Server cannot be displayed.
Solution When many Camera Servers are placed in one layout and a layout sequence is run in a short
time, system resources required for communication may run short. Reduce the number of
Camera Servers to be displayed in a layout, or make the switching interval for layout
sequences longer.
• Viewer operation seems to slow down.
Situation Viewer operation slows down.
Solution The performance of a Viewer depends largely on CPU specifications and graphics
specifications of the PC on which the Viewer is installed. When Viewer operation slows down,
try to reduce the number of Camera Servers to be displayed or decrease a live frame rate. If
the video quality of Camera Servers is set high or the resolution is set to VGA, processing
may take a long time because the size of image data is large. In this case, review the video
quality or video size in the Camera Server settings.
