Chapter 4 Common Settings
Go to setting page: Configuration → Common Settings to set video parameters, image
parameters, OSD parameters, and time parameters of the device.
4.1 Video Settings
This part introduces the settings of video parameters, such as, stream type, video encoding, and
resolution.
Go to setting page: Configuration → Video/Audio → Video.
4.1.1 Stream Type
For device supports more than one stream, you can specify parameters for each stream type.
Main Stream
The stream stands for the best stream performance the device supports. It usually offers the
best resolution and frame rate the device can do. But high resolution and frame rate usually
means larger storage space and higher bandwidth requirements in transmission.
4.1.2 Video Type
Select the content (video and audio) that should be contained in the stream.
Video Stream
Only video content is contained in the stream.
Video&Audio
Video content and audio content are contained in the composite stream.
4.1.3 Resolution
Select video resolution according to actual needs. Higher resolution requires higher bandwidth
and storage.
4.1.4 Bitrate Type and Max. Bitrate
Constant Bitrate
It means that the stream is compressed and transmitted at a comparatively fixed bitrate. The
compression speed is fast, but mosaic may occur on the image.
Acoustic Imager User Manual
9
Variable Bitrate
It means that the device automatically adjust the bitrate under the set Max. Bitrate. The
compression speed is slower than that of the constant bitrate. But it guarantees the image
quality of complex scenes.
4.1.5 Video Quality
When Bitrate Type is set as Variable, video quality is configurable. Select a video quality according
to actual needs. Note that higher video quality requires higher bandwidth.
4.1.6 Frame Rate
The frame rate is to describe the frequency at which the video stream is updated and it is
measured by frames per second (fps).
A higher frame rate is advantageous when there is movement in the video stream, as it maintains
image quality throughout. Note that higher frame rate requires higher bandwidth and larger
storage space.
4.1.7 Video Encoding
It stands for the compression standard the device adopts for video encoding.
Note
Available compression standards vary according to device models.
H.264
H.264, also known as MPEG-4 Part 10, Advanced Video Coding, is a compression standard.
Without compressing image quality, it increases compression ratio and reduces the size of video
file than MJPEG or MPEG-4 Part 2.
H.265
H.265, also known as High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) and MPEG-H Part 2, is a compression
standard. In comparison to H.264, it offers better video compression at the same resolution, frame
rate and image quality.
I-Frame Interval
I-frame interval defines the number of frames between 2 I-frames.
In H.264 and H.265, an I-frame, or intra frame, is a self-contained frame that can be independently
decoded without any reference to other images. An I-frame consumes more bits than other
frames. Thus, video with more I-frames, in other words, smaller I-frame interval, generates more
Acoustic Imager User Manual
10
steady and reliable data bits while requiring more storage space.
SVC
Scalable Video Coding (SVC) is the name for the Annex G extension of the H.264 or H.265 video
compression standard.
The objective of the SVC standardization has been to enable the encoding of a high-quality video
bitstream that contains one or more subset bitstreams that can themselves be decoded with a
complexity and reconstruction quality similar to that achieved using the existing H.264 or H.265
design with the same quantity of data as in the subset bitstream. The subset bitstream is derived
by dropping packets from the larger bitstream.
SVC enables forward compatibility for older hardware: the same bitstream can be consumed by
basic hardware which can only decode a low-resolution subset, while more advanced hardware
will be able decode high quality video stream.
4.1.8 Smoothing
It refers to the smoothness of the stream. The higher value of the smoothing is, the better fluency
of the stream will be, though, the video quality may not be so satisfactory. The lower value of the
smoothing is, the higher quality of the stream will be, though it may appear not fluent.
4.2 Display Settings
It offers the parameter settings to adjust image features.
Go to Configuration → Image → Display Settings.
Click Default to restore settings.
4.2.1 Scene Mode
There are several sets of image parameters predefined for different installation environments.
Select a scene according to the actual installation environment to speed up the display settings.
Image Adjustment
By adjusting the Brightness, Saturation, Contrast and Sharpness, the image can be best displayed.
Exposure Settings
Exposure is controlled by the combination of iris, shutter, and photo sensibility. You can adjust
image effect by setting exposure parameters.
In manual mode, you need to set Exposure Time, Gain and Slow Shutter.

White Balance
White balance is the white rendition function of the device. It is used to adjust the color
temperature according to the environment.
Figure 4-1 White Balance
DNR
Digital Noise Reduction is used to reduce the image noise and improve the image quality. Normal
and Expert modes are selectable.
Normal
Set the DNR level to control the noise reduction degree. The higher level means stronger
reduction degree.

4.2.2 Video Standard
Video standard is an ability of a video card or video display device that defines the amount of
colors that are shown and the resolution. In PAL, 25 or 50 frames are transmitted each second.
Each frame is made up of 625 individual scan lines. Select video signal standard according to the

file than MJPEG or MPEG-4 Part 2.
H.265
H.265, also known as High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) and MPEG-H Part 2, is a compression
standard. In comparison to H.264, it offers better video compression at the same resolution, frame
rate and image quality.
I-Frame Interval
I-frame interval defines the number of frames between 2 I-frames.
In H.264 and H.265, an I-frame, or intra frame, is a self-contained frame that can be independently
decoded without any reference to other images. An I-frame consumes more bits than other
frames. Thus, video with more I-frames, in other words, smaller I-frame interval, generates more

steady and reliable data bits while requiring more storage space.
SVC
Scalable Video Coding (SVC) is the name for the Annex G extension of the H.264 or H.265 video
compression standard.
The objective of the SVC standardization has been to enable the encoding of a high-quality video
bitstream that contains one or more subset bitstreams that can themselves be decoded with a
complexity and reconstruction quality similar to that achieved using the existing H.264 or H.265
design with the same quantity of data as in the subset bitstream. The subset bitstream is derived
by dropping packets from the larger bitstream.
SVC enables forward compatibility for older hardware: the same bitstream can be consumed by
basic hardware which can only decode a low-resolution subset, while more advanced hardware
will be able decode high quality video stream.
5.1.8 Smoothing
It refers to the smoothness of the stream. The higher value of the smoothing is, the better fluency
of the stream will be, though, the video quality may not be so satisfactory. The lower value of the
smoothing is, the higher quality of the stream will be, though it may appear not fluent.
