Configure video encoding
You can configure the video encoding settings for each channel using the Admin panel. Video encoding
settings include:
l
Video codec : The video codec determines the type of compression and decompression, and also
affects the video quality. Options are H.264 (default) and Motion JPEG.
l
Hardware or software encoding : Hardware encoding is the default setting and is the recommended
encoding for use with Pearl Mini.
l
Encoding level : This can be set to High, Main, or Baseline.
l
Frame size: The resolution applied to the channel when you stream, record, or output video to a
confidence monitor. This can be set to automatically match the input video's resolution or set to a fixed
resolution.
l
Key frame interval : How often a key frame that contains all the pixels is sent when streaming. The
longer the key frame interval, the smaller the video file size (and vice versa).
