Network Requirements

• Ensure that there is sufficient network bandwidth for the data volume to be sent out by camera. Do not send multicast stream that exceeds the bandwidth. If the entire bandwidth is used by the multicast stream, control of this camera via the network may fail.
  ● Data volume to be sent by camera varies with the settings and number of distributions.
• The maximum bit rate for transmission is about 20 Mbps.

Estimation of Total Bit Rate

The total JPEG bit rate from camera is determined by the camera settings, number of clients, and the client's requested number of frames. The total MPEG4 bit rate from camera is determined by the number of distributions. Develop a design upon taking the above into consideration.

Bit Rate of JPEG Stream

The JPEG file size per frame varies with the encoding settings as well as input video signals. The following table shows typical sizes. When VFS is selected, the quantization table during JPEG encoding will be maintained, and the file size will increase/decrease according to the input signals. When AFS is selected, encoding will be performed such that the target file size is the average size of multiple JPEG images.

■AFS (Average File Size)

(*X) is applicable to VN-X series only.

Selectable Range for Distribution File Size
Quad VGA(※X)	VGA QVGA
40 KB to 200 KB	10 KB to 100 KB	3 KB to 33 KB

■VFS(Variable File Size)

(*X) is applicable to VN-X series only.

The maximum number of distributions varies with the bit rate settings as well as the client's requested frame rate. Up to 20 streams can be distributed (including multicast). The total frame rate refers to the sum of these frame rates.

For example, when 10 fps is requested by two clients, and in addition, multicast is transmitted at a rate of 10 fps, the total frame rate will be:

$$ 1 0 + 1 0 + 1 0 = 3 0 \mathrm{fps} $$

For example, when 5 fps is requested by two clients, and in addition, multicast is transmitted at a rate of 5 fps, the total frame rate will be:

$$ 5 + 5 + 5 = 1 5 \mathrm{fps} $$

If JPEG file size per piece is 120KB, total bit rate will be:

$$ 1 2 0 \mathrm{KB} \times 1 5 \mathrm{fps} = 1 8 0 0 \mathrm{KB/s} = 1 4. 4 \mathrm{Mbps} $$

Bit Rate of MPEG4 Stream

You can select either the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR) system for MPEG4 stream.

When the VBR system is selected, the bit rate varies according to the condition of the input video signals. The VBR system delivers a stable picture quality, but forecast of the bit rate is difficult. When the CBR system is selected, encoding is performed at a fixed bit rate regardless of the condition of the input video signals. The picture quality varies under the CBR system, but the bit rate can be easily forecasted.

You can specify an estimated bit rate for both VBR and CBR. (64 kbps to 8000 kbps)

Network Requirements (continued)

Bit Rate of Audio

Only 1 audio data stream can be received. Data volume for 1 audio stream is 64 kbps. Audio data volume may be calculated using the following formula.

64 kbps x no. of streams

The number of streams is the total number of streams sent via TCP (number of clients), streams sent via multicast, and stream received by camera (Example) When camera sends out 2 audio streams and receives 1 audio stream, data volume will be as follows. 64 kbps x 3 = 192 kbps

Restrictions on the Number of Distributions for camera

The maximum number of distributions for camera is determined by the settings as well as requirements from the client.

For JPEG distribution, you can select either "Frame Rate Priority" mode or "Client number Priority" mode. "Frame Rate Priority" mode distributes JPEG images according to the frame rate requested by the client. The maximum number of distributions is determined based on the highest bit rate within the distribution streams. For "Client number Priority" mode, if there are requests from multiple clients, JPEG images are distributed in a lower frame rate than that requested to cater to multiple clients. It can accept 20 distribution requests as the maximum number of clients.

■ When Frame Rate Priority Mode is Selected

JPEG images are distributed at the frame rate requested by the client.

When a distribution request that exceeds the maximum number of distributions is received, this request is denied.

- When only JPEG images are distributed

For example, if Client A requests for JPEG at 1 Mbps, while Client B requests for JPEG at 5 Mbps, additional 2 streams (total 4 streams) of distribution are possible for request below 5 Mbps.

Maximum number of distributions when only JPEG data is distributed

Distribution at maximum bit rate	Maximum number of distributions	Total maximum bit rate
1 Mbps and below	20 20 Mbps
5 Mbps and below	4 20 Mbps
10 Mbps and below	2 20 Mbps
Larger than 10 Mbps	1 Maximum	configurable value (24 Mbps)

●W hen both JPEG and MPEG4 images are distributed

When both JPEG and MPEG4 images are distributed simultaneously, distribution up to two clients for JPEG and three clients for MPEG4 respectively is possible. However, distribution requests that exceed a total bit rate of 20 Mbps will be denied.

Maximum number of distributions when JPEG and MPEG4 data is distributed

Maximum number of distributions for JPEG	Maximum number of distributions for MPEG4	Total bit rate
2 3 20 Mbps and		below

- When only MPEG4 images are distributed

The maximum number of distributions is determined by the preset bit rate. When a distribution request that exceeds the maximum number of distributions is received, this request is denied.

When distributing only MPEG4 data

Preset bit rate	Maximum number of distributions	Total maximum bit rate
0.6 Mbps and below	20 12 Mbps
3 Mbps and below	4 12 Mbps
4 Mbps and below	3 12 Mbps
6 Mbps and below	2 12 Mbps
Larger than 6 Mbps	1 Maximum	configurable value (8 Mbps)

■ When Client number Priority Mode is Selected

- When only JPEG images are distributed If the distribution request would be accepted in the frame rate priority mode, distribution works in the same way as frame rate priority mode, where JPEG images are distributed at the frame rate requested by the client. If the distribution request would be denied in the frame rate priority mode, the frame rate is controlled such that the maximum bit rate is as shown in the following table, to accept distribution requests from up to 20 clients. For example, if Client A and B request for JPEG at 10 Mbps, and Client C requests for JPEG at 5 Mbps, the frame rate will be reduced such that the distribution bit rate to each client is less than 5 Mbps.

Maximum bit rate when only JPEG data is distributed

Current number of distributions	Maximum bit rate	Total maximum bit rate
2 and below 10 Mbps	20 Mbps
3 to 4 5 Mbps	20 Mbps
5 to 20 1 Mbps	20 Mbps

- When both JPEG and MPEG4 images are distributed. When both JPEG and MPEG4 images are distributed, distribution works in the same way as frame rate priority mode if the distribution request would be accepted in the frame rate priority mode. If the distribution request would be denied in the frame rate priority mode, the frame rate is controlled such that the maximum bit rate is as shown in the following table, to accept distribution requests for up to a total number of 20 JPEG and MPEG distributions. However, distribution requests for which the total bit rate of the MPEG4 distribution stream exceeds 10 Mbps will be denied.

Maximum JPEG bit rate when only JPEG and MPEG4 data is distributed

Current number of distributions	Maximum bit rate	Total maximum bit rate
2 and below 5	Mbps 10 Mbps
3 to 4 2.5 Mbps	10 Mbps
5 to 20 0.5 Mbps	10 Mbps

When only MPEG4 images are distributed, the maximum number of distributions is determined by the preset bit rate. When a distribution request that exceeds the maximum number of distributions is received, this request is denied.

When distributing only MPEG4 data (Page 4)

Memo:

- If the bit rate is changed when image distribution is in progress, the restriction on distribution may not work correctly.

Insufficient network bandwidth

When there is insufficient bandwidth, the number of JPEG frames (frame rate) that the client can acquire will decrease. Delay will also occur in the distribution of images. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail. There may be a longer delay or interruption in the audio.

Network Delay

When the client acquires JPEG via TCP, camera will send out data while checking the ACK from the client at the same time. For networks with considerable delay, data cannot be sent out until ACK is received, and therefore the frame rate will drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Audio may be interrupted.

Decrease in the frame rate due to network delays can be eliminated by receiving data via multicast.

Network Jitter

When there is considerable network jitter, delay time may be prolonged and the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Audio may be interrupted.

Packet Loss

When acquiring images from camera via TCP, packet loss may be recovered by TCP transmission. When there is considerable delay in the network, however, missing data may occur and the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Audio may be interrupted.

When packet loss occurs during multicast sending from camera, the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Audio may be interrupted.
