Video is given priority over audio within the ETM software. Therefore, high fps settings may cause video to lag behind real-time and thus cause Audio to be choppy or not available at all.

• ETM-120-04CDRW receives compressed Audio data in G.723 format which slightly degrades the quality, but improves bandwidth usage.
• The ETM-120-09CDRW and ETM-120-16CDRW models transmit audio uncompressed.
