The MMR feature supports the media file formats that the client system supports, since local decoders must
exist on the client. File formats include MPEG2, WMV, AVI, and WAV, among others.
For best quality, use Windows Media Player 10 or later, and install it on both the local computer, or client
access device, and the View desktop.

N The View Client video display hardware must have overlay support for MMR to work correctly.
