Displaying layouts on monitors

You can display layout on any hardware monitor of a Client. To do it, do the following:

  1. Click anywhere on the local Client monitor layout diagram on the Monitor Panel (see Monitor Panel).

    Note

    Client monitor management is regulated by the user rights (see Creating and configuring roles).

    Monitors expanded views will open.

    Note

    All connected Clients have the NetBiosName name.

    Note

    Each monitor has its unique ID number. To display the ID number of a monitor, click the button.

    The thumbnails may appear differently, depending on the status of the monitors in C-Werk.

    ThumbnailMonitor status

    		Active main monitor

    		Inactive main monitor

    		Non-distributed additional monitor

    		Inactive additional monitor

    		Active additional monitor

    Note

    The thumbnail of the monitors shows the currently open layout.

  2. To display the layout on the monitor, do the following:

    1. Click the + button on the non-distributed additional video monitor's thumbnail. The additional monitor becomes active, and the layout of the main monitor will be duplicated on it.

    2. Configure the layout of an additional monitor (see Configuring layouts). You can configure the layout of the additional monitor through the main monitor (the additional monitor must be active). Changes affect only the additional monitor; the layout of the main monitor is not changed.

    3. Click the main monitor's thumbnail. The additional monitor becomes inactive, and the original layout is displayed on the main monitor. If the additional monitor becomes inactive, editing of the layout does not affect it.

  3. To display a camera selected on the main monitor on the additional monitor, do the following:

    1. Click the button on the non-distributed additional video monitor. 

    2. Selecting a camera on the main monitor makes its video feed visible on the additional monitor.

The additional monitors are now configured.

Editing layouts

To edit a layout on an additional monitor, do the following:

  1. Activate the additional monitor (by clicking its thumbnail).
  2. Edit the layout.
  3. Make the additional monitor inactive.

Selecting cameras to display on the layout

You can select the cameras that should be displayed on the main and additional monitor by dragging and dropping them:

  1. in the cell of the main or additional monitor diagram from the Objects Panel (see Objects Panel);

  2. in the cell of the main or additional monitor diagram using the camera icon from the interactive map (see Working with the interactive map);
  3. in the cell of the main or additional monitor diagram from the Camera Search Panel (see Camera Search Panel).

Similarly, you can drag and drop not only individual cameras, but also group of cameras, all cameras of the Server or Domain.

Note

The changes are saved only until you restart the Client. The next time you start the Client, the layout will have the original view.

Closing the layout of the additional monitor

You can close main and additional monitor separately. To close an additional monitor in C-Werk, click the button on its thumbnail.
