Do not install it at locations directly subjected to cold air such as near the vents of air-conditioners or at locations with high temperature. Condensation may occur inside the dome cover.

to 50 I.

Saving Energy

䢇

When the camera is not in use for a long time, turn off the power of the system for safety and energy conservation reasons.

Others

䢇

Do not subject the lens to strong light source such as sun rays. This may cause the equipment to malfunction.

䢇

This camera comes with a built-in AGC circuit. The sensitivity increases automatically at a dark place and the screen may appear grainy. This is not a malfunction.

䢇

While AGC is activated, if a transceiver which causes strong electromagnetic wave is used near the camera, the picture may suffer from beat. Please use the camera more than three meters away from such transceivers.

䢇

When automatic iris is selected, the Iris Control button may not work depending on the brightness of the screen (when the amount of light is not sufficient). In this case, set the iris to Manual.

䢇

When automatic iris is selected and AGC is ON, even if the iris setting can be changed with the Iris Control button, the Sense Up function will be enabled and the brightness of the screen may not change. In this case, set AGC to OFF or set the iris to Manual.

䢇

When this camera is used in the White Balance

ATW-NarrowB, AAT W- W i d eB (automatic adjustment) mode, the color tone may differ slightly from the actual color due to the principle of the automatic tracking white balance circuit. This is not a malfunction.

䢇

If a high luminance object (such as a lamp) is shot, a white smear may appear at the upper and lower ends of this object on the screen. This phenomenon (smear) is characteristic of solidstate image sensors and is not a malfunction.

䢇

Do not touch the dome cover with your hands. Dirty covers will cause image deterioration.

䢇

Do not subject the dome cover to strong impact. It may result in damage and water seepage.

䢇

The dome cover may fog due to the drastic change of temperature when humidity is high.

䢇

Do not connect an AC 24 V cable to AC110 V/AC 230 V power supply. The camera internal circuit will be damaged. Do not use the camera. Bring it to your nearest JVC dealer for repair (charged separately).

䢇

To supply AC 24 V, use a AC 24 V supplying power unit that is insulated from AC 110 V /AC 230 V line.

䢇

When using multicast, make use of a IGMPv2compliant network switch.

䢇

Some hubs/switches of products that are equipped with intelligent features may include a broadcast/ multicast suppression function. Viewing of multicast images on this product may fail if this function is enabled.

䢇

The electronic shutter of this product is set to 1/60 by default. For regions with a commercial power

supply frequency of 50 Hz, switch to the 1/100 during use under fluorescent lights (excluding inverter lighting equipment) to prevent flickers.

䢇

When the B&W mode is set to AAutoB, the image turns black-and-white in a dark location. As the sensitivity level is increased in this case, the screen may appear grainy and more white spots may appear. When switching between color and black-and-white images, the brighter area on the screen is emphasized, which may reduce the visibility. However, this is not a malfunction.

䢇

If the power supply voltage is momentarily cut off or reduced due to lightning or turning on of the air conditioner’s power, the image may be disrupted or noise interference may occur.

䢇

As the dome cover is of a semiglobular shape, image distortion will occur at the hemispherical edge. When the hemispherical edge of this unit is masked and horizontal level is shot in a tilt direction, the hemispherical edge will enter the field angle. This may cause the upper edge of the screen to become black and the focus unclear. In this case, you can avoid shooting the above area by using the tilt limit settings (

䢇

When shooting objects with a luminance difference or near a light source, ghost may occur on the screen. This is a feature of the dome cover and the built-in lens, and is not a malfunction.

䢇

In particular, manual and auto pan operation near the TELE edge (telephoto side) may cause the screen to vibrate (unsmooth rotation). This is a feature of the motor and is not a malfunction.

Network Requirements

●

Ensure that there is sufficient network bandwidth for the data volume to be sent out by VNV686WPU. Do not send multicast stream that exceeds the bandwidth. If the entire bandwidth is used by the multicast stream, control of this camera via the network may fail.

●

Data volume to be sent by VN-V686WPU varies with the settings and number of distributions.

●

The maximum bit rate for transmission is about 20 Mbps.

Estimation of Total Bit Rate

The total JPEG bit rate from VN-V686WPU is determined by the VN-V686WPU settings, number of clients, and the client’s requested number of frames. The total MPEG4 bit rate from VN-V686WPU is 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 may be used as a reference. 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.

QVGA File Size

30 KB 10 KB

Selectable between 10 KB to 100 KB

Selectable between 3 KB to 33 KB

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

If the JPEG file size per frame is 30 KB, then the total bit rate will be:

30 KB x 30 fps = 900 KB/s = Approx. 7.2 Mbps

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 forecast. You can specify an estimated bit rate for both VBR and CBR. (64 kbps to 8000 kbps)

Restrictions on the Number of Distributions for VN-V686WPU

The maximum number of distributions for VNV686WPU is determined by the settings as well as requirements from the client. When only JPEG images are distributed, the maximum number of distributions is determined based on the highest bit rate within the stream. When a distribution request that exceeds the maximum number of distributions is received, this request is denied. For example, if Client A requests for and receives data at 1 Mbps, while Client B requests for and receives data at 5 Mbps, the maximum number of distributions is 4 streams according to the table below.

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.

Network Delay

When the client acquires JPEG via TCP, VNV686WPU 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. Decrease in the frame rate due to network delays can be eliminated by receiving data via multicast.

Packet Loss

When acquiring images from VN-V686WPU via TCP, 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. When packet loss occurs during multicast sending from rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.
