total prealarm seconds among all those cameras. The Pre-Alarm Memory
Used field indicates the percentage of the prealarm memory that is al-
ready assigned.

The Hardware tab is also where you tell MasterControl whether you are using the
DVXi system in a country that has adopted the NTSC or PAL video standard.
Generally, countries in the Western Hemisphere (including those in North America
and South America and United States territories) use the NTSC standard; coun-
tries in the Eastern Hemisphere (including those in Europe, Africa, Australia, and
much of Asia) generally use the PAL standard. Notable exceptions are Japan,
South Korea, The Philippines, and Taiwan—all of which use the NTSC standard.
Information on the Hardware tab is inaccessible while recording.
Note
The Maximize Framerate on Alarm option causes MasterControl to
automatically record at the fastest possible frame rate during alarm
events.
Tip
The Maximum frame rate setting is a calculation of the maximum
image-capture rate of the hardware divided by the number of con-
nected cameras. For example, a DVXi XM16 system with four con-
nected cameras would capture 15 images per second per camera,
because XMUX captures 60 images per second (60/4=15).
