Video encoding/compression is a digital video processing technique aimed at reducing the bit rate of streamed video and bandwidth consumption. Video is compressed according to a specific software algorithm − codec.
To compress video signals from IP-devices, standard codecs such as MPEG-4 or vendor's proprietary codecs are used.
Before displaying the compressed video signal on screen, it is automatically decompressed.
If the resolution of a viewing tile is lower than that of compressed video, only part of the video stream is decoded. This reduces CPU load on C-Werk Сlients. Partial decoding does not affect bandwidth requirements. Partial decoding works with MPEG-2, MJPEG and MxPEG.
