Tag: PAL Cameras

Sometimes exacqVision SDVR boards do not immediately recognize the PAL format of analog cameras. Images could be displayed in black and white or even with tearing. If your PAL cameras show those issues when using SDVR boards, complete the following steps in Linux:

1. Log out of the restricted user account and log in as an administrator.
2. Close the exacqVision Client.
3. Click Start and select Accessories and then Terminal.
4. Type sudo /etc/init.d/edvrserver stop.
5. Type admin256 at the prompt (or the correct admin password if it has been changed from the default).
6. Type sudo nano /etc/stretch.conf.
7. Find the DefaultVideoStandard=”NTSC” line in the file.
8. Change the line to DefaultVideoStandard=”PAL”.
9. Press Ctrl+O to output the file.
10. Press Enter to confirm.
11. Press Ctrl+X to exit.
12. Type sudo /etc/init.d/edvrserver start.
13. Restart exacqVision Client.
