Navigation:  Working with Nx Witness > Playback in Nx Witness > Setting Item Resolution

It is possible to override the default image quality for a single item in layout. This is useful, for example, when you need to reduce client CPU usage (in which case you set playback to low-resolution), or to enhance image quality for a given item (in which case you set playback to high-resolution). Note that this setting is saved for each item individually, so it is possible to have the same device playing back at different resolution levels in different layouts.

The resolution setting for a single item overrides the resolution setting for an entire layout (see "Setting Layout Resolution") and is saved when the layout is saved. However, "Fullscreen Mode" and "Dewarp Mode" will always display an item using the highest possible image quality.

Note: All image quality settings are dependent on the camera's primary/secondary stream settings in Nx Witness and any inherent limitations the camera may have (see "Dual Streaming").

To specify item playback resolution

1.Right-click on the item in layout to open the context menu and choose Resolution.

2.The default is Auto. Select High or Low.

3.Click the information icon or use the item context menu Show Info (Alt+I) to confirm the setting (see "Image Display Controls").
