The system has a function that allows you to change the media profile live when selecting a camera in the Camera and Object View Panel. This feature is especially useful to save processing and bandwidth used by the Monitoring Station. When multiple cameras are being viewed on the same monitor, it will rarely be necessary to use the maximum resolution for these multiplexed cameras on screen, as the monitor resolution is generally lower than the resolution of all cameras combined, therefore, it is recommended to use a lower resolution for live viewing by default, and when greater detail is needed, have the ability to switch to a higher resolution media profile easily.
To keep system operation simple and efficient, switching the media profile can be done by simply selecting the live camera:
Note that in the example above, the unselected camera is displaying a 704x480 resolution image, which is suitable for being displayed in small quadrants, together with other cameras. As it is a low-resolution image, it will consume less bandwidth and CPU or GPU resources to decode the video, thus allowing a greater number of simultaneous cameras on screen. When the camera is selected (Image on the right), the system will switch to a larger profile (In the example above, 1920x1080), allowing the visualization of greater details, as well as a better Digital Zoom.
This feature must be configured by the System Administrator through the Administration Client.
