Examples of Worse-Case Bandwidth Calculation in Live Video Mode

Example 1: WS5050 Endura Workstation—Live Video Stream

Each WS5050 can display 16 simultaneous playback streams.
To calculate the worse-case bandwidth for the WS5050:
1. Find the bandwidth.
BW = NS x BR = 16 x 1 Mbps = 16 Mbps
2. Find the overhead.
OH = 25% x BW = 16 x 1 Mbps x 25% = 4 Mbps
3. Find the worse-case bandwidth.
BWC = (NS x BR) + OH = 16 Mbps + 4 Mbps = 20 Mbps

Example 2: VCD5000 Video Console Display—Live Video Stream

The Model VCD5001 has one monitor output and can display up to 16 simultaneous live video streams. A Model VCD5004 has four monitor
outputs and can display 64 simultaneous live video streams.
To calculate the worse-case bandwidth for the VCD5004:
1. Find the bandwidth.
BW = NS x BR = 64 x 1 Mbps = 64 Mbps
2. Find the overhead.
OH = 25% x BW = 64 Mbps x 25% = 16 Mbps
3. Find the worse-case bandwidth.
BWC = (NS x BR) + OH = 64 Mbps + 16 Mbps = 80 Mbps

Example 3: NET5301R Decoder—Live Video Stream

Each Encoder can playback 4 simultaneous video streams.
To calculate the worse-case bandwidth for NET5301R Decoder:
1. Find the bandwidth.
BW = NS x BR = 4 x 1 Mbps = 4 Mbps
2. Find the overhead.
OH = 25% x BW = 4 Mbps x 25% = 1 Mbps
3. Find the worse-case bandwidth.
BWC = (NS x BR) + OH = 4 Mbps + 1 Mbps = 5 Mbps
