CONFIGURING THE FRAME RATE

The DX8000 can record at frame rates up to 480 images per second (ips) by National Television System Committee (NTSC) standards and 400 ips by Phase Alternating Line (PAL) standards.

This total frame rate capacity is distributed among eight or sixteen cameras, depending on the configuration of your unit. Resolution and frame rate values can be assigned evenly among all cameras or can be configured independently for individual cameras. Frame rate values can also be customized according to recording mode type (normal, alarm, or motion).

Two setup modes are provided to allow Power Users and Administrators to configure recording frame rates on the DX8000. All cameras are optimized to provide 30 ips frame rates at 320 x 240 resolution for NTSC (352 x 288 resolution for PAL). Basic mode allows changes to be made in the frame rates available to each camera, while resolution values must remain constant. Advanced mode allows users to change both frame rate and resolution settings.

This section describes how to configure the frame rate and includes the following topics:
