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 re-
transmitting 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-to-date
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.

PixelPro Series ZN-BxMTP Series User’s Manual
10-2014-A
14
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.

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.

PixelPro Series ZN-BxMTP Series User’s Manual
10-2014-A
16
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.
Average Bit-rate (512Kbps ~ 10Mbps)
Recommended bit rate for D1: 800Kbps ~ 1Mbps
Recommended bit rate for 1.3M(720p): 3Mbps ~ 4Mbps
Recommended bit rate for 2.0M(1080p): 6Mbps ~ 8Mbps
