The Streaming Settings page (FIG. 110) adjusts the Video properties of the incoming MPEG video
streaming from the external content server.

Streaming Settings Page Elements
Back: Saves the changes and returns you to the previously active touch panel page.
Connection Status icon: This visual display of the connection status allows the user to have a current
visual update of the panel’s connection status regardless of what page is
currently active.
• A Lock only appears on the icon if the panel has established a connection
with a currently secured target Master (requiring a username and password).
Settings: • The Default Settings button sets the streaming video settings to their default
values (indicated in this table).
• The Undo Changes button disregards any changes made on the page since
the last settings were saved.
• The Save Settings button saves any changes made to the Video Setup page.
Video Settings: • The Sharpness button toggles the Interpolate (Sharpness) feature.
Default = On.
• The Interlace button toggles the Interlacing feature.
Default = On.
Video: This read-only field displays the video stream information
(Video Streaming format and resolution).
• The properties of this incoming (detected) stream is given as: Video Codec
and Resolution.
• An example would be: MPEG2 720x480. This means that the incoming video
is an MPEG2 video stream with resolution 720x480.
Codec
(Short for enCOder/
DECoder or COmpressor/
DECompressor) • Supported MPEG codecs: MPEG-2 or MPEG-4
• MPEG-2 is typically used to encode audio and video for broadcast quality
signals. The MPEG-2 is enhanced by using MPEG-1's audio (MP2)
component to allow the coding of audio programs with more than two
channels. Video quality is noticeably higher with MPEG-2 vs MPEG-4.
• MPEG-4 is currently used as a standard for the web (streaming media) and
CD distribution, conversational (videophone), and broadcast television. The
biggest difference between these two encoding types is that MPEG-4 uses
about 1/3 to 1/2 less bandwidth for the same quality of video.
