Method for configuration of video stream output from a digital video camera
A method for configuration of video stream output from a digital video camera. A digital video camera connected to a communication network, using a first video stream of a scene is produced; a second video stream of the scene is produced; at a client connected to the communication network, the first and second video streams are received and at least one video stream parameter of the first set of video stream parameters is caused to be adjusted such that a bit rate of the first video stream is affected; at the digital video camera, the producing of the first video stream is continuously adjusted based on the caused adjustment of the at least one video stream parameter of the first set of video stream parameters; and on a display of the client, a portion of each frame of the first video stream are continuously displayed.
1. A method for configuration of video stream output from a digital video camera arranged to produce a first and a second video stream depicting a same scene, the method comprising:
at the digital video camera, the digital video camera being connected to a communication network, producing, using a first set of video stream parameters, the first video stream of the scene;
at the digital video camera, producing, using a second set of video stream parameters, the second video stream of the scene;
at a client being connected to the communication network, receiving the first and second video streams;
at the client, causing at least one video stream parameter of the first set of video stream parameters to be adjusted such that a bit rate of the first video stream is affected and causing at least one video stream parameter of the second set of video stream parameters to be adjusted such that a bit rate of the second video stream is affected, wherein the at least one video stream parameter caused to be adjusted is a video stream parameter chosen from the group of video stream parameters consisting of: resolution of the video stream, frame rate of the video stream, contrast of the video stream, noise reduction settings for the video stream, color adjustment settings for the video stream, color space mappings of the video stream and compressing settings for the video stream;
determining the bit rate of the first video stream and determining the bit rate of the second video stream;
at the digital video camera, continuously adjusting the producing of the first video stream based on the caused adjustment of the at least one video stream parameter of the first set of video stream parameters and continuously adjusting the producing of the second video stream based on the caused adjustment of the at least one video stream parameter of the second set of video stream parameters; and
on a display of the client, continuously displaying a portion of each frame of the first video stream, a portion of each frame of the second video stream, and data pertaining to the determined bit rate of the first video stream and the second video stream, wherein the act of continuously displaying comprises continuously displaying a portion of each frame of the first video stream and a portion of each frame of the second video stream, wherein the first and second video streams are displayed on the display of the client beside each other in a split view, wherein the portion of each frame of the second video stream is complementary to the portion of each frame of the first video stream, wherein the data pertaining to the determined bit rate of the first and/or second video stream comprises the determined bit rate itself and/or a storage estimation value expressed in time units of data of the video stream that may be saved per memory unit of an image data storage used for storing the first and/or second video stream.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising storing the adjusted video stream parameter locally at the digital video camera.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the digital video camera comprises an image sensor unit and wherein the first and second video streams are captured by the image sensor unit of the digital video camera.
4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one video stream parameter of the second set of video stream parameters caused to be adjusted is a video stream parameter chosen from the group of video stream parameters consisting of: resolution of the video stream, frame rate of the video stream, contrast of the video stream, noise reduction settings for the video stream, color adjustment settings for the video stream, color space mappings of the video stream and compressing settings for the video stream.
