Tab Description
H.264, MPEG-4,
Part 10 or
Advanced Video
Coding (AVC)
maintaining better quality than its predecessor.
— Created to address a broad range of applications from low
bit rate to high bit rate and from low resolution such as cell
phones to high resolution such as broadcast.
— The Niagara SCX H.264 is baseline profile.
— MPEG-4, Part
2, or H.263
— Applies to situations where other conditions of the
applications, like network bandwidth or device size, mandate
low bit rate and low resolution.
— Examples of video applications for H.263 include cell
phones, some low-end video conferencing systems, and
surveillance systems.
— H.263 remains important for legacy handheld devices that
do not support H.264.
— H.263 – MP4
MPEG-4, Part
2, or H.263
— For situations where other conditions of the applications,
like network bandwidth or device size mandate low bit rate
and low resolution.
— Examples of video applications for H.263 include cell
phones, some low-end video conferencing systems, and
surveillance systems.
— H.263 remains important for legacy handheld devices that
do not support H.264.
NOTE: By default, the Niagara SCX H.263 uses Simple Profile
unless you select the Enable B Frames option. If you enable B
frames, the resulting stream becomes Advanced Simple Profile.
— H.263 – 3G2 Creates an H.263 stream stored in a 3G2 container.
— H.263 – 3GP Creates an H.263 stream stored in a 3GPP container.
— MPEG4 –
3GP
— Exemplifies a multimedia container format defined by the
Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) for use on 3G
mobile phones.
— It stores video streams such as MPEG-4 or H.264 and audio
streams such as AMR or AAC.
— The two defined standards for this format include:
1) 3GPP for GSM based mobile phones
2) 3GPP2 for CDMA based mobile phones
— Creates an H.263 stream stored in a 3GPP container.
— H.264 – 3G2 Creates an H.264 stream stored in a 3G2 container.
— H.264 – 3GP Creates an H.264 stream stored in a 3GPP container.
