Minimum Picture Interval section
Minimum Picture Interval (MPI) is the time interval used to define the frame rate. MPI uses the CIF, QCIF, and SQCIF formats.
Enter a value in the range 1 to 32. The default is 2.
MPI value is typically driven by your application & media needs. For example, if you have fast moving videos, you need to specify a lower MPI.
For CIF, QCIF and SQCIF, if the value is zero, the screen format is disabled otherwise the frame rate is defined by (29.97/MPI). For example: for value 1 = 30 FPS, for 2 = 15 FPS, and so on.
