3.3 VIDEO SERVER Setting
Video Server setting is divided into video, audio, alarm, and system settings. And the
detailed screen will be provided for each setting.
3.3.1 Video Setting
For image settings, there is 4 division: Channel1, Channel2, Channel3, Channel4, Quad,
and Sequence. Each channel menu contains an image for real-time monitoring and a
menu on network transport, and with this setting alone all the necessary settings for
watching monitoring screens can be completed.
zChannel Setting
Setting method from Channel1 to Channel 4 is the same.
Image Appearance
Resolution
It enables users to determine a basic screen size when having an access through the
Web Browser or PC program.
The screen size control comes in four modes like D1, VGA, CIF, and QCIF. Users can
reset the selected screen size anytime while monitoring the screen on a real-time basis.
Compression
When it is necessary to adjust a smooth transmission status according to network
situations, users can increase the compressibility to carry out the network transmission
stably. On the other hand, when it is necessary to maintain a detailed monitoring
screen by enhancing the image quality, users can do so by decreasing the
compressibility. In ease case, please adjust this function according to the network
status and monitoring purposes. The basic value is 2000(Kbps).

- 9 -
Image filter
The image filter control enables users to reinforce the image quality in a strong or weak
way. The basic value is "disabled.”
BCSH Adjust

MPEG4 Video Stream
Frame rate
Upon the real-time play, users should select a frame refresh rate per second. If the rate
is high, the image will become smooth. On the other hand, if the rate is low, the image
will not be natural but it can reduce a network load.
Bit-rate control
-Variable bit rate (VBR): It refers to the type of using a variable bit rate (VBR). Increase
a bit rate for the image with much motion, and decrease a bit rate for the image with
little motion. The basic setting value is a VBR type.
-Constant bit rate (CBR): Using a constant bit rate (CBR) may guarantee a stable play.
However, if a large amount of data is not required, it may cause the waste of a
transmission rate. If a large amount of data is required, it may cause the image quality
to be decreased.
Profile
SP (Simple Profile) is available up to the CIF resolution and 384kbit/s.
ASP (Advanced Simple Profile) is available up to the 4CIF resolution and 8000kbit/s.
GOV size
Enter the GOV (group of VOP) size. If users want to have a high quality of fast image
one by one, please decrease the value. For the purpose of general monitoring, please
do not change a basic value. Such act may cause a problem to the system
