Transcoding:One view with multiple cameras using transcoding, if more than one client is viewing the view does the server have to do 2 instances of the transcoding or just one instance for as many clients that are viewing the cameras?

If the camera is viewed in two views the server will send two streams and each of the streams are trans-coded. There are two trans-coding jobs if the camera is used twice.

It is very much recommended not to use server-side transcoding, try to see if you can avoid it completely.

If you like more information or advise on implementing ways to avoid the server-side trans-coding please add a little information..

Are you using Smart Clients or a MIP SDK based integration?

If doing development work with the MIP SDK, are you using the MIP Library or Image Server protocol? (Please outline how you get the video.)
