Virtual video capture devices don't support multistreaming mode. To ensure the correct operation of a virtual video capture device, including the option of displaying the video archive and archiving, you must disable the multistreaming mode (see Configuration of multistream Configuring the multistreaming video).

We don't recommend using a LAV Splitter to playback videos in the virtual video capture device. The FFDSHOW mediadecoder is preferable.

...

1. Set the Use virtual grabber checkbox (see The Settings panel of the Video subsystem section). Before that, shut down Axxon PSIM.
   
2. Create the Video capture device object on the Hardware tab.
3. Set the Virtual or Virtual bench type of the video capture device, depending on the type of the file that you want to use for imitation of the video signal.
   
4. Click the Apply button.
5. Create the Camera child object for the Video capture device object.

6. Specify the storage for the video that you want to use for video signal imitation in the Basic settings tab of the selected Camera object.
   

   Info
   title Note
   We don't recommend using videos compressed by the Wavelet codec, as their use significantly increases the load on the server.

7. Click the Apply button.
   If Axxon PSIM doesn't find files for playback within one minute after clicking the Apply button, the file search is interrupted.
   

   Note
   title Attention!
   The selected folder mustn't contain the video recordings of the Axxon PSIM internal format and AVI files at the same time. We recommend using one video recording and specifying the folder containing only the recording or the path to the file. If you need to use several video recordings, select the recordings with similar codec and resolution. This will help to avoid delays in Axxon PSIM work when switching between the recordings.
