10.4 Live Tab
The Live tab controls features of the Live Viewer.
Software
Rendered
This is the default setting for VIGIL Servers that are not equipped with a capture 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:
l
Display up to 32 camera feeds.
l
Display of network camera video feeds.
l
Information overlays such as recording status and video analytics data.
l
Fully configurable Live Viewer camera display.
l
Zooming displayed cameras.
l
TV Output and Analog Multiplexing.
Hardware
Rendered
This is the default setting for VIGIL Servers equipped with a capture card. 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 cam-
eras in either software or hardware rendered mode via the Live Viewer icon drop-down menu.
Max Over-
lay 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 Lay-
outs that are not selected will display at 1 FPS.
Note: 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.
Disable
Hardware
Live Over-
lay
Checking the Disable Hardware Live Overlay disables the ability to use Hardware Rendered mode to avoid conflict
with incompatible video cards. This option is only available on systems with a capture card installed.
