Estimation of Total Bit Rate

The total JPEG bit rate from determined by the clients, and the client’s requested number of frames. The total MPEG4 bit rate from determined by the number of distributions. Develop a design upon taking the above into consideration.

Bit Rate of JPEG Stream

The JPEG file size per frame varies with the encoding settings as well as input video signals. The following table shows typical sizes. When VFS is selected, the quantization table during JPEG encoding will be maintained, and the file size will increase/decrease according to the input signals. When AFS is selected, encoding will be performed such that the target file size is the average size of multiple JPEG images.

The maximum number of distributions varies with the bit rate settings as well as the client’s requested frame rate. Up to 20 streams can be distributed (including multicast). The total frame rate refers to the sum of these frame rates.

For example, when 10 fps is requested by two clients, and in addition, multicast is transmitted at a rate of 10 fps, the total frame rate will be:

10 + 10 + 10 = 30 fps

For example, when 5 fps is requested by two clients, and in addition, multicast is transmitted at a rate of 5 fps, the total frame rate will be:

5 + 5 + 5 = 15fps

If JPEG file size per piece is 120KB, total bit rate will be:

120KB ⳯ 15fps = 1800KB/s = 14.4Mbps

Bit Rate of MPEG4 Stream

You can select either the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR) system for MPEG4 stream. When the VBR system is selected, the bit rate varies according to the condition of the input video signals. The VBR system delivers a stable picture quality, but forecast of the bit rate is difficult. When the CBR system is selected, encoding is performed at a fixed bit rate regardless of the condition of the input video signals. The picture quality varies under the CBR system, but the bit rate can be easily forecasted. You can specify an estimated bit rate for both VBR and CBR. (64 kbps to 8000 kbps)

Bit Rate of Audio

Only 1 audio data stream can be received. Data volume for 1 audio stream is 64 kbps. Audio data volume may be calculated using the following formula. 64 kbps x no. of streams The number of streams is the total number of streams sent via TCP (number of clients), streams sent via multicast, and stream received by camera (Example) When camera sends out 2 audio streams and receives 1 audio stream, data volume will be as follows. 64 kbps x 3 = 192 kbps

Restrictions on the Number of Distributions for camera

he maximum number of distributions for determined by the settings as well as requirements from the client. F

or JPEG distribution, you can select either “Frame Rate Priority” mode or “Client number Priority” mode. “Frame Rate Priority” mode distributes JPEG images according to the frame rate requested by the client. The maximum number of distributions is determined based on the highest bit rate within the distribution streams. For “Client number Priority” mode, if there are requests from multiple clients, JPEG images are distributed in a lower frame rate than that requested to cater to multiple clients. It can accept 20 distribution requests as the maximum number of clients.

䡵

When Frame Rate Priority Mode is Selected

JPEG images are distributed at the frame rate requested by the client. When a distribution request that exceeds the maximum number of distributions is received, this request is denied.

●

When only JPEG images are distributed For example, if Client A requests for JPEG at 1 Mbps, while Client B requests for JPEG at 5 Mbps, additional 2 streams (total 4 streams) of distribution are possible for request below 5 Mbps.

When only JPEG images are distributed If the distribution request would be accepted in the frame rate priority mode, distribution works in the same way as frame rate priority mode, where JPEG images are distributed at the frame rate requested by the client. If the distribution request would be denied in the frame rate priority mode, the frame rate is controlled such that the maximum bit rate is as shown in the following table, to accept distribution requests from up to 20 clients. For example, if Client A and B request for JPEG at 10 Mbps, and Client C requests for JPEG at 5 Mbps, the frame rate will be reduced such that the distribution bit rate to each client is less than 5 Mbps.

Memo:

● If the bit rate is changed when image

Insufficient network bandwidth

When there is insufficient bandwidth, the number of JPEG frames (frame rate) that the client can acquire will decrease. Delay will also occur in the distribution of images. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail. There may be a longer delay or interruption in the audio.

Network Delay

When the client acquires JPEG via TCP, will send out data while checking the ACK from the client at the same time. For networks with considerable delay, data cannot be sent out until ACK is received, and therefore the frame rate will drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Audio may be interrupted. Decrease in the frame rate due to network delays

can be eliminated by receiving data via multicast.

Network Jitter

When there is considerable network jitter, delay time may be prolonged and the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Audio may be interrupted.

Packet Loss

When acquiring images from packet loss may be recovered by TCP transmission. When there is considerable delay in the network, however, missing data may occur and the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

White” or “Auto Low, Auto Mid or Auto High”.

● The screen appears grainy at dark locations when the AGC feature is in

use.

I Sense Up This feature is used to raise the sensitivity level by lengthening the exposure

time. You can specify the number of times by which the sensitivity level is to be

increased automatically when the object becomes dark. When Ax16B is selected, the sensitivity level will automatically increases continuously until it is 16 times of the level when AOffB is selected. When the sensitivity level increases, the shutter speed slows down and motion becomes unnatural. When set to AOffB, [Sense Up] is disabled.

[Set values: Off, x2(1/15s), x4(1/7.5s), x8(1/3.75s), x16(0.5s),

Memo:

● Upon raising the sensitivity level, the screen may appear grainy or white,

or white defects may occur. However, this is not a malfunction.

● When Sense Up is set to a value other than AOffB, flickers occur under

the light of fluorescent or mercury lamps. This is not a malfunction of the camera, but is due to principles related to Sense Up.

● When the shutter is set to a value between 1/250 to 1/10000, set

Sense Up to AOffB.

J ALC Priority For setting the priority of ALC (feature for maintaining the video level

according to the brightness of the object). You can select whether to assign priority to the motion or picture quality when the object becomes dark.

Motion : Assigns priority to motion.

Quality : Assigns priority to picture quality.

[Set values: Motion, Quality]

When the object becomes dark, priority is given to AGC (automatic gain control), and therefore this is suitable for shooting fast-moving objects.

When the object becomes dark, priority is given to the Sense Up feature, and therefore this is suitable for shooting objects requiring a high picture quality.
