Adjust the maximum number of items on a layout

What is the maximum number of resources that can be displayed in the viewing grid of the Desktop client?

Our Desktop client is allowing users to display up to 64 resources. To ensure an optimal user experience, the Desktop client incorporates Adaptive Scaling technology, which automatically adjusts the resolution of displayed items. This dynamic adjustment maintains the best possible user experience while effectively minimizing CPU usage.

NOTE: The limits regarding the number of resources per layout are predefined in our software and are generally recommended to remain unchanged. However, we understand that there may be specific cases where you wish to modify this value, provided you are fully aware of the potential impact. If you decide to proceed with adjusting this limit, please follow the instructions provided below.

How to change the maximum number of resources limitation:

Administrators can change the maximum number of items on a layout by changing the MaxSceneVideoItems value in the applications' configuration files.

For Windows:

1. Open Regedit
2. Go to:

   Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Network Optix\Network Optix HD Witness Client

3. Change maxSceneVideoItems
4. Save the changes and (re)start the Desktop Client

For Ubuntu

1. Go to

   /home/<username>/.config/Network Optix

2. With any text editor, open client configuration file Network Optix HD Witness Client.conf
3. Add a new line maxSceneVideoItems=X where X stands for the number of items you would like to place on the layout.
4. Save the changes and (re)start the Desktop Client
