NumParallel

The maximum number of threads to use for running the object classification task.

If you are processing video with IngestRate=1, using more threads means that Media Server can process a greater number of frames. This can increase classification accuracy because Media Server can run classification on multiple images.

If you are processing video with IngestRate=0, using more threads means that Media Server can complete processing the video in less time.

Note: The number of process actions that you can run simultaneously is determined by the parameter MaximumThreads (or Threads if you run the actions synchronously). NumParallel specifies the maximum number of threads to use for an object classification task that runs as part of a process action. Be aware that if you increase the value of NumParallel, Media Server can use many threads.

Note: When you use a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifier, Media Server can use a maximum of one thread to complete the object classification task. With CNN classifiers, multiple classification tasks run in parallel only if they use different classifiers.
