Please follow the steps below, if you wish to use the settings as per the devices current configured capabilities.

 

Step-by-step guide

• You need to right click on the device and choose “Edit Encoder”

• The device then reports to BVMS what it is capable of doing. Note below the “Device Capabilities” box, that “The device capabilities changed”

• Now if you go to the “Camera’s & recording” section you will notice that the stream options have been changed

• If you need to change the Product variant or base Frame Rate, you will need to ask BVMS again to get the device capabilities.
  Again you will get a different set of stream options. Below set to 30ips.
