Table 3 Parameters changed in the JM17.0 encoder_baseline.cfg file and the reason
Parameter | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
Frames To Be Encoded | Depends on the number of frames for the sequence | For encoding the full sequence in each case |
Intra Period | 12 | This GOP format is commonly used in the literature for testing the baseline profile |
Number Reference Frames | 1 | Same reason as the IntraPeriod parameter. Besides, the main goal is real time, so we reduce the complexity to get it |
Search Mode | −1 | Full search range mode for the ME and compensated process |
Search Range | 16 | By default it is set to 32. 16 pixels are enough for transcoding the QCIF sequences. Besides, the main goal is real time, so we reduce the complexity to get it |
