How to improve poor image quality on epiphan DVR?
Ensure the source resolution is used as the output or recorded resolution, because up-scaling and down-scaling can affect picture quality. Also, you can increase the Bitrate value and/or decrease the Limit frame rate value in the Encoding menu.
Why does the epiphan DVR stream keep interrupting?
Ensure the source resolution is used as the output or recorded resolution, because up-scaling and down-scaling can affect picture quality. Increase the Bitrate value and/or decrease the Limit frame rate value in the Encoding menu. Also, check network settings including filters, routers and application settings, because packet loss can result in stream failure.
What to do if epiphan DVR frames per second are lower than expected?
To fix this: 1. Increase the Limit frame rate value and/or decrease the Bitrate value in the Encoding menu. 2. Reduce the number of actions happening simultaneously on the system (i.e. if streaming, recording, and copying files, consider waiting to copy files until after streaming and recording are complete). 3. Enter a low negative value (i.e. -5) in the Frame Grabber's Vertical Shift field. 4. Reduce the number of channels encoding data. 5. Ensure a hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding preset is chosen for all channels.
