Specifications

Aero (Windows desktop display technology), virtual machines, multiple monitors, and

remote desktop. In place of a possible 64 cameras each allocating display buffers and

each scaling and drawing to the display, the software now manages this as a single

resource.

• If you are running Blue Iris as a service you will also notice a striking difference in the

speed of the video display--the console now displays video just as quickly as when

running as a desktop application.

• The options for DirectX/GDI have been removed from the Options/Software (See 11.)

page. In their place you will find an option to adjust the quality of the video scaling. By

default this is set to Fast, which provides roughly the same performance and output

quality as the previous DirectX method. If you have CPU cycles to spare, you may adjust

this setting to provide a higher-quality on-screen video preview.

• A significant step was taken toward a longer-term goal of improving clip

management. The memory impact was reduced and you will notice the savings if you

maintain a large number of clips in the New or Stored folders.

• You may enable/disable and pause/un-pause entire groups of cameras at once by

holding the Shift key while selecting these commands from a camera window's right-

click menu. Each camera that is a member of any of the target camera's groups will be

affected.

• Folder size limits on the Options/Clips (See 10.) page have been increased to

accommodate larger volumes.

• Remote PTZ control access is now assignable to specific users via the Options/Users (See

11.) pages.

• On the Options/Clips (See 10.) page you may specify a time during the day for clip

archival to occur. Users with limited upload bandwidth may wish to perform this

function only during off-hours.

• The "Play live audio" camera feature was not properly surviving a software restart.

• The remote view clip list now uses 500 item pages instead the previous of +/- days

buttons. This better accommodates users with large numbers of clips per day. It is still

advisable to use the Cut/Combine option on the Record tab if you are generating large

numbers of clips per day.

• The Status/Cameras page now has a reset button to reset counters to 0.

• The Status/Cameras page now has a column for bit rate for network cameras. It now

will be easy to determine which cameras are the most and least efficient in terms of

network bandwidth consumed.
