Video Stream Delay - This selection determines how fast video feed streams to your
camera view frame in Live Viewer. Changing the delay causes the video you are viewing
to be delayed by that amount. The default value is 500 ms (milliseconds), but the options
range from 50ms to 2 seconds. The smaller the delay value the video is viewed closer to
real-time, but if the delay time is too small the video could freeze or hang.
Be sure to change the video stream delay setting before adding the camera to a view
frame. If you change the preference after the camera has been added to the view frame,
you will have to close it, change the setting again, and then re-add the camera to the
view frame. If you close the Live Viewer application, your video stream delay preferences
are saved, and ready for your next session.
If video freezes in low light conditions, set the video stream delay value to a larger value - at
least 700ms or greater - especially on slow frame rate high definition cameras (such as
Cohu).
Enable advanced user mode - A check mark by this element allows the shortcut menu
to display from the Live Viewer when you right-click the Title bar. The advanced mode
shortcut menu features camera related options if the camera has the available
functionality (such as pan, tilt, zoom).
