
the maximum number of frames between keyframes

on-screen date/time/text display for a selected camera, or for all cameras within a device
group.
The drivers for the cameras determine the content of the Settings tab. The drivers vary depending on
the type of camera.
For cameras that support more than one type of stream, for example MPEG4, MJPEG, and H.264,
you can use multi-streaming, see About multi-streaming (on page 99).
When you change a setting, you can quickly verify the effect of your change if you have the Preview
pane enabled. You cannot use the Preview pane to judge the effect of frame rate changes because
the Preview pane's thumbnail images use another frame rate defined in the Options dialog box.
If you change the settings for Max. frames between keyframes and Max. frames between
keyframes mode, it may lower the performance of some functionalities in XProtect Smart Client. For
example, XProtect Smart Client requires a keyframe to start up showing video, so a longer period
between keyframes, prolongs the XProtect Smart Client start up.
