Click 'Enable' for each port that you want to enable

Once a port is enabled you have several options. Each camera can have the resolution independantly controlled. We currently support 704x480 and 352x240. Updating the Resolution and FPS will also update the 'Unused capacity', which is the total amount of frames per second that you have left on this card. Note, the current 16 port cards only support 120FPS @ 704x480, or 480FPS @ 352x240.

After that command is ran, restart the computer

To change the name of the camera, simply click on the current camera title (by default /dev/videoX) and type the name and hit enter
