Issue

RZ-UDP interfaces installed in RZ's with the specified serial numbers are unable to stream more than 180 channels without special data handling in the RPvdsEx circuit.

Contact Support if you need assistance implementing the workaround.

Solution

This limitation has been corrected for devices with the serial numbers listed above or greater. The correction can be implemented on older devices, but it must be implemented at the factory. Request an RMA from Support.
