Problem

Action(s) to Resolve

Frames per second are lower than

expected.

The following tips can help improve frames per second (fps):

 1. Increase the Limit frame rate value and/or decrease the

Bitrate value in the Encoding menu. See

Adjust video

quality

.

 2. Reduce the number of actions happening simultaneously

on the system (i.e. if streaming, recording, and copying

files, consider waiting to copy files until after streaming

and recording are complete).

 3. Enter a low negative value (i.e. -5) in the Frame Grabber's

Vertical Shift field.

 4. Reduce the number of channels encoding data.

Stream won't play in my media player or

browser.

Verify that the Stream Type matches with the media player used

and that you have the correct url or SDP file for the player. See

Viewing with a web browser

and

Viewing with a media player

.

If you still cannot see the stream, try disabling your local

computer firewall.

The stream interrupts or the image

breaks up.

The following tips can help diagnose image problems:

 1. Ensure the source resolution is used as the output or

recorded resolution. Up-scaling and down-scaling can

affect picture quality. See

Upscale or downscale your

video image

.

 2. Increase the Bitrate value and/or decrease the Limit

frame rate value in the Encoding menu. See

Adjust video

quality

.

 3. Check network settings including filters, routers and

application settings. Packet loss can result in stream

failure.

Recording issues.

If recording will not start, check the Disk Status Information to

see if the system is out of disk space. See

Check disk storage

space

and

File Maintenance

.
