10.3 Live Tab
The Live tab controls features of the Live Viewer.
This is the default setting for DVRs that are not equipped with a Live Overlay card. When selected,
images in the Live Viewer will be rendered through software. The software rendering displays a
number of features not available to the hardware rendering:
Software
Rendered
• Display up to 32 camera feeds.
• Display of network camera video feeds.
• Information overlays such as recording status and video analytics data.
• Fully configurable Live Viewer camera display.
• Zooming displayed cameras.
• TV Output and Analog Multiplexing.
Hardware
Rendered
This is the default setting for DVRs equipped with Live Overlay. When selected, images are rendered
in real-time at full camera frame rates in the Live Viewer window. When enabled, there is the option
of displaying cameras in either software or hardware rendered mode via the Live Viewer icon drop-
down menu.
Max Overlay FPS
On PROSERIES systems, sets the Maximum FPS in Hardware Rendered Live Viewer. For example, if
the FPS is set to 120, a 32 camera layout would display at 4FPS, a 4 camera layout would display at
30FPS.
Live Decode All
Frames
Select which Live Viewer Layouts will decode all frames (the FPS the camera is recording at). The
Live Viewer Layouts that are not selected will display at 1 FPS. This setting is CPU and RAM
intensive, enabling this on Layouts with a high number of cameras can degrade system
performance. The recommended setting is to only decode all frames on the single camera layout.
Use Software Mux
On DRX systems, enabling this setting will allow a multiplexed video signal on the second analog
output monitor.
