- 1. Smartvue H.264 Standard Video Compression Technical Brief H.264 Video Compression and Smartvue S8 All Smartvue S8 cameras offer the next-generation standard of video compres- sion technology called H.264 which is an open standard based on the MPEG standrard which has a long history of successful multimedia standards. H.264 provides vast quality and compression improvements over previous genera- tions of network cameras which use the most common video compression algorithms such as MPEG2, MPEG4, and MJPEG. The H.264 standard was created for network delivery of video, to provide qual- ity video at bit rates that are substantially lower (e.g., half or less) than what previous standards would need (e.g., relative to MPEG-2, H.263, or MPEG-4 Part 2). The standard was also created for supporting multiple distribution techniques (e.g., for both low and high bit rates, and low and high resolution video) and to work well on a very wide variety of networks and systems (e.g., for broadcast, DVD storage, RTP/IP packet networks, and ITU-T multimedia telephony systems). The H.264 video compression technologies inside Smartvue cameras contain a number of new features that allow it to compress video much more effectively than older standards and to provide more flexibility for application to a wide variety of network environments. Video Storage per Minute Quality, Efficiency, Scalability MJPEG H.264 video compression offers the very best in video quality while at the same time more efficiently using storage and network bandwidth. Smartvue H.264 video compression which uses 5 times less storage than MJPEG and almost half of MPEG4. In addition, H.264 also enables scalability from the very smallest video to very very higest definition MPEG4 Open Standard H.264 H.264 video compression is an open standard which enables videos to be played across many different platforms that support this standard. In addition, it offers cost effectivenesss and continued innovation as the standards improve (for example the jump from MPEG4 to H.264). The main benefit of an open standard like H.264 is that hundreds of companies and many standards groups are support it which insures its continued viability in the industry.
