Video Source Settings - Axis Video Server User Manual

Text overlay settings
Include date, time and/or text of your choice to be viewed on the image. The color of the
text may be set to white or black, while background color may be set to white, black,
transparent or semitransparent. The position of the text is set either to the top or the bot-
tom of the image.
Video stream
The Maximum video stream time can be set as Unlimited, or set a maximum stream time
per session in seconds, minutes or hours. When the set time has expired, a new stream on
the Live View page can be started by refreshing the page in the web browser. Note that the
maximum video stream time does not apply to clients connecting via multicast.
To avoid bandwidth problems on the network, the frame rate allowed to each viewer can
also be limited. Select either Unlimited or define a maximum frame rate per viewer.
Test
For a preview of the image and overlay settings before saving, click Test. When you are
satisfied with the settings, click Save.

Video source settings

These settings allow you to:
• enter a descriptive name for the video source (AXIS 241Q/QA only)
• eliminate any black borders surrounding the image, by making Offset adjust-
ments. See the online help for more information.
AXIS 242S IV and AXIS 241S/SA only:
Select the physical connector the video source is connected to, BNC or Y/C.
• BNC (composite video) connects a standard video camera or other video equip-
ment
• Y/C (S-video) connects a Y/C (S-Video) camera or other video equipment
On the AXIS 241S/SA, the video type can be converted from composite video to Y/C
(S-Video) by using a Y/C to BNC cable. See page 60 for more information. See also the dip
switch settings on page 9.
The AXIS 242S IV supports Y/C video directly on the S-Video connector.
