MJPEG.

Note

For devices running analytics and the S1816e-SP and S1816e-

SRmodels running in single or legacy mode, only two streams are

available. In this case, Encoder 1 is set to H.264 and Encoder 2 is set to

MPEG4.

Video Profile

Video Profiles define both the quality of the video images and the storage and

bandwidth requirements of the video files. All Video Profiles include at least the

following settings: frame rate, resolution, and bit rate. For each video input,

you can configure the image parameters. With each video input, the S1800e

series devices supports up to quad-stream encoding (triple-stream encoding on

the multiport devices and quad-stream encoding on the single/dual port

devices). Encoding the video inputs provides multiple live-view streams using

different sets of parameters providing high or low quality video for analysis and

a single recording stream using H.264 video compression providing high quality

video at a substantially lower bit rates than previous standards.

Note

Nextiva video management software currently supports a maximum of two

streams and provide four video profiles for the S1800e series devices. For

more information configuring video profiles, refer to the Nextiva

VMSAdministrator Guide.

Configuring the Encoder Properties

For each video input, the S1800e series devices can send video with different

sets of parameters to different locations. The single/dual port devices support

quad-stream encoding with three streams using H.264 compression and one

using MJPEG compression. The multiport devices support triple-stream

encoding provides two streams using H.264 compression and one using MPEG4

compression. You can customize each device in terms of frame rate and

resolution to meet each system requirements.
