AXIS 292 - Video Sources

Video Source Type - Set the AXIS 292 to automatically detect the video source format, or select the required

format from the drop-down list. Autodetect attempts to detect formats in the following order:

• MPEG-4 RTP multicast

•

MPEG-4 RTP unicast

• MPEG-4 RTP over RTSP

• MPEG-4 RTP over RTSP over HTTP

• MPEG-4 RTP over RTSP over HTTPS

• MPEG-2 multicast

•MPEG-2 unicast

•Motion JPEG

• Motion JPEG over HTTPS

Selecting Autodetect is recomme

nded in most cases, but there are exceptions. For example, if Autodetect is

selected and the video source supports MPEG-2 Multicast, then that format will automatically be selected.

However, if the multicast data is not correctly routed, the video stream from the encoder will not reach the

AXIS 292. In this case, the format should instead be set to MPEG-2 unicast.

As video sources are added to the AXIS 292

they are stored in the unit’s cache. This makes reconnecting to a

source much faster. Note that performing certain actions will empty the unit’s cache and start a new round of

autodetection.

Note:

When autodetect is used to connect to a new encoder for the first time, the connection will take longer to complete.

Resolution - This setting is only valid for Motion JPEG video sources. To use a resolution other than the

source's default value, check the Custom box and enter the required resolution. If the selected resolution is

not available in the encoder, the current setting will be used instead.

The resolutions available depend on the encoder being use

d. Please see the encoder’s online help for the

available resolutions.

Compression - This compression setting is only valid for Motion JPEG video sources.

To use a compression

other than the source's default value, check the Custom box and enter a custom compression value (0-100).

Interlace Mode - The interlace mode is only valid

for Motion JPEG video sources, and is used mainly when

the video stream is from an encoder with a high resolution (e.g. 4CIF) and an external analog camera is in

use. Leave as Autodetect (recommended), or if moving objects appear to shake, select Interlaced or Progressive

(depending on the camera’s mode) to obtain a better image. See the online help for more information.

PTZ preset - If the video source has Pan/Tilt/Zoom capability, it is also possible to

select a PTZ preset position

view, by entering the name of the preset here. To add new preset positions, please refer to the manual for the

video source. To check that the PTZ preset works, click the Test button after entering the preset name. The

PTZ device/camera should then move to the selected view.
