② FPS: Set recording frame rate. 1,2,3,7,10,15,30 are possible within 135fps

based on CIF. 2CIF is equivalent 2XCIF and D1 is equivalent 4 times
CIF. So there are many combinations under this rule. For example, if in
case that ch1 is 2fps/D1, ch2 is 5fps/2CIF and the others is 3fps/CIF ,

total frame number is 2x4 + 5X2 + 3X14 = 74. So it is valid. Another
useful function is that one channel sets to 30fps/D1 and the others set
to 1fps/CIF, total frame rate is 135. So it is also valid. You can check
the total number of frames in ‘Total’ .
