Q24M Camera Manual: MOBOTIX Glossary
Latency
Interval between capturing the image of a camera and displaying the same image on a
monitor (also called “scene-to-screen time”).
Layout
Describes, how
»Video Sources
are displayed by MxControlCenter. When displaying the
images from network cameras, the layout determines the positions and resolutions of the
images displayed on the monitor. In addition to the actual video images, you can also incor-
porate graphic elements such as the location of the cameras, etc. (see
»Background Layout
,
»Grid Layout
,
»Auto Grid
).
LED
Abbreviation of
Light Emitting Diode
. An electronic semiconductor component, built in to
MOBOTIX cameras and add-on modules, which emits light when current flows through the
component in the correct direction.
Linux
Free and open source operating system based on the work of Linus Torvalds. Serves as the
operating system for all MOBOTIX cameras.
Logical Network
A system of computers and networked devices that appear as a single network to the user
(even if it runs on more than one
»Physical Network
).
Megapixel
One million pixels. Larger formats of images can be displayed as a multiple of this, for example,
3megapixels is equal to 3million pixels.
MonoDome
Dome camera with one lens, such as the MOBOTIX D24M.
Motion Detection
See .
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG)
Video compression method where each individual image is compressed separately as a
»JPEG
image. Unlike
»MPEG
, the quality of M-JPEG recordings is not dependent on move-
ment within the image.
MPEG
Abbreviation of
Motion Pictures Expert Group
. Standard for compressing and saving image
and video data, resulting in quality loss. Originally created for playing entertainment content
on PCs, MPEG concentrates on displaying still image material and compromises the quality
of moving image material in order to increase the transmission speed.
MPEG-4 Part 10
A standard for video compression (same as
»H.264
).
