1.3.6. Real-time Display vs Mux Display

SRX-Pro offers two different Live mode displays: Real-time and Mux (Multiplexer) display.
Real-time display allows viewing analog cameras only. This mode takes raw video directly from the capture card,
therefore IP cameras cannot be viewed in Real-time mode. All connected analog video inputs are assigned to the default
screen division, the main screen division display cannot be changed in real-time mode. Real-time display does not support
text overlay feature or any custom indicators such as PAN/TILT, Intelli-Zone, etc. Additionally, the real-time mode displayed
all channels at the 30 frames-per-second rate. Real-time mode is best to be used for monitoring and surveillance. Real-
time display mode does not reflect the quality of the video recording. I.e. If the Camera 1 is set to 7 FPS recording rate,
it will still be displayed at 30 FPS rate in the Real-time display on Live mode.
Mux (Multiplexer) display allows viewing both analog and IP cameras. Text overlay feature and drag-and-drop features
are supported. Each video input can be assigned to one or more channels. Video channels can be organized based on
customer preference on the main screen display. Mux mode displays the video recording at the same speed as it is recorded
(See Recording/Display section for more information). I.e. If the Camera 1 is set to 7 FPS recording rate, it will be displayed
at 7 FPS rate in the Mux display on Live mode.
Compare Real-time display and Mux display of Channels 1-4, where Channels 1 and 2 are analog cameras and Channels
3 and 4 are IP cameras.
Mux display:
Channels 1-4 are displayed, where Channels 1-2 are analog and Channels 3-4 are IP. Text overlay feature is supported.
