Motion Estimation
Fully Exhaustive motion estimation is used. It takes a macro block of
16 pixels x 16 pixels and then performs an exhaustive search without
subsampling.
Variable Video Bit-rate
The MPEG-2 compression algorithm uses adaptive field/frame coding,
forward and backward predictive processing with motion estimation and
compensation to reduce the bit-rate to the range shown in Table 1.3.
Table 1.3: Video Bit-rate Range 12
Video Encoding Mode
4:2:0 4:2:2 13
1.5 Mbit/s - 15 Mbit/s 1.5 Mbit/s - 50 Mbit/s
NOTE…
Minimum bit-rate is 0.25 Mbit/s when software option M2/ESO2/PU is purchased.
Coding Resolutions
To provide optimum picture quality over the full range of supported
bit-rates, the encoded picture resolution is controlled automatically
according to the video bit-rate. Alternatively, the user can override this
and select manual control, if desired. Coding resolutions are shown in
Table 1.4.
11 Noise reduction is only available when software option M2/ESO2/NR is purchased.
12 The video bit-rate depends on the Multiplexer bit-rate which is set.
13 4:2:2 is only available when software option M2/ESO2/422 is purchased.
