How do Image, Stream, and Stream profile settings relate to each other?
The
Image
tab contains camera settings that affect all video streams from the product. If you change something in this tab, it
immediately affects all video streams and recordings.
The
Stream
tab contains settings for video streams. You get these settings if you request a video stream from the product and don’t
specify for example resolution, or frame rate. When you change the settings in the
Stream
tab, it doesn’t affect ongoing streams, but
it will take effect when you start a new stream.
The
Stream profiles
settings override the settings from the
Stream
tab. If you request a stream with a specific stream profile, the
stream contains the settings of that profile. If you request a stream without specifying a stream profile, or request a stream profile
that doesn't exist in the product, the stream contains the settings from the
Stream
tab.
