VIDEO_CAMERA_NAME

 

Description

Get or set the name of the device.

The camera name setting is only available in the encoders. The decoder could display the encoder's camera name when it connects to the encoder.

If the CHANNEL=n was not set with this URL to the multiple channel video server, this command is read-only command and the CHANNEL 1 video server's VIDEO_CAMERA_NAME configuration will be returned. If the CHANNEL 1 video server is not active, the error message will be returned.

Input Argument

Character string (<128 bytes)

Special Notes:
The maximum length of the camera name is extended to 127 bytes from 31 bytes for accommodating more characters which are UTF-8 encoded. This change was applied to all platform encoders with targeted firmware version. Here is the list of the firmware.

Some functions like text overlay used this settings but their available space for the camera name is not extended, the truncation occurs if the camera name is too long to put into these functions.
