Abstract
In a case where an AddVideoEncoderConfiguation command received by a communication unit 1005 includes a second identifier and a VideoEncoderConfiguration stored in a storage unit 1002 is added to a media profile stored in the storage unit 1002, an imaging apparatus removes the VideoEncoderConfiguration from the MediaProflie stored in the storage unit 1002 and reads a VideoEncoderConfiguration2 associated with the second identifier, which the command received by the communication unit 1005 includes, from the storage unit 1002, and adds the read VideoEncoderConfiguration2 to the MediaProflie stored in the storage unit 1002.
Claims9
An imaging apparatus which is capable of using H.264 and H.265 as a coding method of coding a captured image and to communicate, via a network, with a first external apparatus configured to use a first command set that supports H.264 and does not support H.265 and a second external apparatus configured to use a second command set that supports H.264 and H.265, the imaging apparatus comprising:
- a request reception unit configured to receive a request command for requesting information indicating a coding method usable by the imaging apparatus from at least one of the first and the second external apparatuses;
- a transmission unit configured to transmit a response indicating H.264 and not indicating H.265 in response to the request command, in a case where the request command received by the request reception unit is the command of the first command set;
- an information reception unit configured to receive information specifying the coding method from among options including at least H.264 to H.265 via the network;
- and
- a change unit configured to change, from H.264 to H.265, a configuration set on the imaging apparatus as a coding method usable by the imaging apparatus if information specifying H.265 as the encoding method is received by the information reception unit in a state where H.264 is set as the configuration.
An imaging method which is capable of using H.264 and H.265 as a coding method of coding a captured image and to communicate, via a network, with a first external apparatus configured to use a first command set that supports H.264 and does not support H.265 and a second external apparatus configured to use a second command set that supports H.264 and H.265, the imaging method comprising:
- receiving a request command for requesting information indicating a coding method usable by an imaging apparatus from at least one of the first and the second external apparatuses;
- transmitting a response indicating H.264 and not indicating H.265 in response to the request command, in a case where it is determined that the request command received is the command of the first command set;
- receiving information specifying the coding method from among options including at least H.264 and H.265;
- and
- changing, from H.264 to H.265, a configuration set on the imaging apparatus as a coding method usable by the imaging apparatus if information specifying H.265 as the encoding method is received when H.264 is set as the configuration.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions of a computer program for implementing an imaging method which is capable of using H.264 and H.265 as a coding method of coding a captured image and to communicate, via a network, with a first external apparatus configured to use a first command set that supports H.264 and does not support H.265 and a second external apparatus configured to use a second command set that supports H.264 and H.265, the imaging method comprising:
- receiving a request command for requesting information indicating a coding method usable by an imaging apparatus from at least one of the first and the second external apparatuses;
- transmitting a response indicating H.264 and not indicating H.265 in response to the request command, in a case where the request command received is the command of the first command set;
- receiving information specifying the coding method from among options including at least H.264 and H.265 via the network;
- and
- changing, from H.264 to H.265, a configuration set on the imaging apparatus as a coding method usable by the imaging apparatus if information specifying H.265 as the encoding method is received when H.264 is set as the configuration.
