Value Description

Baseline Choose this option when streaming to an application that requires robustness

and cannot tolerate data loss, for example video-conferencing.

Main Choose this option for standard-definition broadcasts. This is the default.

Default Choose this option when video is viewed for broadcast and disk storage

applications, particularly for high definition television application such as Blu-ray

disk storage format and HDTV broadcast service.

Video encoding profile and preset can be set when H.264 codec is selected.

6. Check the check box for Enhanced compatibility mode (h.264 slicing for RTP) to provide operating

stability when the video and audio stream are not supported by the viewer’s equipment. When this

feature is enabled, each frame is sub divided into one or more slices. Each slice is self-contained, all

information for decoding is available within the slice. This is valuable when packet size exceeds the

maximum allowable amount. Therefore losing a slice will not impact the entire frame.

Packet slicing adds to overhead and impacts compression efficiency. A value can be set

when H.264 codec is selected.

7. Set the Rate Control mode when H.264 and MPEG4 codecs are set. The values define how strictly the

codec adheres to the specified bitrate. Choose one of the following options from the Rate control mode

drop-down menu.

quality if there is a lot of motion.
