3.5 Audio Video
Click the “V ideo and Audi o” button on the navigation bar to display
the audio video settings interface as shown below:
Figure 3-6 Video settings
The Audio video settings interface includes 5 tabs: Video, OSD,
Motion, Path and Audio. Click each tab to enter the corresponding
interface.
The following explains each of the 5 tabs in detail.
3.5.1 Video Settings
Users can set certain video parameters for Primary stream,
Secondary stream and MJPEG (Third stream) stream, such as
Resolution, Frame rate, Bit rate, and GOP, etc.
Resolution:
H.264 primary stream: the maximum resolution supported is
1920×1080, optional choices are 1280×1024, 1280×960, 1280×720,
1024×768, 800×600.
H.264 secondary stream: choose from 720×480, 640×480, 352×288,
352×240 and Closed.
MJPEG stream: the resolution is MJPEG or CVBS options.
Frame Rate: The number of compressed frames that the dome
processes per second.
The images will be smoother when the set frame rate is gre ater. But
the CPU processing ability upon other events will be reduced.
Under H.264 stream, the maxi mum frame rate is 30fps, and under
MJPEG stream, the maximu m frame rate is 1-4fps.
Bit Rate: VBR (Variable bit rate), CBR (constant bit rate) and
Dynamic options.
With variable bit rate, the system can automatically adjust the
bandwidth of the images per the complexity of the images. In
practical use, the co mplexity of the video images varies constantly,
as the details of the scene and the moving speed change. If the video
includes too much detail and images in it move fast, then the
bandwidth it uses will be larger. If not, the bandwidth is smaller. If
the Bit Rate is set as “Constant bit rate”, then the images are
transferred by fixed bandwidth capacity, no matter how the
complexity of the images changes. When set to Dynamic, the bit rate
changes depending o n t he scene activity.
Max bitrate: When the Bit Rate Control is set as “VBR”, the Bit
Rate limit is set at the same time. I f it is set as “CBR”, then the bit
rate is fixed, and the bit rate is defined in the Bit rate limit.
In primary stream transmission, the bit rate limit options are
1000Kbps, 2000Kbps, 3000Kbps, 4000Kbps, 6000Kbps, 8000Kbps
and 10000Kbps; in secondary stream transmission, the bit rate limit
options are 256Kbps, 512Kbps, 1000Kbps and 2000Kbps.
GOP
GOP number is the ratio between I frame and P frame. The higher
the GOP number is, the smaller the data amount is, and thus the less
network resources it uses. The GOP number can be set at a maximum
of 60.
Image Quality
In Third Stream MJPEG transmission, the image q ualit y can be set,
with the options of: Highest, High, Average, Low, Lowest. The
higher quality images will take up more bandwidth.
3.5.2 OSD
Figure 3-27 OSD
12
From the OSD (On Screen Display) screen, the PTZ information
and image that displays on screen is configured.
Titles: When PTZ info is selected, the PTZ camera supports titles

camera in the Time & camera group; select On or Off.These titles
are set in their respective screens in PTZ. System info, such as
azimuth and compass, and the time and date can be set to display in
live view; select On or Off.
When Image is selected, a picture, for example a logo, can be
uploaded to displa y. Click Image and click Bro wse to upload a
picture. [Note: The picture must meet the requirements of: its
length, a multiple of 32; its width, a multiple of 4; 256 color (8 bit
depth); bmp format.] Use the Transparent slide to adjust the
transparency of the picture. Click the Clean white box to remove
the background of the picture.
X/Y-axis: set the title axis location. Both X-axis and Y-axis can be
any whole numbers from 0 to 99.
Font Size: set the font size to be displayed. The higher the value is,
the larger the font size is (1-5).
After all settings are finished, click “Save” button to display OSD
information on the video. To remove OSD display, set all
parameters to “OFF” an d then click the button “Save”.
