How does the ‘Active profile’ work for Flexidome Multi 7000i camera?

Question

Answer

"Active profile" shows the non-recording profile when recording is off. When the "Encoder Streams" menu is accessed while the device is recording, the following message appears at the top of the page: “Recording is currently active".

When recording is on, the "Active profile" shows the recording profile. So in case of recording off, you can change Active profile in the drop-down menu from “Non-recording profile”. When recording is on, the active profile is managed by *“Recording profiles”.

This is working as designed and therefore, selecting alternate active profiles for stream 1 for all cameras will not be possible and you will have to select profile 2: Balanced.

Note: Stream settings can be chosen for each of the 4 cameras separately and each stream has their own active profile.

Keep in mind that any settings made to the “Stream limits” affect options for each stream.
Stream limits decree what the maximum resolution is for each stream. For stream 2 and 3, lower resolution settings can still be made in the non-recording profile editor.

*“Recording profiles" menu:

You can make changes to the recording options on a per-camera basis for both recorders; 8 settings in total.

When you make changes (for example, from continuous recording to pre-alarm recording), there is no way to see that this was changed in the table.

Therefore, to check if everything is set-up correctly, you need to check each camera-recorder combination in the list one-by-one and for each profile.

Good to know:

Below you will find the profile number description, as described in the Operation Manual:

Profile number Description

Profile 1 For a high resolution image, the video bit rate and frame quality are adjusted to ensure that the picture quality is the priority.
Profile 2 For a high resolution image, the video bit rate and frame quality are adjusted to a median profile for everyday use.
Profile 3 For a high resolution image, the video bit rate and frame quality are adjusted to ensure that the bit rate is the priority.
Profile 4 For a low resolution image, the video bit rate and frame quality are adjusted to ensure that the picture quality is the priority.
Profile 5 For a low resolution image, the video bit rate and frame quality are adjusted to a median profile for everyday use.
Profile 6 For a low resolution image, the video bit rate and frame quality are adjusted to ensure that the bit rate is the priority.
Profile 7 Ideal for encoding on a DSL uplink where bit rate limitations are critical.
Profile 8 Ideal for encoding on a 3G uplink where bit rate limitations are critical.

Stream 1 always runs at maximum selected resolution in stream limits. On stream 2 and 3, you can select various downscaled resolutions.
