11. The DVMS 400 uses Wavelet video compression to reduce the size of recorded video files This advanced method of compression was chosen because it maintains a high image quality level while achieving very high compression ratios Wavelet compression also eliminates the block artifacts seen in Discrete Cosine Transform DCT compression schemes such as JPEG and MPEG compression At very high compression ratios images compressed with Wavelet compression become softer with less detail saturation and contrast rather than an image with obvious digital artifacts Another advantage of wavelet compression is that it permits a simple motion detection algorithm to be used which makes it ideal for CCTV applications To specify how much compression is being used by your system you can change the Compression settings in the Setup program See Time Lapse Recording page 42 Event Recording General Setup page 44 and Pre Event Recording page 53 Audio Compression CD quality stereo sound uses an audio sampling rate of 44100 samples per second This requires a data transfer rate of 172 kB s For time lapse audio recording the DVMS 400 uses True Speech compression a speech compression mode that uses only 1 04 kB s The audio data can be played back in sync with the video image data If you do not need sound recorded with your video you may choose not to record from the audio input 99 1843 0400 5830065NC Gyyr DVMS 400 User s Guide 100
