1. Product Features

The GANZ PixelPro is a high performance H.264 network camera, designed for
demanding security installations. It delivers crisp, clear images, disclosing every
detail, thanks to its top quality Megapixel progressive CMOS sensor and advanced
image processing.

Supported by the industry’s largest base of video management software, the GANZ
PIxelPro provides the perfect solution for securing bank offices, airports and other
facilities, and for traffic surveillance, over IP based networks.

The optimal Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) support power to the camera to be
delivered via the network, eliminating the need for a power outlet and reducing
installation costs. Steady power could be guaranteed with a central Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS).

The GANZ PixelPro offers a comprehensive set of network security and
management features.
This includes support for port based network control (IEEE802.1X), which allows the
camera to be connected to a network secured with this control, and HTTPS
encryption, which provides a secure channel between camera and application. It also
enables authentication of the video source. Video products are efficiently managed
with the powerful GANZ PixelPro Camera Management tool, which is provided on
the Installation CD which comes with each GANZ PixelPro camera.

2.5 Video stream types

H.264 protocols and communication methods

• RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is a protocol that allows programs to manage

the real-time transmission of multimedia data, via unicast or multicast.

• RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) serves as a control protocol, to negotiate the

type of transport protocol to use for the stream. RTSP is used by a viewing client to
start a unicast session.

• UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a communications protocol that offers limited

service for exchanging data in a network which uses the Internet Protocol (IP).
UDP is an alternative to the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The advantage of
UDP is that, it is not required to deliver all data and may drop network packets when
there is network congestion. This is suitable for live video, as there is no point in re­transmitting old information that will not be displayed anyway.

• Unicasting is communication between a single sender and a single receiver over a

network. This means that the video stream goes independently to each user, and
each user gets own stream. A benefit of unicasting is, in case one stream fails, it
only affects one user.

• Multicasting(Will be supported)is bandwidth-conserving technology that reduces

bandwidth usage by simultaneously delivering a single stream of information to
multiple network recipients. This technology is used primarily on delimited networks
(intranets), as each user needs an uninterrupted data flow and should not rely on
network routers.

2.6 How to stream H.264

Deciding on the combination of protocols and methods to use depends on your
viewing requirements, and on the properties of your network. Setting the preferred
method(s) is done in webpage.

RTP+RTSP

This method (actually RTP over UDP and RTSP over TCP) should be your first
consideration for live video, especially when it is important to always have an up-to­date video stream, even if some images are lost due to network problems. This could

be configured as multicast or unicast.
RTP/RTSP/Multicasting (Will be supported) provides the most efficient usage of

bandwidth, especially when there are large numbers of clients viewing
simultaneously. Note however, that a multicast broadcast could not pass a network
router unless the router is configured to allow this. For example, It is impossible to
multicast over the Internet.

10

RTP/RTSP/Unicasting should be used for video-on-demand broadcasting, so that

there is no video traffic on the network until a client connects and requests the
stream. However, as more and more unicast clients get connected, the traffic on the
network will increase and may cause congestion. Although there is a maximum of 10
unicast viewers, note that all multicast users combined count as 1 unicast viewer.

RTP/RTSP

This unicast method is RTP tunneled over RTSP. This could be used to exploit the
fact that it is relatively simple to configure firewalls to allow RTSP traffic.

3. The Setup

The GANZ PixelPro is configured from the Setup link, which is available on the top
left hand side in the web interface. This configuration could be done by:

• Administrators, who have unrestricted access to all settings under the Setup tab.

Accessing the Setup link from a browser

1. Start your web browser and enter the IP address or host name of the camera into
the address bar.

2. The Live View page is now displayed. Click on the Setup tap.

4. Analog output

4.1 Analog Output Setup

Analog output allows selection of output format of the analog BNC output from

the camera. NTSC, PAL: Analog Output is selectable.

5. Video

The following descriptions show examples of some of the features available in the
GANZ PixelPro.

5.1 Codec

These are the tools for adjusting the H.264 settings and controlling the video bit rate.

12

H.264

This is a video compression standard that makes good use of bandwidth and which
could provide high-quality video streams at less than 1 Mbit/s.

The H.264 standard provides scope for a large range of different coding tools for use
by various applications in different situations, and the GANZ PixelPro provides
certain subsets of these tools.

Using H.264, it is also possible to control the bit rate, which in turn allows the amount
of bandwidth usage to be controlled. CBR (Constant Bit Rate) is used to achieve a
specific bit rate by varying the quality of the H.264 stream. While using VBR
(Variable Bit Rate), the quality of the video stream is kept as constant as possible, at
the cost of a varying bit rate.

Motion JPEG

This format uses standard JPEG still images in the video stream. These images then
are displayed and updated at a rate sufficient to create a stream that shows
constantly updated motion.
The Motion JPEG stream uses considerable amounts of bandwidth, but also
provides excellent image quality and access to every individual image contained in
the stream.
Multiple clients accessing Motion JPEG streams could use different image settings.

Codec

H.264 / MJPEG

Size

Video output resolution. See the next page for the output resolution table.

Frame rate

1~30fps in normal mode (1~15fps for slow shutter mode)

Note: If the slow shutter mode is turned on and the low light condition is met, the

frame rate is automatically goes down. In this case, the frame is half of the
normal mode.

GOP Size

1 ~ 60 frames

Bit-rate control (CBR or VBR)

When using H.264 compression, if there is only limited bandwidth available, a
constant bit rate(CBR) is recommended, although this may compromise image
quality. Use a variable bit rate(VBR) for the best possibly image quality.
