The ‘Active’ checkbox enables or disables the configured keyboard.

Port setting is only used for the analog keyboards and can be disregarded for the ‘Standard Joystick’.

The ‘Custom buttons’ checkbox can be used to reassign standard joystick buttons to be used in the macro system. Instead of sending the presetnumber, it will send a PTZ.Keyboard.Key event with a value of 'F' + presetnumber. These values can be used in a macro, example given:

  • PTZ.Keyboard.Key=F1

  • PTZ.Keyboard.Key=F2

  • PTZ.Keyboard.Key=F3

  • PTZ.Keyboard.Key=F17 (e.g NVH-KEY1003)

Auto Logout

Sync Sense Clients

This button synchronizes changed settings to all clients which are currently connected. This is useful when modifications to layouts or user rights are made and need to be pushed to all operator stations.

Video decoder

This configures client side video decoding capabilities. By default the (client) system’s CPU is used to decode video. To decrease CPU system load when displaying video, the video card resources in the system can be used. This will lower the CPU load by 50% and could improve video displaying performance (reduce lagging). The following options are available

Options:

  • software (decode over CPU)

  • dxva2

  • d3d11va (recommended)

When to use:

  • If client system has Intel based video card capable of video decoding

  • When encountering video lagging in live mode for high resolution cameras in h.264/h.265

  • When encountering video lagging when displaying multiple (high resolution) camaeras
