3. CPU: Pentium 4 3.8GHz, memory: 1GB, graphics board: Quadro FX1700
When using the VB-C60 with Resolution=340 x 240 and Quality=3:
Total frame rate:
JPEG image---Max. 280 fps
MPEG-4 video---Max. 240 fps
Network Bandwidth Concept
You should consider the network bandwidth when recording video or viewing live video from the network
camera.
The network bandwidths should be calculated separately for recording and live viewing.
Example:
With one recording server (QVGA, 1 fps) and two live viewing servers (QVGA, 5 fps):
• Bandwidth for recording
12.5 (KB/frame) x 1 (frame/sec) x 8 (bits) = 100 Kbps
• Bandwidth for live viewing (per server)
12.5 (KB/frame) x 5 (frame/sec) x 8 (bits) = 500 Kbps
Therefore, required network bandwidth is calculated as follows:
100 Kbps x 1 + 500 Kbps x 2 = 1100 Kbps = Approx. 1.1 Mbps
Note that the line speed unit is bps (bits per second).
Tip
z The total frame rate is calculated as: Number of Camera Servers in the Viewer window x Frame rate. That
means, with 10 Camera Servers and 10 fps frame rate, the total frame rate is 100 fps.
z Note that the total frame rate above varies depending on the combination of the PC and graphics board.
It is also affected by other applications (e.g., anti-virus application) running on the same PC.
z When displaying MPEG-4 video in VGA, the maximum frame rates are the one-forth of the above frame
rates.
