The C-Werk software package enables you to work with virtual video cameras.

This requires running C-Werk in test mode and consists of imitating a stream of video data by playing an available video clip (recording). You can play video recordings using video compression algorithms supported by C-Werk (see Specifications of the C-Werk software package).

Note

Do not use video with B-frames.

To create and configure a virtual video camera, complete the following steps:

  1. Run IP Device Discovery Wizard (see Adding and removing IP devices).
  2. In the form for manually adding an IP device, select Grundig in the Vendor drop-down list (1).

  3. Select Virtual from the models list to emulate a single-stream video camera. Select Virtual several streams to emulate a video camera supporting multiple streams (2).

  4. Click the button.

  5. In the Folder field, specify the storage location of the video clip that will be used to imitate a video signal.

    Note

    The name of the video file and its file path must consist only of Latin characters.

    Note

    Scanning for files in a specified directory is limited to one minute.

  6. By default, a video will be played back endlessly. To switch to one-shot playback, set Yes for the corresponding parameter.

  7. Click the Apply button.
