Note:TVU Receiver is able to set maximum bit rate for AVCG (QoS) and SHQ (QoS) modeof STREAMING MODE on P2 camera/recorder.
- Available maximum bit rate to be set is on QoS MAX RATE menu list.
- If TVU Receiver setting bit rate is different from the list above,
the bit rate is cut down to the nearest setting value of the list.
- If TVU Receiver setting bit rate is smaller than QoS MIN RATE setting value,codec bit rate is fixed as TVU Receiver setting.
- When TVU Receiver does not set maximum bit rate, the codec bit rate is set
as QoS MAX RATE setting value of camera menu.
- In the case of fixed bit rate settings like AVC-G6, HQ and LOW of STREAMING MODE,
Receiver’s bit rate setting is ignored and codec bit rate is fixed depending on thevideo resolution.
When the latency is less than 1000msec, live streaming might be unstable regardlessnetwork latency.
The latency is fixed after starting streaming. Please stop streaming if you would liketo change the latency setting.
Some of the functions are not available.
(e.g. IFB, Message, File Download, GPS, Camcorder control).
