Synchronize Hardware

Precision Synchronization for Hardware Settings

About

Each hardware device could contain one or more cameras, speakers, microphones, inputs, outputs, and metadata streams. Use this block to control which hardware properties are automatically synchronized by RMF. Such settings correspond to IP addresses, passwords, device-level event definitions, hardware names, etc.

Scope

The scope of action is limited to RMF-licensed devices selected in the Device Selection section. The direction of synchronization depends on the direction setting. See Set Synchronization Direction. If no devices are selected in the Device Selection block, this option is disabled.

Please see the "Settings here correspond to" section in the picture below to understand which XProtect features this screen synchronizes.
