22 Configuring the Video Server AXIS 2400/2401 Admin Manual

Video Settings

Each Video icon in the graphic display represents a supported video input to the AXIS 2400/2401. A video source that is not enabled will be indicated by the Disabled icon; whereas a cross (x) visible to the left of the icon means that the input is enabled, but the associated video signal is not present on the input. Click a video icon to configure that camera/source.

Enabling and Disabling - Checking the Video enabled box enables or disables the respective video port. Disabling the source will disable the Video icon in the application page.

Pan Tilt Serial Port - From the drop-down list, choose the serial port that will control the respective video source. The devices displayed in the drop-down list correspond to the defined Purpose of the port and selected device for each port. Please see the Axis Web site at www.axis.com for a list of currently supported devices. Selecting a COM-port that has been configured for pan tilt will reveal a button that opens the dialog for making Driver Specific Settings.

Important!

The port must be defined as a Pan Tilt port before you can select it for controlling the video source.

Image Settings

Click the Image Settings button to set the image features for the video source(s).

As the AXIS 2400 supports up to four video inputs, you can choose to implement your preferred settings generically - that is, for all connected video sources, or specifically - limiting your settings to the selected video source.

From the Apply settings to drop-down list, select whether your settings are to be applied specifically or generically; that is, to Video X (1,2,3 or 4) or to All Videos.

With reference to the table below, configure the image settings to your requirements:

Header	Description
Date & time	Check to enable time display in the selected video source(s).
Text	Enable or disable the display of a text string in the selected video image. Type the text
	string that you want to display in the adjacent field.
Image
Color	Display Color or Black and White video images.
Resolution	Set the required resolution for your images.
Compression	Determines the compression factor (0-100) for the selected video source. Lower
	compression optimizes picture quality, but generates larger image file sizes, requiring
	greater network bandwidth and storage space.
Offset Adjustments
XOffset, YOffset	Enter values in these fields to change the horizontal and vertical synchronization for the
	image(s). This can be used to eliminate any black border surrounding the image.
