Optimum System Load

While Unify is powerful, there is a limit to the number of concurrent tasks the onboard CPU can perform efficiently.

The number of concurrent tasks depends on many factors, such as:

• the number of video sources

• what frame rate and bitrate is used for a channel

Other limiting factors

• how many channels you have

• how many layouts you have per channel

• how often you switch layouts

• if the system is resizing (scaling) video sources

For best results, we recommend keeping System load usage under 70%.

Recommendations

If the system load is higher than recommended, you can:

• Remove unused channels or layouts.

• Reduce the number of channels created.

• Stop channel(s) that are streaming or recording.

• Ensure video sources come in at the right resolution so that Unify doesn't have to up scale or down scale the video source.
