Compression
The section “Compression” allows the user to define the compression settings of
the video stream 1 and stream 2. The purpose of compression is to reduce the bandwidth and
VMS storage consumption.
Usually the stream 1 is configured to be the best quality stream for NVR recording purposes while
the stream 2 is configured to be with the basic quality for the live view of NVR, to minimize the
computing power of NVR used for video decoding.
There are two encoder types available: H.264 (High Profile) and
MJPEG.
This item is available only if the Encoder Type is H.264.
The H.264 Profile defines the video compression scheme: High
Profile, Main Profile, and Baseline. These schemes vary from least
compressed, Baseline, to most compressed, High Profile. By
default, the H.264 Profile is High Profile, which provides the most
compression with the best video quality, but more computing power.
Some third-party video management system has longer latency or
takes more time to decode High Profile compression scheme, in this
case, you can select Main Profile or Baseline. In order to get the
same video quality, you can select a higher bit rate with lower
compression; this is the same as having a lower bit rate with a High
Profile. For example, a video on High Profile with 2M bit rate will have
the same video quality as a video with Baseline Profile at 3.5M bit
rate.
It is used to define the aspect ratio of VGA stream – it can be either
4:3 ratio (640x480) or 16:9 ratio (640x360). When “Auto Detected” is
chosen, the VGA stream will follow the ratio of the higher resolution
stream, to ensure the identical view of stream 1 and stream 2.
