Enabling video ports

Select Devices from the left menu

By default each Bluecherry hardware compression card is minimized. Clicking on the title will open the devices as seen above.

Click 'Enable' for each port that you want to enable

Once a port is enabled you have several options. Each camera can have the resolution independantly controlled. We currently support 704x480 and 352x240. Updating the Resolution and FPS will also update the 'Unused capacity', which is the total amount of frames per second that you have left on this card. Note, the current 16 port cards only support 120FPS @ 704x480, or 480FPS @ 352x240.

You can also change the Encoding from this screen from NTSC to PAL. Note, by default the driver loads up as NTSC. Changing to PAL requires a quick command line change, follow this knowledge base article for more information.

After that command is ran, restart the computer

To change the name of the camera, simply click on the current camera title (by default "Port X on Card 0"), type the new name for that camera and hit enter
