Configuring Video Resources

Profile Family

229

If a resource such as a video input is available, the box next to its name is not
checked and its name is not dimmed. If it in use, its name is dimmed. If it is in
conflict, that is, in use by another application or channel, its name is red. If it
has been acquired, the box next to its name is checked.

NOTE: The default channel type is a JPEG player/recorder. This is
the only choice available at this time.

Configuring Video Resources

To configure video resources:

1. Choose the category of resources you want to allocate: Video, Audio, or

Timecode. Video is the default. To configure another resource, click on the
appropriate icon.

2. Choose a video codec. The default is none. If you select the Any Codec

option, this means that the first available codec is chosen from among the
four physical codecs on the Profile. You can also choose a specific, physical
codec (Codec 1–4) or no codec at all.

3. In descending order, the choices for video quality (compression) are High,

Medium, Nominal, Draft, and two custom settings, Custom 1 and 2. Medium
is the default. The higher the quality, the more disk space is used. To change
the video quality, choose another setting from the Video Quality box.
