[Quality]:You can choose the right quality according to your need: Fine, Normal, Basic,and the
parameters can also be user-de ined by choosing [advanced].
[I frame interval]: Adjustable between 1～200(Pre erred Stream), 1～120(Alternate
Stream).Smaller I rame interval means higher image bitrate and better image quality. It is
recommended to set the I rame interval as above 25.
[Frame rate]: Set encoding rame rate per second. Under poor network condition, rame rate
can be reduced to control encoding bitrate to make motion images low more smoothly.
[Rate control]: CBR and VBR are optional. CBR adopts constant encoding bitrate, VBR
adopts variable encoding bitrate.
[Bitrate]:The range o pre erred and alternate stream is 30~16384Kbps.Higher bitrate setting
can generate better image quality, but it occupies more bandwidth, please adjust the setting
according to your actual bandwidth.
