Camera Setting Requirements
●Ensure that there is sufficient network
bandwidth for the data volume to be sent out
by camera. Also, do not send multicast
stream that exceeds the bandwidth. If the
entire bandwidth is used by the multicast
stream, you may fail to control the camera via
the network.
●Data volume to be sent by camera 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 camera is
determined by the JPEG file size, number of
clients, and number of frames requested by
clients. The total H.264 bit rate from camera is
determined by the number of distributions.
Design the system by considering these points.
Bit Rate of JPEG Stream
The JPEG file size per frame varies with the
encoding settings as well as input video signals.
When AFS (or Average File Size) is selected,
image is encoded so that the average size of
multiple JPEG files becomes the target file size.
If VFS (or Variable File Size) is selected, the
quantization table during JPEG encoding will be
maintained, and the file size will be increased or
decreased according to the input signals.
For JPEG file size details, see the "Encoding"
page. (APage 24)
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 = 15 fps
If JPEG file size per piece is 120 KB, the total bit
rate will be:
120 KB x 15 fps = 1800 KB/s
= Approx. 14.4 Mbps
For detailed bit rate settings, see the "Encoding"
page. (APage 24)
If Multi Resolution is selected, the JPEG file size
varies with the channels used.
For example, when 2 fps of 30 KB JPEG file and
3 fps of 10 KB JPEG file are sent, the total frame
rate will be:
30 KB x 2 fps + 10 KB x 3 fps = 90 KB/s
= Approx. 0.72 Mbps
Bit Rate of H.264 and MPEG-4 Streams
You can select either the Variable Bit Rate
(VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR) system for
H.264 and MPEG-4 streams.
When the VBR system is selected, the bit rate
varies according to the condition of input video
signals. The VBR system delivers a stable
picture quality, but it is difficult to forecast the bit
rate.
When the CBR system is selected, data is
encoded at a fixed bit rate regardless of the
condition of input video signals. The picture
quality varies under the CBR system, but the bit
rage can be easily forecasted.
You can specify an estimated bit rate for both
VBR and CBR. (64 kbps to 8192 kbps)
Memo:
●"MPEG-4" is represented on this unit's
screens as "MPEG4".

Restrictions on the Number of
Distributions for Camera
The maximum number of distributions for
camera is determined by the settings as well as
requirements from the client.
For JPEG distribution, you can select either
AFrame Rate PriorityBmode or AClient Number
PriorityBmode. AFrame Rate PriorityBmode
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 AClient Number PriorityBmode, 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 as 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 stream (total 4 streams) of
distribution are possible for request below 5 Mbps.
Maximum number of distributions when only
JPEG images are distributed
●When both JPEG and H.264 data is distributed
When both JPEG and H.264 images are distributed
simultaneously, up to two clients for JPEG and
three clients for H.264 can be distributed,
respectively. However, distribution requests that
exceeds a total bit rate of 20 Mbps will be denied.
Maximum number of distributions when
JPEG and H.264 data is distributed
●When distributing only H.264 data
The maximum number of distributions is determined
by the preset bit rate. When a distribution request
that exceeds the maximum number of distributions
is received, this request is denied.
Maximum number of distributions when
H.264 data is only distributed
䡵When Client Number Priority Mode is
Selected
●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 Clients A
and B request for JPEG at 10 Mbps, the frame
rate will be reduced such that the distribution bit
rate to each client is less than 5 Mbps.
Maximum bit rate when only JPEG data is
distributed
●When both JPEG and H.264 data is distributed
When both JPEG and H.264 images are
distributed, distribution works in the same way as
frame rate priority mode if the distribution request
would be accepted in the frame rate priority
mode. 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 left table (Maximum number of
distributions when JPEG and H.264 data is
distributed), to accept distribution requests for up
to 20 a total number of 20 JPEG and H.264
distributions. However, distribution requests for
which the total bit rate of the H.264 distribution
stream exceeds 10 Mbps will be denied.

Camera Setting Requirements
Insufficient Network Bandwidth
When there is insufficient bandwidth, the
number of JPEG frames (frame rate) that the
client can acquire will decrease. Also, the image
distribution will delay. In the case of H.264, noise
interference may occur and playback may fail.
Network Delay
When the client acquires JPEG via TCP, camera
will send out data while checking the ACK from
the client at the same time. For networks with
considerably delay, data cannot be sent out until
ACK is received, and therefore the frame rate
will drop. In the case of H.264, noise
interference may occur and playback may fail.
A 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 H.264, noise
interference may occur and playback may fail.
Packet Loss
When acquiring images from camera via TCP,
packet loss may be recovered by TCP
transmission. When there is considerable delay
in the network, however, data may lost and the
image frame rate may drop. In the case of
H.264, noise interference may occur and
playback may fail.
If a packet is lost during multicast transmission
from camera, the image frame rate may drop. In
the case of H.264, noise interference may occur
and playback may fail.

H.264 Profiles
High profiles can maintain high image quality
with a low bit rate, but as the decoder needs to
support high profiles, the processing load on the
decoder becomes heavier.
Compared to high profiles, baseline profile offers
lower compression performance, but the
processing load on the decoder will be reduced.
Selecting high profiles is recommended if the
decoder has sufficient processing ability.
The camera supports both the H.264 Baseline
Profile and H.264 High Profile standards.
PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom)
This camera has a digital PTZ function. While
monitoring, the function can cut out an arbitrary area,
move within the range of shooting and enlarge the
image as if you were operating a PTZ camera.
