USING EXPERT MODE
The CARRY-CODER II has two modes of operation.
1. The NORMAL mode provides the operator with control of system functions that are needed in routine portable camera
situations. Section 3 of this manual describes these functions, including three factory preset configurations.
2. The EXPERT mode enables the operator to selectively adjust key (audio and video) compression and COFDM
transmission parameters.
The EXPERT mode should be used carefully because specific parameter settings are required to ensure proper
operation of the system. This mode should be reserved to advanced users.
operation of the system. This mode should be reserved to advanced users.
The expert mode is activated through the following menu:

The Expert Mode gives access to the expert audio-video and COFDM parameters that are described in the next sections.
Expert Video Parameters
Recommendations
The video quality mainly depends upon the allocated video bit rate and is closely linked to picture resolution and Group Of Picture
(GOP) structure.
The following table describes recommendations for realistic combinations for video encoding parameters.
Video Bit Rate
GOP structure
Video quality
Typical end-to-end Delay
2-3 Mb/s

Approximately 260 ms.
3-5 Mb/s

Maximum
Approximately 80 ms.
Other combinations can be derived by the operator using the expert video parameters that are described below:
If the video bit rate selected exceeds the current available bit rate, the CCII will automatically scaled down the bit rate.

This parameter controls digital picture resolution (pixels per line) used for MPEG-2 encoding. A high MPEG-2 encoding Bit rate
provides greater resolution for the best video quality. A low MPEG-2 encoding Bit rate provides lower resolution, reducing the
quality of the picture. Decreasing the resolution setting is useful for a low encoding Bit rate in order to reduce Pixelization when
dealing with highly detailed fast moving scenes.
