Encoder

Recording Stream

Setting	Description
Encoder Mode	Sets the bit rate mode for the streamencoder. Available values are: Variable Bitrate mode VBR, Constant Bitrate mode CBR or in Constant-Variable Bitrate mode CVBR. CBR constant bitrate. The encoder attempts to maintain a constant output bitrate by adjusting image quality as necessary. The bitrate will be determined by the setting of the “Bitrate” parameter. VBR variable bitrate. The encoder attempts to maintain constant image quality by adjusting the output bitrate as necessary. The quality level will be determined by the setting of the Quality parameter. CVBR constant-variable bitrate. As long as there is no motion in the scene, the encoder attempts to maintain a constant output bitrate by adjusting image quality as necessary. The bitrate will be determined by the setting of the Bitrate parameter. When the scene includes motion, the camera will increase the output bitrate (up to a maximum determined by the setting of the Maximum Bitrate parameter) for an extended period of time. When that time ends, the camera will reduce the bitrate as needed to achieve a long term average bitrate equal to the setting of the Bitrate parameter. (Variable Bitrate mode VBR, Constant Bitrate mode CBR or in Constant-Variable Bitrate mode CVBR)
Bitrate (kbit/s)	When the Encoder Mode parameter is set to CBR, sets the bit rate for the stream. When the Encoder Mode parameter is set to CVBR, sets the bitrate during the periods when the encoder is operating in constant mode.
Maximum Bitrate (kbit/s)	When the Encoder Mode parameter is set to CVBR, sets the maximum allowed bitrate for the stream during the periods when the encoder is operating in variable mode.

Description

Encoder Mode

Sets the bit rate mode for the streamencoder.

Available values are: Variable Bitrate mode VBR, Constant Bitrate mode CBR or in Constant-Variable Bitrate mode CVBR.

CBR constant bitrate. The encoder attempts to maintain a constant output bitrate by adjusting image quality as necessary. The bitrate will be determined by the setting of the “Bitrate” parameter.

VBR variable bitrate. The encoder attempts to maintain constant image quality by adjusting the output bitrate as necessary. The quality level will be determined by the setting of the Quality parameter.

CVBR constant-variable bitrate. As long as there is no motion in the scene, the encoder attempts to maintain a constant output bitrate by adjusting image quality as necessary.

The bitrate will be determined by the setting of the Bitrate parameter. When the scene includes motion, the camera will increase the output bitrate (up to a maximum determined by the setting of the Maximum Bitrate parameter) for an extended period of time.

When that time ends, the camera will reduce the bitrate as needed to achieve a long term average bitrate equal to the setting of the Bitrate parameter. (Variable Bitrate mode VBR, Constant Bitrate mode CBR or in Constant-Variable Bitrate mode CVBR)

Bitrate (kbit/s)

When the Encoder Mode parameter is set to CBR, sets the bit rate for the stream.

When the Encoder Mode parameter is set to CVBR, sets the bitrate during the periods when the encoder is operating in constant mode.

Maximum Bitrate (kbit/s)

When the Encoder Mode parameter is set to CVBR, sets the maximum allowed bitrate for the stream during the periods when the encoder is operating in variable mode.

Name	Description
Encoder Mode	Sets the bit rate mode for the streamencoder (VBR, CBR or CVBR) (see above).
Bitrate (kbit/s)	When the Encoder Mode parameter is set to CBR, sets the bit rate for the stream. When the Encoder Mode parameter is set to CVBR, sets the bitrate during the periods when the encoder is operating in constant mode.
Maximum Bitrate (kbit/s)	When the Encoder Mode parameter is set to CVBR, sets the maximum allowed bitrate for the stream during the periods when the encoder is operating in variable mode.
