Panasonic Network Camera Wv Sud638 Operating Instructions

							•Advanced VBR : H.264 images are transmitted at the frame rate specified for  “Frame rate* ” while the image
quality is controlled so that the average transmission rate during the period specified for “Control time
period” becomes the bit rate selected for “Max bit rate (per client)*”.
• Default:  Frame rate
Note
•When “Frame rate” or “Advanced VBR” is selected for “Transmission priority”, number of users who
can access the camera may be limited more (may become less than 10).
[Frame rate*]
Select a frame rate for H.264 images from the following.
1fps/ 3fps/ 5fps*/ 7.5fps*/ 10fps*/ 12fps*/ 15fps*/ 20fps*/ 30fps*/ 60fps*
• Default:  30fps*
Note
•When “Frame rate”, “Advanced VBR”, or “VBR” is selected for “Transmission priority”, this setting is
available.
• “Frame rate*” is restricted by “Max bit rate (per client)*”. For this reason, the frame rate may be lower
than the specified value when any value marked with an asterisk  (*) is selected. When  “VBR” is selected
for “Transmission priority”, depending on the settings of “Max bit rate (per client)*” and “Image
quality”, transmission of images may periodically be paused. Check the transmission of images after
changing settings.
• H.264( 1) will be fixed to 60fps when  “2 mega pixel [16:9] (60fps mode)” or “1.3 mega pixel [16:9] (60fps
mode)” is selected for “Image capture mode”.
[Burst tolerance level]
Select how much the bit rate can exceed “Max bit rate (per client)*” by from the following.
High/Middle/Low
• Default:  Low
Note
•This setting is only available when “Advanced VBR” is selected for “Transmission priority”.
[Control time period]
Select the time period that the bit rate will be controlled for from the following. Images are transmitted so that
the average transmission rate during the selected period becomes the bit rate selected for “Max bit rate (per
client)*”.
1h/6h/24h/1week
• Default:  24h
Note
•This setting is only available when “Advanced VBR” is selected for “Transmission priority”.
[Max bit rate (per client)*]
Select an H.264 bit rate per a client from the following. When “Best effort” is selected for “Transmission
priority”, set the maximum and minimum bit rates.

Note
•The H.264 bit rate is restricted by “Bandwidth control(bit rate)” on the [Network] tab on the “Network”
page ( ®page 126). For this reason, the bit rate may be lower than the value when any value with an
asterisk (*) on the right is selected.
[Image quality]
Select the image quality of H.264 images from the following.

Note
•When “Constant bit rate”, “Best effort”, or “VBR” is selected for “Transmission priority”, this setting is
available.
[Smart Coding mode]
You can turn stream transmission adjustment on and off.
This allows you to reduce the amount of data transmitted when there is little motion in the image.
• Default:  Off
Note
•This setting is available when “Transmission priority” is set to “VBR” .
• When “Smart Coding mode” is set to “On”, the maximum refresh interval becomes 8s.
• When “ Smart Coding mode ” is changed from  “On” to “Off” , the  “Refresh interval”  setting returns to the
“Off” value.
• Turning “Smart Coding mode” to “On” will make refresh interval variable between 1s and 8s. If only
I-frame is used for playback and display, the display interval will change.
[Refresh interval]
Select an interval (I-frame interval; 0.2 - 5 seconds) to refresh the displayed H.264 images.

							If using under a network environment with frequent error occurrences, shorten the refresh interval for H.264
to diminish image distortions. However, the refresh interval may be longer than the set value.
0.2s/ 0.25s/ 0.33s/ 0.5s/ 1s/ 2s/ 3s/ 4s/ 5s
• Default:  1s
[Transmission type]
Select the transmission type of H.264 images from the following.
• Unicast port (AUTO):  Up to 14 users can access a single camera concurrently. “Unicast port1(Image)”
and “Unicast port2(Audio)” will automatically be selected when transmitting images and audio from the
camera. When it is unnecessary to fix the port number for H.264 image transmission such as when using
in a particular LAN environment, it is recommended to select “Unicast port (AUTO)”.
• Unicast port  (MANUAL): Up to 14 users can access a single camera concurrently. It is necessary to select
“ Unicast port1 (Image)” and “Unicast port2 (Audio)” manually to transmit images and audio from the camera.
