If the encoder is connected when you configure the settings in VMX300(-E), the settings are updated in the encoder immediately.
Otherwise, updating occurs once the encoder is connected.
To configure multicast settings through the encoder, complete the following steps:
1. Configure the encoder’s internal multicast settings; refer to the appropriate PelcoNet manual for instructions.
2. In VMX300(-E) click Upload Settings on the Communications tab. Refer to the Configure the Communications Tab section.
Encoder Parameters
VMX300(-E) provides the option to quickly configure the internal MPEG-4 settings of the PelcoNet device for either lower frame rate settings,
which have been designed to work well with VMX300(-E), or the factory default settings.

Selecting Lower Frame Rate Settings

1. To select lower frame rate settings, click Optimize Encoder Parameters for Software Decoding. The Software Defaults message appears.
Figure 53. Software Defaults Message
2. Click Yes. The MPEG-4 configuration on the PelcoNet device is changed to the following settings:
Stream 1: VMX High Quality
Stream 2: VMX Standard Quality
3. (Optional) To change individual settings, click Go on the Properties tab to display the PelcoNet Device Control window.

Restoring Factory Default Settings

1. To select factory default settings, click Return Encoder Parameters to Factory Defaults. The Factory Defaults message appears.
Figure 54. Factory Defaults Message
2. Click Yes. The MPEG-4 configuration on the PelcoNet device is changed to the factory default settings.
3. (Optional) To change individual settings, click Go on the Properties tab to display the PelcoNet Device Control window.
The factory default settings provide higher frame rate settings for connections with high bandwidth, based on parameter preset 1. Refer to the
appropriate PelcoNet manual for detailed information.
NOTE: If the video stream is being recorded by either an NVR or the PelcoNet integral recording feature, these encoder parameter changes
will not take effect. Wait until the video stream recording is complete, and then click the appropriate button.
