How to enable Enhanced mode

  • Connect the 9.3 EdgeVis Encoder to the V9.3 EdgeVis Server as you would any other encoder.

  • Make sure any cameras you wish to test on are now configured via the Encoder user interface.

  • Navigate to the output quality settings for the encoder in the EdgeVis Server interface, using the "Manage streaming output quality" link, shown below:
    ​

  • Once within the configuration screen, make sure that the "Video Codec" option is switched to "Enhanced" mode, shown below:
    ​

Once you have enabled Enhanced mode, you will now be able to view this in the 9.3 EdgeVis Client (Windows). Currently, VMSG does not support this new codec.

Tip: To be able to compare the differences between Standard and Enhanced, why don't you set up multiple output streams to be able to switch between them?
