Camera Select

At time of writing we have only tested the HDMI Video Capture stick below so would not be able to say how other models perform.

Please note, some PTZ camera models natively support thumbnail presets like the Canon CR-N500. The FrameLink package, Framelink Window, and the HDMI Video Capture stick are not needed for those models of cameras. This is only for cameras or other devices that do not natively support this feature. 


The breakdown of the 21 FrameLink Window options is seen below. The incoming HDMI feed can be broken up into either full picture, a 2x2 grid, or a 4x4 grid.

Entering the corresponding squares number into the FrameLink Window section of the Camera Selector’s Constant Set will use that portion of the image as the thumbnail for the preset. In general the grids are for use with a multiviewer.
