There are several parameters through which you can adjust the video performance: ■ Frame size You can set up different video resolutions for different viewing devices.
PAGE 66
VIVOTEK ■ Intra frame period Determine how often for firmware to plant an I frame. The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption. Select the intra frame period from the following durations: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, and 4 seconds.
PAGE 67
VIVOTEK • Smart stream: Smart stream effectively reduces the quality of the whole or the noninterested areas on a screen and therefore reduces the bandwidth consumed. You can manually specify the video quality for the foreground and the background areas. Select an operation mode if Smart stream is preferred. - Auto tracking: The Auto mode configures the whole screen into the background area. The video quality of part of the screen returns to normal when one or more objects move in that area.

VIVOTEK Network > QoS (Quality of Service) Quality of Service refers to a resource reservation control mechanism, which guarantees a certain quality to different services on the network. Quality of service guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufficient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications. Quality can be defined as, for instance, a maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet dropping, etc.
PAGE 87
VIVOTEK QoS/DSCP (the DiffServ model) DSCP-ECN defines QoS at Layer 3 (Network Layer). The Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model is based on packet marking and router queuing disciplines. The marking is done by adding a field to the IP header, called the DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint). This is a 6-bit field that provides 64 different class IDs. It gives an indication of how a given packet is to be forwarded, known as the Per Hop Behavior (PHB).
