Set Default – Selecting this option resets all camera Frames and resolutions to the default settings.
Frame Status – Displays the layout and order of the frames being recorded. The Frame Status represents a
One Second period of time with 240 colored blocks inside. Each block represents one frame and each color
represents a camera. (See Camera Number) The layout shows the recording order for each second.
Video Format – Displays the Video Format (NTSC/PAL).
Camera Number – The cameras are given different colors to help distinguish themselves when viewing the
Frame Status. You can adjust the recorded Frames per Second by sliding the bar to the left and right.
Number of Frames – Displays the number of frames that are selected for each camera.
Frame Select – Adjusts the frames for each camera. The blue slider designates the number of frames a second
that can be captured by the selected camera, while the red slider designates how many frames can be recorded
by the designated camera.
Resolution – Displays the available Resolution options.
Quality – This setting affects the quality of the video. Increasing the quality of the camera can reduce the
amount of pixilation within the image considerably, but also increases the file size.
Sensitivity – The Sensitivity adjusts the rate at which the Keyframe refreshes. This option directly affects the
codec being used to record the video. Adjusting this setting can have drastic negative effects on the quality of
the video. It is highly recommended that this setting always be left at the default setting unless so instructed by
a system administrator.
The frame setup is limited to how many PPS can be assigned to a group of cameras. IE: A 16 channel unit that can
capture a total of 240 PPS is limited to a total of 120 PPS in the first 8 channels and 120 in the last 8 channels. Below is
a chart of the total PPS that can be captured per channel group.
