Notes:
- Drivers and plug-ins provide additional support for various communication protocols, functions and expanded features. Many drivers have the ability to add one or more external connections (AIS, ADS-B receiver hardware, automation PLCs, etc.). In the community version, this is limited to 100 simulatanious connections or streams per driver and unlimited in the enterprise version. In general, the performance of a particular host computer will determin the actual limits (e.g. how many simultaneous streams the video analytics driver can support). Also, in many cases "unlimited" refers to the upper limit of the driver (e.g. 65536 connections) which is reasonable for any single installation.
