Technical Information
Play vs. Download: NetVision uses a 'streaming'
playback approach--allowing remote videos to start
playing right-away (without having to be
downloaded 1
st
).
Exception: Due to extremely limited bandwidth,
streaming playback is NOT recommended
through a dial-up connection. Download
instead.
TechTip: Remote (streaming) playback provides
much less 'loading' on the Video Server than
playing the videos on the Video Server itself.
However, it is best to 'download' remote files, and
then play them locally (esp. for pause/resume, etc.).
Remote Playback of ‘Super’ Recordings: When
recordings made at ‘Super’ resolution are played
back through a remote connection, they will never
appear at better than ‘High’ resolution. For viewing
at maximum resolution, download before viewing.
