Camera Channels
Camera channels are sourced from camera or video hardware connected through an EX23-R PoE Switch.
Show common parameters
- Connector: A unique hardware identifier created by the system. To change the connector, remove the channel and re-add it using the correct connector.
- 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.
- Measurand: Enter an optional measurement type.
- Data type: The format of the channel data output.
- 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.
