Milestone - Adaptive Streaming

Adaptive Streaming reduces the live stream resolution of the Smart Client. This allows the Smart Client to choose the live video stream with the most appropriate resolution out of a variety of streams with different resolutions. Additionally, the amount of data transferred to and handled by the Smart Client is reduced, which increases its performance.

NOTE: Instructional graphics will be added once the upgrade is complete

1. Click Setup to configure the view.
2. In Properties, click the Live Stream dropdown list, and the list of available live video streams appears.
