The H.264 Simple Streaming Server allows you to adjust the Brightness,
Contrast, Saturation and Chroma on a 'per channel basis'. This allows you to
compensate for insufficient lightning and signal strength, where the video
quality is otherwise degraded. The H.264 Simple Streaming Server can stream
out up to 100 channels simultaneously which is equivalent of the combined
channels of 25 DS-4004HI boards. The VIDEO input from each channel (before
the H.264 encoding) is displayed in the Main Window and 4 channels are
displayed at a time. You can select which 4 channels to display with the 'Goto
Channel' drop down combo box or by using the '>>' next and '<<'
previous channel set button. Statistics as the current bit rate is also
shown for the currently selected channel (the channel is selected by
clicking on the video window that you want to display the statistics for).Options Dialog:
The options dialog allows you to configure a wide variety of encoding
parameters as the Maximum bitrate, Bit Rate Type (CBR or VBR), Encoder
Resolution (QCIF, CIF or 4CIF) and many more. Since the configuration can be
done on a 'per channel basis' you can for example stream out the same video
with different bit rates on different channels, provided that the same
camera is connected to 2 or more video inputs on the board.
Security Dialog:
The H.264 Simple Streaming Server also support password protection of the
server to prevent unwanted users from connecting to it, and it can check the
IP address of the client. This becomes useful when you want a client to have
exclusive use of the channel (dedicated connection). It is also possible to
change both the client and the server port number used at a connection. The
following connection types are currently supported by the H.264 Simple
Streaming Server: TCP, UDP, Multicast, Dialing and Auto Detach.
Record Stream to File:
The H.264 Simple Streaming Server also allow you record the streams to
files on your local file system (or a mapped network drive).
