Friendly Name: You can enter a friendly name for a video channel. This feature is useful for labeling
cameras by their location.
Video Standard Format: Choose either NTSC and PAL.
High Performance Image Processing: the Enable Deinterlace Algorithm congures the encoder to
merge even frames with odd frames to produce a higher quality image.
• Hardware platform: Deinterlacing performed by the internal hardware (DSP is not used)
• DSP software - Best Quality: Processed by DSP software (approx. 15% of DSP is used)
• DSP software- Best Performance: Processed by DSP software (approx. 5% of DSP is used)
What is deinterlace?
When an analog image is transferred to the encoding system of the device, the signal alternates
between odd frames (frames of odd numbered scan lines) and even frames (frames of even
numbered scan lines). When deinterlacing is enabled, the encoder merges the odd frames and the
even frames into one frame with both odd and even numbered scan lines.
NOTE
When the DSP load exceeds 80%, an indicator on the VIEW screen turns red. High DSP loads
affect the performance of the device. A high DSP load can be caused by high bitrates in stream
data.
Attribute Setting
Brightness, contrast, hue, saturation and sharpness can be adjusted.
• Brightness: Adjustment range is from 0 to 255, the default is 128.
• Contrast: Adjustment range is from 0 to 255, the default is 92.
• Hue: Adjustment range is from 0 to 255, the default is 128.
• Saturation: Adjustment range is from 0 to 255, the default is 128.
• Sharpness: Adjustment range is from 0 to 255, the default is 128.
Adjusting the location of image
When the image does not t on the screen, you can change its position so that it can be viewed
effectively. The range is from 1 to 128 increments vertically or horizontally. For NTSC the default is 20;
for PAL, 25.
