AXIS P7210 Video Encoder

Troubleshooting

Multicast H.264 only

accessible by local clients

Check if your router supports multicasting, or if the router settings between the client and the

product need to be con

gured. The TTL (Time To Live) value may need to be increased.

Poor rendering of H.264

images

Color depth set incorrectly on clients. Set to 16–bit or 32–bit color.

If text overlays are blurred, or if there are other rendering problems, you may need to enable

Advanced Video Rendering fromv the Video tab in the AMC Control Panel.

Ensure that your graphics card is using the latest driver. The latest drivers can usually be

downloaded from the manufacturer’s website.

Color saturation is different

in H.264 and Motion JPEG

Modify the settings for your graphics adapter. Refer to the adapter’s documentation for more

information.

Lower frame rate than

expected

Reduce the number of applications running on the client computer.

Limit the number of simultaneous viewers.

Check with the network administrator that there is enough bandwidth available.

Check in the AMC Control Panel (H.264 tag) that video processing is NOT set to

Decode only

key frames

Lower the image resolution.

Why do I not get maximum

frames per second?

See

Performance considerations, on page 50

The maximum frames per second is dependent on the utility frequency (60/50 Hz) of the Axis

product. See

Technical Speci

cations, on page 49
