Streaming Profile Information
If the baseline streaming profile isn't supported on the camera, the computer must do some decoding to display the camera feed. If the computer is lower powered and/or old, the computer may not be able to process efficiently and cause a longer delay or no camera feed at all for Live View Only. The recording and playback will not be affected.
SimCapture cannot 100% support these cameras currently as the playback computer specifications are out of the control of the Support team. The solution from Support will be for the customer to utilize a newer computer for live view; within 3 recent CPU generations.
We are working with Axis to get more information on why they removed it from the newer chipsets and if we need to make any changes in software or if we will need to change our requirements.
