The following table details the configuration items. The Type column shows whether the particular setting applies to transmitters (T) or receivers (R), or both (B).
Table C. Video Settings
Configuration | Default | Type | Description |
Item | Settings |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Video quality | super fast | T | On restricted bandwidth channels, the |
|
|
| video quality preference in terms of |
|
|
| speed versus sharpness can be se- |
|
|
| lected. With increasing bandwidth, the |
|
|
| effect of this setting diminishes, as best |
|
|
| quality and fast motion can be main- |
|
|
| tained simultaneously. |
|
|
|
|
Video | standard (CIF) | T | Standard video resolution is Common |
resolution |
|
| Intermediate Format (CIF) at 352 x 288 |
|
|
| picture elements. For very restricted |
|
|
| channels (for example, wireless or low |
|
|
| speed modem transmission) it may be |
|
|
| advantageous to switch to medium |
|
|
| resolution (QCIF) at 176 x 144 pixels for |
|
|
| decent frame rates. |
|
|
|
|
Video bandwidth | 250000 | T | This field controls the transmitter |
ActiveX |
|
| bandwidth setting for live video. |
|
|
|
|
Video | 250000 | R | The transmission rate (that is, the video |
bandwidth RX |
|
| bandwidth) is controlled from the receiving |
|
|
| end. Therefore, this setting only applies to |
|
|
| receivers. The data range can be entered |
|
|
| from 10 Kbps up to 1 Mbps. |
|
|
|
|
Camera name | none | T | In addition to the unit name, the camera |
|
|
| name helps the user identify the loca- |
|
|
| tion or the visible scene. |
|
|
|
|
Name | off | T | The unit name, as well as the camera |
stamping |
|
| name, can be stamped into the video |
|
|
| frame. There is a choice of upper or |
|
|
| lower left corner for displaying the name |
|
|
| information inside the video frame. |
|
|
|
|
Time | off | T | Similar to the name stamping, date and |
stamping |
|
| time information can be stamped into the |
|
|
| live video frame at either the upper or |
|
|
| lower right corner. The stamping occurs |
|
|
| at the transmitter before the actual cod- |
|
|
| ing takes place. Therefore, the name and |
|
|
| the date/time information are an integral |
|
|
| part of the coded and transmitted data. |
