Zoneminder displaying the same camera over multiple inputs

Often Zoneminder users experience problems with cameras being displayed over multiple inputs. This is typically found on cards that share (multiplex) BT878 chips. To solve this problem set MAX_FPS to a low number, typically a number between 2 and 5 on each video monitor inside Zoneminder. 

Note: When sharing ports all shared ports have to be the same resolution / color palette. 

Then change CAPTURES_PER_FRAME in the options menu to 2.
