BrightEye NXT 410/415/430 Compact Router Installation, Configuration and Operations Guide
Number of Control Points That Can Operate Simultaneously
The BrightEye NXT performs best with a maximum of four control points operating simultaneously.
The Router’s data bandwidth is shared across all of the control points. Each additional control point
adds an incremental load on the system. When more than four control points are being used, the
BrightEye NXT’s video thumbnail display performance in web browsers may begin to degrade.
Asymmetrical Bandwidth Requirements
The continuous delivery of video thumbnails to each Web Browser Control Point requires more
bandwidth than is required for performing takes. The video thumbnails, comprising the vast bulk
of the data, flow outward from the BrightEye NXT to each Web Control Point. The return data, in
contrast, consists primarily of crosspoint commands, or takes. Because the BrightEye NXT has greater
bandwidth for takes, the execution of takes will still be quite responsive even in a large system with
markedly degraded video refresh performance.
Best Practice: Closing Web Browser Control Points When Not In Use
To minimize the load on the BrightEye NXT, it is recommended to close any Web Browser Control
Points that are not being used.
