Configuring the Video Inputs

The Video Input Detail page allows the configuration of the video format and the camera control
protocol for each attached camera.
When using 4 CIF the video is automatically deinterlaced to give a better quality on motion.
The Serial ports and Sensornet configurations should be completed before the Video Input
configuration, as detailed in Procedure 3-17.
