Pelco C2900M-B(1/03 manual Configuration Default Setting Description

The following table details the configuration items.

Table D. Video Settings

Configuration	Default Setting	Description
Item
Video quality	super fast	You can set the quality of the video. On restricted
		bandwidth channels, you need a compromise
		between optimum image sharpness and quick
		reproduction of movements in the image. With
		increasing bandwidth, the effect of this setting
		diminishes, as best quality and fast motion can be
		maintained simultaneously.
		With a high image refresh rate, sharpness deterio-
		rates with increasing movement in the field of view.
		If movement is expected in a small area only, you can
		give preference to sharpness. The intelligent
		compression process then is able to refresh the
		affected areas in the image. The unchanged rest of
		the image will be reproduced with optimum
		sharpness.
		With high bandwidths in the local network (above
		200 Kb), you can work with maximum image quality
		without the refresh rate suffering noticeably.
Video standard	H.263	This field sets the video standard for the transmis-
		sion. If you intend to do a box-to-box connection, set
		this to H.261, click the Set button, and then click the
		Reboot link to reboot the unit. An hour glass symbol
		indicates the command is being processed. This
		symbol remains on the screen (regardless of whether
		or not the reboot is finished) until you click another
		function. The POWER LED flashes when the reboot is
		finished.
		If you are not near the unit, wait at least one
		minute to ensure the reboot finishes. If you click
		another function before the reboot concludes, the
		program responds with a retry or firewall message.
		Delete the message, exit the program, and restart.
Video resolution	standard (CIF)	Choose medium (QCIF) or standard (CIF) video
		resolution. Common Intermediate Format (CIF) is 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 (QCIF) resolution at 176 x 144 pixels for
		decent image rates.
