To attach the lens, proceed as follows:
Remove the rear lens cap and the camera body cap.
Carefully screw the lens into the CS lens mount (
If using a DC auto iris lens, connect the lens cable to the DC auto iris interface ( Fig. 5-2
).
By default, the camera is configured for the use with DC auto iris lenses.
If using a lens with manual iris control, you have to reconfigure the camera accordingly
(see section “ Sensor ” on page 56).
Video signal-controlled lenses are not supported.
Installation and Commissioning
The camera has a ¼" tripod socket located on the top and bottom side.
Notice
Damage to the device due to inappropriate mounting equipment
Use the correct type of mounting equipment:
• ¼" tripod screw (max. length 7 mm) for ceiling/wall bracket
• Weather-proof housing for outdoor installations
Mount the camera to the ceiling/wall bracket using a suitable tripod screw.
Connect the required cables to the connectors on the back side of the camera (see
chapter “ Pin Assignment ” on page 96).
If necessary, connect a CVBS monitor to the video preview output.
If PoE (Power over Ethernet) is not available, first connect the camera to a suitable power supply unit and then connect the power supply unit to the mains socket.

6.1.3
DF4510HD | DF4910HD | DDF4510HDV-IM/-SM | DDF4910HDV-IM/-SM
Back Focus
The back focus (focal flange length) is the distance between the rear lens element and the image sensor. Optimum focus is only possible if the correct distance is set.
Generally, the back focus is optimized ex factory for all CS mount lenses offered by
Dallmeier.
However, due to production tolerances of lenses it may be necessary to adjust the back focus in individual cases.
If the optimum focus cannot be set exactly for lenses with a fixed focal length or if the focus changes as the focal distance of zoom lenses (not varifocal lenses) changes, pro ceed as follows:
First, ensure a clean and nearly dust-free environment.
Hold the camera with the image sensor area facing downward so that no dust will get into the camera or onto the image sensor.
During the following steps, always beware not to touch the sensor or sensor glass, the rear lens element or other glass elements inside of the camera in order to avoid damages due to scratching or loss of image quality due to fingerprints.
Carefully unscrew the used lens from the camera in a counter-clockwise direction (first unplug the DC auto iris 4-pin connector if necessary).
Loosen the locking screw of the back focus adjustment ring.
Unscrew the back focus adjustment ring.
Remove the attached spacer ring from the back focus adjustment ring.
Screw the back focus adjustment ring back onto the camera.
Tighten the locking screw of the back focus adjustment ring.
If necessary, remove dust from the sensor glass, the rear lens element or other glass elements in the camera using a suitable bulb blower.
However, beware not to disperse dust particles inside the camera.
Do not use canned air.
Do not use organic solvents (alcohol, benzine) or cotton buds for cleaning.
Finally, screw the lens carefully back onto the camera in a clockwise direction and tighten it without using excessive force.
Ensure that the lens thread does not get stuck and the lens is not tightened too firmly to avoid damages to the thread.
If necessary, adjust the back focus using the back focus adjustment ring (see below).
To adjust the back focus, the iris of the lens must be open as wide as possible (smallest iris value). For lenses with automatic iris control, you will require a ND filter (grey filter) to prevent the iris from closing in bright light.

6.1.3.1 Adjustment for Lenses with a Fixed Focal Length
If the optimum focus cannot be set exactly with the focus ring of the lens, proceed as follows:
Point the camera at an object with sufficient contrast (e.g. Siemens star).
The distance to the object should be more than 2000-times the focal length.
Open the iris of the lens.
Set the distance on the lens to infinity (∞).
Loosen the locking screw of the back focus adjustment ring.
Set the optimum focus with the back focus adjustment ring.
Tighten the locking screw of the back focus adjustment ring.
6.1.3.2
Adjustment for Lenses with a Variable Focal Length (Zoom Lenses)
If the focus changes as the focal distance changes, proceed as follows:
Note that due to the design of varifocal lenses a refocusing is usually necessary when changing the focal length.
The following description, therefore, only applies to zoom lenses.
Point the camera at an object with sufficient contrast (e.g. Siemens star) at a distance of approx. 2 – 3 m.
Open the iris of the lens.
Set the maximum focal length (tele end) on the lens.
Set the optimum focus with the focus ring of the lens.
Set the minimum (shortest) focal length (wide end) on the lens.
Loosen the locking screw of the back focus adjustment ring.
Set the optimum focus with the back focus adjustment ring.
Slightly tighten the locking screw of the back focus adjustment ring.
Beware not to change the position of the back focus adjustment ring.
Set the maximum focal length (tele end) on the lens again and check whether the im age is in focus.
If necessary, readjust the focus with the focus ring of the lens (not with the back focus adjustment ring).
Set the minimum (shortest) focal length (wide end) on the lens again and check whether the image is in focus.
You may need to repeat the last 6 steps several times to obtain the best results.
If the image remains in focus throughout the entire zoom range, finally tighten the back focus adjustment ring.

Change the connection method ( D ) if required.
Adjust the live video resolution ( E ) if required.
Enable the live audio output ( F ) if required.
The video resolution setting mentioned above only affects the live video display in the web browser and is not related to the encoder settings.
Live audio is only available for logged in users or user groups. Furthermore, audio encod-
ing has to be enabled (see section “ Audio In ” on page 67).
Connection Method
If the network connection to the device is established via a router/gateway with NAT (Network Address Translation) function, the live video may not be shown in the web browser.
In this case, two solutions are available:
The router/gateway has to be configured for a correct address translation of data packets sent by the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
UDP is by default used by the streaming function of the device.
An easier solution is to select tcP from the drop-down list connection method .
In this case, the device switches the protocol of the streaming function to the
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
To receive the data packets, the port 30000 for the DaVid Protocol
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) must be open.
Note that during the data transmission via TCP
• normally no packet loss (lack of images) occurs.
• short-term peaks in network traffic may occur.
• low delays may occur.
The “Connection method” described above does not affect the streaming function (see
section “ Streaming ” on page 50).

8.4.1.3 LDAP Login
This setting allows for the centralized user management with LDAP (Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol) using an Active Directory (AD) service (such as
Microsoft Windows Server or Linux server with Samba).
The individual user rights/permissions are granted by three different group policies defined on the LDAP client (this device).
Notice
In the LDAP login mode, a login as a local user group or a local user is no longer possible.
The following LDAP settings should only be performed by an administrator with advanced skills in LDAP technology.
In order to be able to set the respective group policies/rights on the LDAP client (this device), each LDAP user intended to obtain access to the device must first be assigned to a specific LDAP group on the LDAP server. Then, the defined LDAP group (user-grouprelation) can be read out by the LDAP client (this device).
A valid LDAP group name for each directory entry on the LDAP server must be structured as follows:
[Group prefix][Group suffix]
The group prefix is a user-definable expression (for example, myhostname ), however, it is required.
This allows administrators to assign different user groups and, thus, variable user rights to multiple simultaneously installed LDAP clients of the same system design (e.g. Dallmeier cameras described here).
The available group suffixes are fixed expressions:
Group 1 (Administrator): _G4
Group 2 (User): _G2
Group 3 (Guest): _G1 www.dallmeier.com
42
DF4510HD | DF4910HD | DDF4510HDV-IM/-SM | DDF4910HDV-IM/-SM
On the LDAP server, the LDAP group names with the group prefix myhostname would in this case be as follows:
Group 1 (Administrator): myhostname_G4
Group 2 (User):
Group 3 (Guest): myhostname_G2 myhostname_G1
However, it is absolutely necessary to also enter the used group prefix on the LDAP client
(this device). For further information regarding this requirement, see below.
Note that for the following settings at least one LDAP user must be a member of group 1
(administrator).
After the LDAP settings have been made on the LDAP server, the LDAP client (this device) must be configured accordingly.
In this respect, note the following steps and descriptions:
Ensure that the Login mode is set to LDAP login .
Select the LDAP options tab.
Fig. 8-10
For the correct access to the directory entries on the LDAP server, the following information must be entered:
LDAP server:
LDAP host:
Name or IP address of the LDAP server to which the connection is to be established
Example: ldap://servername
ldap://192.168.57.3
Group prefix of LDAP group name
Example: myhostname
LDAP base: Base DN (Distinguished Name, search base on the LDAP server);
Object location in the LDAP directory hierarchy
Example: ou=department,dc=example,dc=com
LDAP filter: Default entry: (sAMAccountName=%UNam%)

www.dallmeier.com
43
DF4510HD | DF4910HD | DDF4510HDV-IM/-SM | DDF4910HDV-IM/-SM
Before saving the settings, the entries have to be verified.
The validation is performed by querying the LDAP directory for an existing authorized
LDAP user with administration rights (member of group 1).
The settings on the LDAP client can only be saved if the query has been successful (returns an internal result).
Click test .

DF4510HD | DF4910HD | DDF4510HDV-IM/-SM | DDF4910HDV-IM/-SM
Note the explanations below.
Connection Type
This setting defines the transfer rate and the duplex mode.
The “Connection type > automatic” (Autonegotiation) is sufficient for most applications.
Bandwidth Limit
Limiting the bandwidth (maximum allowed peak bit rate) can be useful to prevent video artifacts or frame drops due to packet loss with low bandwidth connections.
Domain Name System (DNS)
Since IP addresses are rather difficult to remember, you can also refer to devices by their host names which allows you to locate the devices or hosts more easily on the LAN (Local Area Network).
The mapping of host names to their corresponding IP addresses is handled by the socalled Domain Name Service (DNS server required). In addition, IP address mapping can also be stored directly in the hosts file on your local computer.
The Host name (or more appropriately the short host name) specifies the name of the machine itself (e.g. myhostname ).
The Domain name is usually the network domain within your LAN associated with your company and department (e.g. example.com
or intranet.example.com
).
Host names are resolved by special DNS servers (known as “name servers”).
Resolving host names into IP addresses requires the assignment of a primary name server ( DNS server 1 , e.g. ns1.example.com
) and, for reasons of reliability and avail ability, a secondary name server ( DNS server 2 , e.g. ns2.example.com
).
For example, to refer to the device by its long host name or fully qualified domain name
(FQDN), you can simply use myhostname.example.com
. Depending on the DNS server or hosts file settings, you can also refer to the device by simply using its short host name ( myhostname ).
Search domains (max. 5 allowed, separated by spaces) are useful if a defined alarm host or UTC time server is not located in your specified domain name.

DHCP
To have a DHCP server assign the network settings automatically, proceed as follows:
Ensure that an active DHCP server is available in your local area network (LAN).
Activate the Get iP settings from DHcP checkbox.
If required, configure the available DNS settings (as described above).
To send the Host name to the DHCP server, deactivate the
Get host name from DHcP checkbox and enter a specific host name.
Deactivate the Allow IP-Finder network configuration checkbox if not required.
Finally, confirm with oK .
The connection to the device is terminated and the new network settings are assigned by the DHCP server (pay attention to the lease duration).
The newly assigned network settings can be determined by the MAC address of the device using the IP-Finder or on the DHCP server.
The IP-Finder must be executed in the same LAN in which the device is located.

9.2.1.1 Transfer Protocol and Format
The transfer protocol defines the communication rules for the data exchange via the network.
The (static) video server exclusively transports the IP packets via uDP (User Datagram
Protocol)
Note that
• UDP allows for a smooth and fast data transmission with relatively low delays.
• packet losses (lack of images) may occur during the transmission.

DF4510HD | DF4910HD | DDF4510HDV-IM/-SM | DDF4910HDV-IM/-SM
The transfer format defines the RTP payload to be transported.
RTP/H264
The video data is packetized by the Real-Time Transport Protocol ( RTP ) for a H.264
Video Elementary Stream.
Audio data is not transferred.
The data must be encoded to H.264 format.
The packaging is based on the following standards:
RFC3550 - RTP: A Transport Protocol for Real-Time Applications
RFC3551 - RTP Profile for Audio and Video Conferences with Minimal Control
RFC3984 - RTP Payload Format for H.264 Video
RTP/MJPEG
The video data is packetized by the Real-Time Transport Protocol ( RTP ) for a MJPEG
Video Stream.
Audio data is not transferred.
The data must be encoded in MJPEG format.
The packaging is based on the following standards:
RFC3550 - RTP: A Transport Protocol for Real-Time Applications
RFC3551 - RTP Profile for Audio and Video Conferences with Minimal Control
RFC2435 - RTP Payload Format for JPEG-compressed Video
9.2.1.2 Transfer Method
The transfer method defines the distribution of the data throughout the network.
Multicast
The data packets are provided with the specified IP multicast address and port number and transferred to a group of receivers (clients) via a point-to-multipoint connection.
The packets have to be transferred only once; the distribution is done by especially configured routers (capable of IP multicasting).
A receiver will only receive data packets if it has (already) joined the IP multicast group and if the appropriate application service is available at the specified port number.
IP multicast uses the address range between 224.0.0.0
and 239.255.255.255
(Class D).
Note that certain IP multicast address ranges are reserved for special purposes.
For intranet applications, the use of addresses ranging from 239.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 is recommended.
unicast
The data packets are provided with the specified destination IP address and port number and transferred to exactly one receiver (client) in the network via a point-to-point connec tion.
The receiver will only receive the data packets if the appropriate application service is available at the specified port number.

9.2.1.3 TTL
The TTL value (Time To Live) defines the lifetime of an IP packet.
Each router an IP packet passes through reduces the time-to-live value by one (1). As soon as the value has reached zero (0), the IP packet is discarded.
While preventing IP packets from endlessly circulating in the network due to routing errors, this method stops IP packets from breaking through the limits of the LAN and being sent to the WAN (TTL = 1).
Depending on the requirements, a TTL value ranging from 1 – 255 can be entered. When entering 0 (zero), the default values are used (TTL = 1 for multicast, TTL = 64 for unicast).
9.2.1.4 RTCP
The Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) is an extension to the Real-time Trans port Protocol (RTP) and is used for i.a. the transmission of periodic status information such as timestamps of the transmitted video streams.
9.2.2 Dynamic Servers
A dynamic server is created whenever a UDP or TCP data transmission is actively requested, for example, via the ActiveX-based Dallmeier control, the DaVid Protocol, the
Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) or via PView 7.
The Dynamic servers tab provides information on the currently created dynamic servers.
Fig. 9-3
The removal of dynamically generated servers is useful whenever servers, which are no longer used and have not been automatically quit by a request, are to be deleted manually.

Audio Client
The Audio client tab allows for the configuration of the processing of audio data being sent to the device by external applications via UDP (User Datagram Protocol), or rather the activation of the output of the received audio signal via the installed analogue Audio
OUT interface.
Fig. 9-4
Note the following requirements for the output of audio data via the analogue Audio OUT interface:
• The audio format of the audio source and the audio format defined in the audio client of the camera (drop-down list Mode ) must be compatible.
• The defined destination port in the audio source and the port registered in the audio cli ent of the camera (input field Port (1024 … 65535) ) must be identical.
• With unicast, the audio source must transmit to the IP address of the camera and the IP address of the audio source ( Source iP address ) must be registered in the audio client of the camera.
• With multicast, the IP multicast address used by the audio source must be identical with the Multicast iP address registered in the audio client of the camera.
For descriptions about the different transfer methods unicast and multicast, see section
“ Transfer Method ” on page 51.
If UDP is used to transmit the audio data, the settings in the audio client of the camera must be configured manually.
If the DaVid Protocol is used to control the audio output, the necessary information is sent to the camera’s audio client automatically.
Note that the settings in the Audio client tab are disabled if the audio output is controlled via the DaVid Protocol (e.g. via PView 7).
In order to control the audio output via PView 7, right-click into the PView 7 split of the displayed camera and select the required audio format and audio bit rate via “Recorder” >
“Transmit Audio”.
PView 7 will then transmit incoming audio data (e.g. via the microphone input of the PC) to the audio client in the camera using the DaVid Protocol.
The camera decodes the incoming audio data and outputs the generated analogue audio signals via the analogue Audio OUT interface of the camera (e.g. via a connected speaker).

RTSP
The Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is used to control the continuous transmission of multimedia content via IP based networks (media streams).
Thereby, RTSP uses a direct (bidirectional) communication with the RTSP streaming server of the camera; on the one hand in order to determine the applicable transmission protocol for the RTP data transfer (UDP or TCP), on the other hand to transmit control ac tions of IP based RTSP-capable applications (players) such as the starting and stopping of video transmission.
The encoding, packet assembly and transport of the data streams from server to client is thereby carried out directly (unidirectionally) via the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP).
Usually, the RTP transmissions of the streaming content are realised via UDP (User
Datagram Protocol), whereas the RTSP transmissions are realised via a TCP connection
(TCP = Transmission Control Protocol).
The following points need to be considered with RTP transmission via UDP:
• UDP is a so-called “unreliable” and connectionless protocol.
No connection is established to the receiver/client prior to the data transmission.
The receiver/client does not send a confirmation of the receipt of the data.
During the transmission via UDP packet losses (e.g. lack of individual images) can oc cur.
Lost packets will not be sent again.
• Usually, UDP packets that come from outside (internet) into the local area network are blocked by internet routers/firewalls in general.
• UDP allows for smooth and fast data transmission with relatively low delays, i.e. without a time offset of the IP packets (jitter).
• Each RTSP/RTP transmission via UDP requires three ports to be open: a static port for the RTSP control commands (standard port number 554) and two dynamic ports for the
RTP data stream.
The following points need to be considered for RTP/RTSP transmissions via TCP:
• TCP is a so-called “reliable” and connection-oriented protocol.
A connection to the receiver/client is established prior to the data transmission.
The receiver/client sends a confirmation of the receipt of each IP packet.
During the data transmission via TCP there are usually no packet losses (unless in the case of a buffer overload in the camera due to permanent network overload). However, the transmission may be slower than with UDP.
• Usually, only the RTSP port at the internet router/firewall needs to be open in order to allow for data transmissions of RTP/RTSP/TCP packets from the internet to the local area network.
• With RTSP the transmission of RTP streams can be embedded in the existing RTSP/
TCP connection; a separate UDP transmission or an additional port for the RTP data stream is not necessary.

The RtSP tab is used to configure the RTSP server in the camera.
Fig. 9-5
The standard port number for RTSP is 554.
In the RtSP server port input field the port number can be changed as needed.
In order to generally prevent access to the RTSP server in the camera, which means not to allow any RTSP transmission, the relevant checkbox can be deactivated.
RTP over RTSP buffer
Note that the following paragraph only applies to RTP via RTSP/TCP.
If the network is busy or if a switch within the network, respectively the receiver/client, no longer accepts additional data, the camera can no longer send further image data. The result is a so-called data backlog in the camera.
In order to prevent a loss of images, the yet-unsent image data can – at least for a short time – be saved in an internal RTSP buffer (default capacity 1024 kBytes).
Only in case of a buffer overload are all saved images lost.
Permanent network overload results in a delay in displaying the images at the client. The delay is proportional to the set size of the buffer (amount of images saved).
A large RTSP buffer is only recommended in case of short-term network overloads.
In case of a permanent network overload a smaller buffer as well as lower bit rates are recommended for the individual encoder settings.

To reproduce accurate colours, regardless of the prevailing light sources and colour temperatures (measured in Kelvin), a correct white balance is required.
For this purpose, the camera provides two white balance modes:
• Auto
ATW (Auto Tracking White Balance)
This white balance setting automatically determines and permanently readjusts the white balance value output using colour information from the entire scene in order to continually compensate for colour temperature changes in varying light conditions.
For best results, at least one white object (as reference white) should be within the scene that is to be captured.
The use of ATW is especially recommended for scenes with permanently varying lighting situations/colour temperatures, such as indoor scenes with artificial light sources and incident daylight.
• one Push
AWB (Automatic White Balance)
The “One Push” white balance value is a fixed measured value which is only readjusted at user request ( Apply button), assuming that a white or neutral grey object (as refer ence value), in correct lighting conditions, is located in more than a half of the entire image.
color
• Automatic
This setting provides the automatic switching between colour and black-and-white mode as lighting conditions change.
The switching depends on the ambient light level, i.e. at low light levels the camera automatically switches to black-and-white mode and removes the colour burst.
Without colour information, or rather in black-and-white mode, the image quality in low light conditions will be much clearer (e.g. less colour noise).
Depending on the ambient light (when a certain brightness level has been reached again), the camera automatically switches back to colour mode.
• on
The video is always displayed in colour, even at low light levels.
• off
The video is always displayed in black-and-white.
Slow Shutter Limit
For a proper exposure, the camera automatically determines the best combination of shutter speed, aperture and signal gain.
The slow shutter limit thereby defines the maximum allowable automatic exposure time
(electronic shutter speed).
As soon as the set shutter limit has been reached, the automatic exposure (AE) is exclu sively controlled by the automatic iris (aperture) control and/or the automatic gain control
(AGC).
Noise filter
This setting can improve the image quality by reducing noise in signal processing.
In scenes with lots of complex objects, enabling this function, however, may lead to a loss of detail in the image.
The noise filter described here can be enabled at all resolutions.

• S pot Light (spot metering)
The exposure metering is only carried out for the image section as defined by the user.
That area is then optimally exposed. However, the other image areas can be heavily overexposed or underexposed.
This setting is recommended for scenes with extreme variations in brightness when a specific image section is to be exposed absolutely correctly.
In order to define an area for spot metering, proceed as follows:
Select Spot Light from the drop-down list exposure Mode .
Click and hold the left mouse button and draw a rectangle (red) over the relevant im age area you want to define for spot metering.
Release the mouse button.
Another click within the image removes the defined metering area.
Once the area defined for spot metering meets your requirements, click oK .
Privacy Zones
This function allows you to hide (mask) up to 4 user-definable areas in the camera to ensure privacy protection and compliance with laws and regulations that prohibit certain locations from being monitored and/or recorded. The defined Privacy Zones are then directly blackened in the camera.
Note that the combined area of all active Privacy Zones can maximally amount to up to
10% of the entire image.

Click and hold the left mouse button and draw a rectangle (going from upper left to lower right) over the relevant image area you would like to hide (mask) in the camera.
The selected image area is indicated in red.
If the selected image area does not meet your requirements, use the mouse and click on an unmasked area.
The red masking is then removed and a new image area can be selected.
If the selected image area meets your requirements, activate the defined zone by se lecting the appropriate checkbox.
Click oK to apply the settings.
If you want to define another image area as a Privacy Zone, select the appropriate radio button and proceed as described above.
However, if the combined area of all already activated zones amounts to more than
10% of the entire image, you cannot mask any more zones.
In that case, reduce the size of the already defined zones and save the settings again by clicking oK . Then, define the new zone.
Finally, click oK in order to save all settings.
You should always activate and save each defined zone first (“OK”) before defining an other zone.
In order to display masked image areas again, deactivate the appropriate checkbox and click “OK”. The defined image area remains saved in the camera as long as you do not click into an unmasked image area within the corresponding zone. Thus, you can always activate or deactivate the masking for an already defined image area.

3D noise filter (spatial + temporal)
This function can improve the image quality by noise reduction and therefore enhance the compression performance.
Note that this function is not effective with resolutions higher than 720p.
• Compares pixels both within and between frames
• Very effective noise suppression
• May cause high CPU load and therefore may slow down the encoding speed and lead to a loss of frames
• May blur moving objects
• May cause a loss of detail
Frames/Second
The frame rate (value in fps) defines the number of consecutive frames produced per second.
The higher the frame rate, the smoother the video playback.
However, a higher frame rate also requires a higher bandwidth usage (transmission capacity) and more hard disk storage space for the recording of video material.
25 (“PAL countries”) or 30 fps (“NTSC countries”) meet the requirements for real-time ap plications.
Bitrate
The bit rate refers to the number of bits per second used to encode the video.
The more bits are used to represent the video data per second, the higher the quality is.
However, a higher bit rate also requires a higher bandwidth usage (transmission capacity) and more hard disk storage space for the recording of video material.
Low bit rate High image compression
Small data volume
Poor image quality
Low bandwidth and hard disk space usage
High bit rate Low image compression
Large data volume
High image quality
High bandwidth and hard disk space usage
Usually, most requirements in surveillance applications are met with a bit rate between 4 and 6 Mbps.
www.dallmeier.com
64
DF4510HD | DF4910HD | DDF4510HDV-IM/-SM | DDF4910HDV-IM/-SM
Bitrate mode
The bit rate mode allows you to configure a constant (CBR) or a variable bit rate (VBR) for the video encoding.
The VBR correlates with the changes in the image dynamically.
In scenes with many changes in the image the bit rate is temporarily increased.
The admissible deviations from the defined bit rate are indicated in percentages.
The higher the percentage value, the higher the maximum admissible peak rate and the longer the regulation time to return to the nominal bit rate.
Example:
In case of a defined (nominal) bit rate of 4 Mbps and a bit rate mode of “variable 100 %” the peak rate may temporarily increase to up to 8 Mbps.
Variable bit rates allow for a higher image quality while simultaneously enabling a better use of both available hard disk storage space and transmission capacities.
A constant bit rate on the other hand allows for a more precise calculation of required storage capacity.
GoP-size
The H.264 coding is carried out by dividing the video stream into so-called GOPs (Group of Pictures) of a defined length (defined GOP-size).
A GOP sequence always starts with an Intra-Frame (I-Frame), which contains all image data and serves as a reference for the subsequent images within a GOP.
The I-Frame is compressed with a low compression rate, similar to the JPEG compression method.
Depending on the defined GOP-size, an I-Frame is followed by one or more Predicted
Frames (P-Frames), which only contain the motion predictions and difference information about the preceding images (I-Frame or P-Frames) (Long-term prediction).
The compression rate with P-Frames is much higher than with I-Frames since changes in relation to reference images need to be coded as motion vectors only. The required bit rate thus decreases so that, with a given total encoding bit rate, more bits are available for the I-Frame. This means that the quality of the I-Frame can be increased, for example, the detail resolution in case of a larger GOP-size.
However, if there are scenes with many motion changes, a high number of P-Frames can have a negative effect on the image quality, because the motion predictions become increasingly inaccurate.
Additionally, a larger GOP-size always leads to an increase in delays regarding processing or accessing a stream.
The GOP sequence ends before the next I-Frame.
At a later stage, the visible single frames are generated at the decoder, using the individual GOPs.
The GOP-size 1 (I-Frames only) indicates a low compression factor and should only be used with specific applications, because the bandwidth requirements increase signifi cantly.
Generally, a GOP-size of between 6 and 15 will provide a good image quality with sufficient compression.
If large GOP-sizes are defined, reverse playback can result in frame drops with some decoders.

13 Digital Image Shift
DF4510HD | DF4910HD | DDF4510HDV-IM/-SM | DDF4910HDV-IM/-SM
The “Digital Image Shift” function allows for a subsequent fine alignment of the selected image section.
Depending on the set resolution, a certain area of the sensor is in each case used to capture the image, yet never the entire sensor area.
By using Digital Image Shift, the used sensor area can be digitally shifted and thus the monitored image section can be fine-tuned.
That function is particularly useful if, once the camera has been installed, it turns out that the selected image section does not exactly meet your requirements.
Click Digital image Shift ...
in the configuration menu.
FIg. 13-1
In the example above, the defined image section does not exactly meet the requirements following the installation of the camera.
The garage (on the left of the image) is only half captured by the image capturing sensor.
However, using the arrow buttons the image section can be easily shifted via the web browser afterwards.
Left-click on an arrow button in order to shift the image section accordingly.
Left-click and hold an arrow button longer in order to shift the image section faster.

14.5.2.2
Configuration Transfer to Several Devices
As a precondition all relevant devices must be located in the same LAN (with suitable cabling and a separate IP address for each device). In addition, the access rights to all devices must be identical (same user name and password).
Before the configuration file can be transferred, it must be saved as described above.
However, the configuration of the Network settings must not be included in the configu ration file. If these settings were included, the same IP address would be transferred to all devices. Since, however, every IP address in a LAN must be unique, this would cause massive problems in the network.
Notice
Ensure that the configuration of the Network settings is not transferred to several devices.
To be able to send the configuration file to several devices, a connection to one of the
devices must be established first (see section “ Connection ” on page 33).
Open the Configuration file management dialogue via
Service > Configuration file > Upload ...

15 Image Transmission
15.1
15.2
The device can be configured as an active network element for the continuous transmis -
sion (streaming) of the produced video data (see section “ Video Server ” on page 50).
In addition, the device, as a passive network element, can be triggered for transmission of video data via various transport and data protocols by external devices and applications.
Web Browser
Current video data can be requested as a single image (JPEG) by any web browser.
Transmission protocol HTTP
Transport protocol TCP
Port 80
Note that
• the used encoder must be configured for MJPeG encoding.
• the used encoder must be enabled.
• the JPeG live access right/permission must be enabled.
Use the following URL request for the various encoders:
Encoder 1 http://IP address of the device/live/image0.jpg
Encoder 2 http://IP address of the device/live/image1.jpg
The displayed image can be refreshed at any time. The URL request can be integrated in an HTML (JavaScript) page that refreshes the image automatically.
RTSP Application
The live video can be actively requested and controlled (start and stop) by external RTSP
capable applications. For more information, refer to section “ RTSP ” on page 54.
Communication protocol RTSP
Transmission protocol RTP
Transport protocol UDP/TCP
Port 554
Note that
• the used encoder must be enabled.
• the RTSP server in the camera must be enabled.
• the RtSP live access right/permission must be enabled.
www.dallmeier.com
93
DF4510HD | DF4910HD | DDF4510HDV-IM/-SM | DDF4910HDV-IM/-SM
Use the following URL request for the various encoders:
Encoder 1 rtsp://IP address of the device/encoder1
Encoder 2 rtsp://IP address of the device/encoder2
Encoder 3 rtsp://IP address of the device/encoder3
Encoder 1, 2 and 3 can be requested by three applications simultaneously. This allows you to realize a “Tri-Streaming” functionality (three streams with different quality).
The required bandwidth proportionally increases to the number of applications requesting for the data of an encoder. In this case, a multicast configuration should be preferred, because it only requires bandwidth for one stream.
