View Areas
A view area is a cropped part of the full view. Each view area is treated as a video source in Live View and has its own video
stream and PTZ settin gs.

When setting up a view area it is re c ommended that the v ideo stream resolution is the same si ze as or smaller tha n the view area
size. Setting the video stream resolution larger than the view area size implies digitally scaled up video after sensor capture,
requiring more bandwidth without adding image information.

2. Click Add.
3. The new view area appears under Selected view area. Enter a descriptive name in the Name field.
4. Select an Aspect ratio and a Video stream resolution.
