Symphony Codec required for blackout masks to work with network cameras

Analog sources always use the Symphony Codec; you could never disable/enable it for them.

But the Symphony Codec is also required for blackout masks to work with network cameras. You enable the Symphony Codec for a network camera in the Manual Configuration Editor.

1. In Symphony Client, from the Server menu, select Manual Configuration Editor.
2. Click Add a new setting... The fields under the column headings are activated.
3. Enter the following information:

Type: Camera
ID: (the camera's ID)
Section: Camera
Key: Recompress
Value: 1  (whereby the default is 0, but set to 1 for the blackout masks to work)

4. Click OK.
