either with a common default, or individually for each camera.
5.
Click OK to close the Carousel Setup window.
6.
Make sure that the required position in the view is selected, then go to the Properties
section in the left part of the Setup tab.
In the Properties section, specify the following settings for the carousel:
•
Image Quality: The setting—which will apply for all cameras included in the
carousel—determines the quality of the images when viewed, but also affects
bandwidth usage. If your Smart Client is used over the internet, over a slow
network connection, or if for other reasons you need to limit bandwidth use, image
quality can be reduced on the server side by selecting e.g. Low or Medium.
When selecting a reduced image quality, images are re-encoded on the server to a
JPEG format along the following lines:
o
Full: The default setting, providing the full quality of the original image.
o
SuperHigh (for megapixel): Re-encoding to an image output width of 640
pixels (VGA) and a JPEG quality level of 25%.
o
High: Re-encoding to an image output width of 320 pixels (QVGA) and a
JPEG quality level of 25%.
o
Medium: Re-encoding to an image output width of 200 pixels and a JPEG
quality level of 25%.
o
Low: Re-encoding to an image output width of 160 pixels and a JPEG
quality level of 20%.
Image height will scale according to the width and the aspect ratio of the original
image.
Your image quality selection will apply for JPEG as well as MPEG. For MPEG,
however, only keyframes will be re-encoded.
Note: When viewing live video, you can double-click a carousel (or any other
camera position in a view) to enlarge it (see page 58 or 72). When you do this,
video from cameras included in the carousel is by default displayed in full quality,
regardless of your image quality selection. This default cannot be overridden for
carousels.
