Parameters
The Parameters tab allows you to define parameters for the video process.
- Disable manual time synchronization keeps the EntraPass server from updating the video server date and time following a manual modification of time. This feature is useful when, for example, you want to keep all recording events that occurred at the video server regardless of the actual time at the EntraPass server.
- The Remote video process control parameters section contains parameters that define remote management of video processes between the EntraPass Server and the video servers connected to EntraPass. It manages all the tasks (controls) related to: recordings, polls, events, and presets and patterns.
- Preset and pattern control application
field allows you to enter the number of applications that are simultaneously
launched for processing presets and patterns. The system is preset with a
range value of 1 to 8 concurrent applications. Note: A Preset and Pattern Control application is launched each time a video recording is started following a trigger on a preset. If you set this number to 1 and if there are for instance more than 1 video servers with presets and patterns defined, the control application processes presets on all video servers. If you decide to increase the number of Preset and Pattern Control Applications, keep in mind that running many concurrent applications takes a great amount of system resources.
- Preset and pattern control application
field allows you to enter the number of applications that are simultaneously
launched for processing presets and patterns. The system is preset with a
range value of 1 to 8 concurrent applications.
- Reset remote video process application allows the system to terminate and automatically restart the Remote Video Process application a few seconds later. This option may be used in instances when the video events are not being displayed.
- Reset remote video process applications control allows the system to terminate the Control applications (recordings, polls, events and preset and patterns) and automatically restart the Remote Video Process application.
- Log Video process error allows the system to keep a log of all video process
errors in the EntraPass server files. Video process errors are logged in C:\Program
files\Kantech\Server_CE\Bin\Log. Each Remote Video Process
Control application generates a log file:
- RVP_LOG_00.txt (errors generated by RVP0.exe)
- RVPPoll_LOG_01.txt (errors generated by RVPPOLL1.exe)
- RVPEvent_LOG_02.txt (errors generated by RVEVENT3.exe)
- RVPRecord_LOG_03.txt (errors generated by RVPRECORD3.exe).
- RVPControl_LOG_04.txt (errors generated by RVPCONTROL4.exe).The system generates as many log files as there are control applications running concurrently (RVPControl_LOG_05 to 08). The number of error log files are equal to the number defined in the Preset and pattern control application field .
Snap:
The Snap option allows you to define the image quality that displays in the video thumbnails.
- The Video image snap indicates the quality of the image that is saved as a thumbnail for each video. If you choose 10, the saved image quality is poor; 100 indicates an excellent quality.
Intellex:
The Intellex options allow you to define the bandwidth allowed for the video process (for Intellex only).
- Disable DirectX disables DirectX, a
Windows® technology that enables higher performance when working or viewing graphics
and other multimedia contents, including video and sound. By default, DirectX is
enabled with the Video feature. You may sometimes need to disable it if, for
example, video images are not correctly displayed or are not displayed at all. Note: The system uses more system resources when DirectX is disabled
- Limit video bandwidth allows you to reduce or increase the bandwidth required to stream live video without compromising video storage quality and computer performance. The range value is between 64 KB/s to 8192 KB/s. The value applies to all workstations including the EntraPass Server . However, for any specific workstation, this value can be reduced locally from the Options toolbar > Multimedia Devices > Video .
- Video vault save delay is used to indicate the time delay before the video vault recording can be played back.
Note: The workstation value cannot exceed the EntraPass Server value.
HDVR:
- Video vault save delay is used to indicate the time delay before the video vault recording can be played back.
TVR:
- Video vault save delay is used to indicate the time delay before the video vault recording can be played back.
