multiple simultaneous clients

Post by florin »

What happens if multiple clients (say, browsers) watch the same camera? Will that overtax the CPU on the ZM machine?
I imagine some kind of resource usage will go up if there are multiple clients, but how much? Is encoding performed multiple times, once for each client?

Or rather, which tasks are performed only once regardless of the number of clients, and which tasks are performed once for each client? (if i knew the answer to this last question i wouldn't need answers to the previous ones)
