Use Custom Windows
Custom windows are windows defined by your system administrator. They can be used to
• view live and archived video,
• display an Internet browser,
• connect to a remote computer,
• display maps.
Custom windows that are used for viewing video are defined by the system administrator to display specific types of analog or digital video.
Depending on your system’s specific settings, you may be able to display more than one digital video window at a time. The number of digital
video windows that can be displayed at one time is limited by the size and type of images selected for viewing. Table B in Step 7, Define a
Canvas for Each VMX300(-E) Client Window provides an overview of the CPU workload and bandwidth amounts used for each type of video
stream (the video in a custom window).
To open a custom window, click View > Windows > [custom window name]. To close a custom window, click the X in the upper right corner, or
click the window, press Alt+Space Bar, and select Close from the pop-up menu.
To load a particular type of content into a custom window (such as live video, archived video, or maps), the following conditions must be met:
• You must be logged in under a user group that permits you to access that type of content. Refer to Step 11, Add User Groups for more
information.
• The workspace must permit that type of content. If you have permission to work with workspaces, you can edit the workspace and set the
types of permitted content.
• To view live or archived video, the window must be configured for video on the server (by the system administrator).
VIEWING LIVE VIDEO
1. Click the desired window, and then press Alt+Space Bar. The Custom Window pop-up menu appears.
2. Select Live Video. The Live Video control bar appears above the display area.
If a device is switched to the window, a gadget will display in the window’s control bar. If no device is switched to the window,
“<< no controls available >>” appears in the control bar.
3. Switch the source of the video (generally a camera) into the custom window. The video appears in the display area and the source device’s
gadget displays in the window’s control bar.
NOTE: If you have permission to edit workspaces, you can open and close a custom window using the Edit Workspace option of the File
menu.
