Dell ThinOS 2211, 2208, and 2205 Administrator’s Guide

Configure the camera device

1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup > Peripherals.
   The Peripherals dialog box is displayed.
2. Click the Camera tab.
   By default, Optimize for CPU is enabled. The recommended settings for camera format, resolution, and FPS are automatically set. The default settings are format=RAW, resolution=320X240, and FPS=10.

   NOTE:Disable the Optimize for CPU option to customize the camera format, resolution, and FPS settings. Only the supported resolution and FPS of the connected camera is displayed in the drop-down list for resolution and frames per second. Increasing the resolution and FPS impacts the performance.
3. From the Device drop-down list, select a camera device that is connected to your thin client.
4. Click Preview.
   The camera is turned on and you can see yourself or whatever the camera is pointed at.
5. Click Stop to stop the camera preview.
6. Click OK to save your settings.
   NOTE:In the current release, only RAW format of camera is supported. MJPEG format is not supported. The switch camera function from ThinOS Peripherals > Camera works only in the ThinOS client. It does not work in the Citrix VDA.
   For Wyse 5470 and Wyse 5470 All-in-One thin clients, the integrated camera on the thin client does not support hardware encoding, so the performance is limited.

   For example, on the Wyse 5470 Thin Client with RTME-enabled, the camera performance on Skype for Business is limited to a maximum resolution of 640 x 360 using Dual-Core CPU configuration onboard camera, 960 x 540 using Quad-Core CPU configuration onboard camera, and 1280 x 720 if Logitech C930e camera is used.

   For information about supported cameras, see the Release Notes of your ThinOS version at www.dell.com/support.
