Setting Item Resolution

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

It is possible to override the default image quality for a single item in layout to high- or low-resolution playback.

This is useful, for example, when you need to save CPU usage by the client (in which case you would force the playback setting to low-resolution), or to enhance image quality for a given item (in which case you would force the setting to high-resolution). Note that because this setting is saved for each item individually, it is possible to have the same device playing back at a different resolution in different layout items. 

This setting overrides the setting for the entire layout (controlled using Viewing Grid context menu -> Resolution) and is saved when the layout is saved. However, Fullscreen Mode will always display an item using the highest possible image quality.

note Note: Image quality settings depend on the camera's secondary stream settings (see "Adjusting Secondary Stream Quality").

To specify item playback resolution

1.Right-click on the item in layout to open the context menu and choose Resolution.

2.The default is Auto. Select High or Low.

3.Click the information icon info_hovered or use the item context menu Show Info (shortcut Alt+I) to confirm the setting (see "Image Display Controls").

See "Setting layout resolution manually" as well.
