  • When the main menu → [SYSTEM MODE] → [LINE&FREQ] is set to [1080-59.94P], [1080-50P], [1080-23.98PsF], [480-59.94i], or [576-50i], the streaming function is disabled and the following items are not displayed.

    • [STREAMING MODE]

    • [QoS MAX RATE]

    • [QoS MIN RATE]

    • [STREAMING LATENCY]

Checking the setting status

Push the <DISP/MODE CHK> switch on the camera towards the <CHK> side twice to check the setting values of [CODEC USAGE], [PROXY REC MODE], and [STREAMING MODE] with the mode check function.

Recording modes and recording signals (video/audio)

The following settings are available only when the main recording is set to [1080-59.94i], [1080-50i], [720-59.94P], or [720-50P] from the main menu → [SYSTEM MODE] → [LINE&FREQ]. For details, refer to “System modes and recording functions”.
