Pelco C1553M-B Decoding, Encoder Parameters, Restoring Factory Default Settings

C1553M-B (4/05) 61

4. If the encoder/decoder is conﬁgured to multicast MPEG-4 streams, conﬁgure the following settings:

•Enter the IP multicast group MPEG-4 port in the MPEG-4 Port ﬁeld.

•Enter the IP multicast group audio port in the Audio Port ﬁeld.

If the encoder/decoder is connected, these port numbers are automatically uploaded from the encoder/decoder when you select the mode.

If the encoder/decoder is connected when you conﬁgure the settings in VMX300(-E), the settings are updated in the encoder/decoder immediately.

Otherwise, updating occurs once the encoder/decoder is connected.

To conﬁgure multicast settings through the encoder/decoder, complete the following steps:

1. Conﬁgure the encoder/decoder’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.

Decoding

Select the stream(s) you want the encoder/decoder to receive. For information on conﬁguring the streams, refer to the appropriate PelcoNet

manual. If the MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 streams will be displayed in a custom window, the window’s canvas must be conﬁgured to display the

MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 signal types. For instructions on conﬁguring the canvas, refer to Canvases.

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.

1. To select lower frame rate settings, click Optimize Encoder Parameters for Software Decoding. The Software Defaults message appears.

Figure 56. Software Defaults Message

2. Click Yes. The MPEG-4 conﬁguration on the PelcoNet device is changed to the following settings:

MPEG-2: 2MBPS Low Delay

MPEG-4: 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 57. Factory Defaults Message

2. Click Yes. The MPEG-4 conﬁguration on the PelcoNet device is changed to the factory default settings.

3. If necessary, you can change one or more individual settings, in order to customize your system.

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 an NVR, these encoder parameter changes will not take effect. Wait until the video stream

recording is complete, and then click the appropriate button.
