEG-4 images from the following.

Low(Motion priority)/ Normal/ Fine(Image quality priority)

Default: Normal

Note

When “Constant bit rate” or “Best effort” is selected for “Transmission priority”, this setting is available.

[Refresh interval]

Select an interval (I-frame interval; 0.2–5 seconds) to refresh the displayed MPEG-4 images.

If using under a network environment with frequent error occurrences, shorten the refresh interval for MPEG-4 to diminish image distortions. However, the refresh interval may be longer than the set value. 0.2s/ 0.25s/ 0.33s/ 0.5s/ 1s/ 2s/ 3s/ 4s/ 5s

Default: 1s
