Live View Config
Layout
The settings on this page allow you to decide the layout of the Live View page. You can include action
buttons, decide the default video format, and the default viewer among other things.
Default Video Format
Select the default video format to use on the Live View page. Checking the Show video format selection
box option displays a drop-down list on the Live View page allowing you to temporarily change the format.
When using MPEG-4 as the video format, the default viewer is AXIS Media Control with Internet Explorer.
Note:
It is also possible to view Motion JPEG when MPEG-4 is chosen as default and vice versa.
Default Viewer
From the drop-down lists, select the default method for viewing video images for your browser. The camera
will attempt to show the video images in the selected video format and viewer. If this is not possible, the
camera will override the settings and select the best available combination.
Viewer Settings
