SD Video Standards
4
Picture Resolution and Frame Rate
PAL 704 x 576 25 frames per second
NTSC 640 x 480 30 frames per second
Analogue standards, not digital, but a useful shorthand.

Bitrates and Quality
5
More data means better quality:
High bitrates generally mean better quality video…
…Low bitrates mean more compression so lower quality
No exact comparison because CODEC efficiencies differ.
WMV Most commonly being used at 4 Mbps
MPEG-2 Most commonly being used at 6 Mbps

Has usually been encoded as
WMV or MPEG-2, at 4 to 6 megabits per second
With H.264, we can use 5 megabits per second
With H.264 we can use
10 megabits per second, and possibly even lower

Looking further ahead…
3D: More questions than answers?
• How many cameras?
• How are we going to watch it?
• Do we also need 2D recordings?

• Increasing use of AUVs for pipeline survey
• Increasing use of video streaming to shore
• Increasing use of video streaming on ships
All of these indicate a need for ever better video
compression.
For now we have H.264, soon we’ll have H.265,
and no doubt more to follow.

“Effective Use” requires flexibility:
What is effective for one task may not be effective
for another.
• Multiple formats (WMV, MPG-2, H.264)
• Multiple resolutions (PAL SD, HD 720, HD 1080)
• Multiple bitrates and qualities

“Flexibility” should not mean “Complexity”:
Changes and improvements should not cause
undue confusion and complexity.
• Configuration should be guided and “educated”
• If things can be automated they should be

Flexibility requires cooperation – we can’t exist in
isolation, even if sometimes we’d like to.
Application Programming Interface (API)
• Open API commands to stop or start recording
• Open API commands for file names and locations
• Open API command for still images & video clips
• Open API commands for playback control
