Video Settings
Each Video icon (Video 1 to Video 4) within the graphic display represents a video input to the
AXIS 2400. Icons that are dull or opaque in color indicate the connected video source is not
enabled; whereas, a cross x visible to the left of a video icon means that a video signal is not present
at the relative input.
Click the appropriate button to configure your chosen video source, including:
• Video Enable/Disable
• Specifying the Pan Tilt driver (serial port) each connected video camera is connected to - if any.
• Setting the image features as displaying text, clock, color or B&W etc
• Specifying the video modulation standard, either automatically or manually.
Note: For optimized performance, it is recommended that you disable all unused video ports.
Image Settings
The image settings can be set generically - for all connected video sources, or specifically - limiting
your settings to the video source selected previously in the graphic only
.
Click the Image Settings button to set the image features for a selected video source; then, from the
Apply settings to drop-down dialog, select whether the settings are to be applied generically or
specifically; that is, Video 1’s or All Videos.
