3xLOGIC VIGIL Server - Manual (Page 135)

10.3 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 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:
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 Live Overlay. When selected, images are ren-
dered 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 modevia 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 rec-
ommended setting is to only decode all frames on the single camera layout.
Disable Hardware
Live Overlay
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 capture card
installed.
