Budgeting Unit Capacity
The maximum data rate supported by the unit regardless if it is an 8 or 16
channel unit is 64Mbps. When populating the TVN 20 it is important to consider:
Data Rate in Mbps of Cameras being Recorded simultaneously
Data Rate in Mbps of Cameras being Streamed Live (Preview) simultaneously
Data Rate in Mbps of Cameras in Playback simultaneously
The sum total of these simultaneous actions must not exceed 64 Mbps. Possible
system behaviors in these cases are the following:
Video may continue to record (as Recording is a priority event with the TVN 20)
Live viewing will no longer support the number of simultaneous live (preview)
camera displays
Playback may take longer to load than normal
Live and playback images may experience increased packet loss resulting in a
degraded picture
