Page 51: Video Performance
System Configuration Video Performance The VPort 36-1MP can send a maximum of three simultaneous video streams: two H.264 and one MJEPG. In fact, the VPort 36-1MP has two encoder engines. The first encoder engine can generate one completely independent H.264 video stream, which means that its resolution, FPS, and video quality can be configured independently. - Page 52 NOTE The VPort 36-1MP supports a maximum of three simultaneous video streams, and the FPS will be affected when all three video streams are enabled. If the video quality is set very high for all three video streams, the total FPS for the three streams combined is about 75.
