Video capture cards may be configured, so as to give to one or more cameras additional ADC resources, and thus to increase the frame rate of video signals from these cameras. At the same time the frame rate of video signals from other cameras is decreased.

INTELLECT™ Axxon PSIM™ software and video capture cards sharing allows reallocating video capture card resources to the cameras:

...

To prevent allocation of ADC resources, the Camera objects are to be disabled in INTELLECT™Axxon PSIM™, assigned to the disabled video channels.

To disable the Camera objects in INTELLECT™ Axxon PSIM™ system, do the following:

...

1. Configure the video surveillance monitor (see Configuring video display on Video Surveillance Monitor section);
2. Enable the debug mode in Intellect™ Axxon PSIM™ software using the tweaki.exe utility (see Tweaki.exe utility for advanced setup of the Intellect Axxon PSIM software system section).

In Intellect™ Axxon PSIM™ software, actual frame rates of digitized video signals in the debug mode are displayed on the Monitor. To define the frame rate of video signal from a selected camera, do the following:

...

 Changing frame grooming

By default INTELLECT™ Axxon PSIM™ software digitizes video signals with the frame rate lower than maximum allowed one. This is caused by the following:

...

1. Go to the Hardware tab in the System settings dialog box (1).
2. Select the relevant Video Capture Device object, created before, in the Hardware tab in the objects tree (2). The settings panel for the selected object is displayed in the right part of the Hardware tab.
   
3. If it is necessary to increase the total frame rate up to the maximum allowed value, move the Rate slider to the Max position (3).
4. If it is necessary to reduce the total frame rate to the minimum allowed value, move the Rate slider to the Min position. The minimum total frame rate of video signals, digitized and processed by selected ADC, is 3 times lower than the maximum allowed one.
5. If it is necessary to return the default grooming settings, move the Rate slider to the middle position. The default total frame rate is 2 times lower than the maximum allowed one.
6. Click the Apply button (4).
7. Close the System settings dialog box and restart INTELLECT™ Axxon PSIM™ software.

Before reassigning the cameras to ADCs of the video capture card, disable the Camera objects corresponding to disabled cameras (see Frame rate settings#Configuring Configuring video subsystem with disabled video channels section).

...

1. Select the Camera 1 object in the objects tree. The settings panel for the selected object is displayed.
2. Select Video Capture Device 3 in the Video Capture Device list.
3. Click the Apply button.
4. The Camera 1 object moves to the subdirectory of the Video Capture Device 3 object (see B).
5. Repeat (1) – (4) steps for the Camera 3 and Camera 4 objects.
6. Select the Video Capture Device 1 object in the objects tree.
7. Make sure that the Speed slider is in the max position.
   If the Speed slider is in the max position, then setup is completed.
   If the Speed slider is in another position, move it to the max position and do (8) - (10) steps.
8. Click the Apply button.
9. Close the System settings dialog box and restart INTELLECT™ Axxon PSIM™ software.
10. The frame rate of the selected camera increases up to the Real time rate (for information on testing the frame rate change, see the Frame rate settings#Actual Actual frame rate section).
11. If the number of connected cameras prevents the configuration of video signal digitization from one of the cameras with the Real time rate (for example, when 15 of 16 allowed cameras are connected), or if the frame rate on several cameras is to be increased simultaneously to the rate, lower than the Real time one, then the cameras, the frame rate of which is to be increased, are allocated between ADCs and they do not exceed the maximum allowable number. The frame rate is increased by as many times, as the number of cameras on ADC is reduced.

...

1. Select the Camera 1 object in the objects tree. The settings panel for the selected object is displayed.
2. Select Video Capture Device 3 in the Video Capture Device list.
3. Click the Apply button.
4. The Camera 1 object moves to a subdirectory of the Video Capture Device 3 object (B).
5. Repeat (1) – (4) steps for the Camera 5 object.
6. The frame rate on Camera1 and Camera5 increases twofold (for information on testing the frame rate change see the Frame rate settings#Actual Actual frame rate section).
7. Click the Apply button.

A camera is allocated with additional ADC resources via the priority process queue.

INTELLECT™ Axxon PSIM™ software provides 1/2 and 1/3 process queues.
