Using Tabs and Workspaces
A workspace is comprised of tabs; each tab consists of a layout populated with sources and plugins. You
can save your entire workspace or individual tabs for easy access later. Users with appropriate
permissions can even make their workspaces or tabs arrangements available to other users. The server
automatically saves your workspace when you log out, and recalls it when you log in again.
Using Tab View Options and Modes
For each tab, use the Mode and View menus to control the display.
Configuring Tab View Options
To update view options for a tab, select the tab (in the image above, the tab is named LinkedPTZ), click
View, and then select one or more of the following options:
l
(Optional) Select whether to display the tab in Full Screen mode--the tab controls and outer
borders vanish, maximizing the size of video and cells.
l
(Optional) Set the Max Video Quality within the tab. Unless the tab is in collaborative mode,
video quality settings affect video locally; they will not determine the behavior of a tab displayed on
another user’s workspace or a shared display.
–
Highest Available Quality sets the tab to behave normally; it will display the camera’s
primary stream when possible, as dictated by cell size and system resources.
–
Secondary Stream forces the tab to display a maximum video quality of secondary for all
cameras.
–
Tertiary Stream forces the tab to display a maximum video quality of tertiary for all cameras.
(The cameras can display tertiary or the highest available video quality below tertiary.)
–
D1 (720 x 480) displays video at 720 x 480 resolution.
–
SIF (352 x 240) displays video at 352 x 240 resolution.
–
JPEG Stream sets the tab to have all streams transcoded into JPEG frames. The rate of the
JPEG stream is dependent on network bandwidth and Media Gateway availability; this
setting can be stressful on your Media Gateway.
–
Thumbnails sets the tab to images that refresh roughly every 30 seconds, rather than video.
This mode uses few resources and significantly reduces the impact of the tab on your
workstation. Use this mode for large areas in which a low frame rate is still enough to capture
activity within the scene.
If necessary, the system will downgrade one or more video streams that are displayed in the cells.
When this happens, the orange downgraded stream icon ( ) is displayed to the right of View in
the tab task bar. Click the icon to allow the system to attempt to restore the initial video quality to
each cell.
l
(Optional)Click to select either Stretch video to fill cells or Maintain video aspect ratios,
whichever is not currently selected.
l
(Optional)Click to select either Collapse space between cells or Show space between cells,
whichever is not currently selected.
