Intra Interval
This is the interval, in frames, at which the encoder will send an I-Frame (Key Frame). I-Frames
require significantly more memory than their counterparts — P-Frames — so lowering this value can
increase the bit rate or lower the video quality. On the other hand, I-Frames are necessary to
resynchronize the output video when searching for a specific video event. Generally, a value between
30 and 120 should be appropriate. For some networks, setting this value at 0 will help avoid data rate
peaks.
Bandwidth Control
This option permits you to dynamically modify the encoding bit rate and frame rate in relation to the
number of packets lost between a transmitter and receiver. If set to 1 (enabled), this option will work
only if:
• The video is transmitted from a Verint transmitter to a Verint receiver.
• The connection has been established properly with SConfigurator, with the proper GUID and IP
addresses in the configuration.
This option is useful for wired or wireless links that do not always have the same available throughput.
Instead of losing a lot of packets over a long period of time, the transmitter will reduce the bit rate up
to 1/8 of the original and the frame rate up to 1/2. The quality will be affected, but at least the video
will be acceptable.
NOTE: This option is available only in single/dual input edge devices. In single-input edge devices,
when the option (menu) is not present, the default setting is 1, but it can be reset by changing the
Target Bit Rate or target file size.
Remote IP Address
This is the IP address of the device (VRU, PC) to which the encoder is sending a static (non-volatile)
stream. You can set a Multicast IP address if required.
UDP Data Port
This is the port used by the User Datagram Protocol, or UDP. The receiver must tune into this same
port in order to get the stream. In TCP mode, the unit will use the VSIP port.
