   1. 1. From the drop-down list
   of
   2. 1. in the Number column
   .As
   3. 1. , select the number of the camera. As a result, the name of the selected camera
   is

      2. If multistream mode

   has been selected for a

   in

   6. 1. on the Monitor

   (4)

   7. 1. . If no stream is

   indicated

   8. 1. selected, the default stream is used.

   9. 1. Configuration of the Server video streams is described in Configuring the

   section Configuration of

   10. 1. multistream video. The selected video stream is requested when receiving a video signal both from the Server and via the Videogate.

       2. By default, the
   Video Surveillance
   11. 1. Monitor receives a video stream through the Server. If it is necessary to get the video stream directly from the camera, not through
   a
   12. 1. the Server,
   but
   13. 1. from
   a camera directly, in
   14. 1. the Connection drop-down list, select Direct.

       2. If a video signal

   is

   15. 1. needs to be

   groomed

   16. 1. decimated for its

   transmitting

   17. 1. transmission to the Client Monitor

   of the Client

   18. 1. ,

   then

   19. 1. select the required frame rate of the video signal

   in

   20. 1. from the drop-down list

   of

   21. 1. in the fps column. 

          Note
          title Attention!

   It is strongly not recommended to use additional grooming

   22. 1. We strongly discourage you from setting additional decimation and/or compression

   of

   23. 1. for video

   signal which is

   24. 1. signals displayed on the Server Monitor

   of a Server as it will lead to additional spending of Server resources and deterioration of video quality.

   25. 1. , as this results in unnecessary consumption of the Server resources while the video image quality deteriorates.

          Features of fps selection:

          1. The selected FPS value must

   The selected fps value is to
   26. 1. 1. be less than the frame rate
   for
   27. 1. 1. of the video digitising by a video capture card. Otherwise, the frame rate of the video signal will be the same as the
   fps
   28. 1. 1. FPS of digitising.

          2. Four streams for a chip are processed on SC300Q16 (FX4) video capture card. If the chip processes a stream without a signal (blue screen), then the total
   fps
   41. 1. 1. FPS is 10 (
   4 x 2,5fps
   42. 1. 1. 4x2.5 FPS) for one chip.
       2. From the Hardware decoding drop-down list, select default CPU decoder (blank value), Nvidia decoder, or Intel Quick Sync. Selecting a hardware decoder increases the load on the corresponding CPU. 

       3. If video signal compression level

   is

   43. 1. needs to be changed for

   transmitting

   44. 1. transmission to the Client Monitor

   of the Client

   45. 1. , select the required level of video signal compression

   in

   46. 1. from the drop-down list

   of the

   47. 1. in the Compression column.

   Compression level is increased

   48. 1. The compression level of the video signal increases from 0 (no compression) to 5 (maximum compression).

       2. To change the

   procedure

   55. 1. algorithm of the video signal compression

   during displaying on the

   56. 1. for transmission to the Client Monitor, select the required
