Camera channels

Camera channels are sourced from camera or video hardware connected through an EX23-R PoE Switch.

ClosedGeneric parameters

  • Connector: A unique hardware identifier created by the system. To change the device or connector, select the channel and click Change device.
  • Name: The channel name must be unique and contain valid characters (invalid characters are single and double quotes, '\', '@', '#', '&', '<', '>').
  • Description: Enter an optional detailed description of the channel.
  • Collect: Select the Collect checkbox to write the channel data to the SIE data file during a test run.
  • Frame rate: Set the number of video frames per second to capture and write to the SIE data file.
  • Image size: Set the image resolution in pixels of each video frame captured.
  • Image compression: Set the percentage of compression for each video frame captured.

CAUTION
Video streaming is both CPU intensive and data intensive when using multiple cameras. Long tests can easily fill the CX23-R hard drive or a large number of channels can overload the CPU such that a test is not able to start. If either of these issues occur, reduce the image quality parameters of the camera channels.
