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

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

    Note.

    Client monitor management falls under user rights (see Creating and configuring roles).

    Monitors expanded views open.

    Note

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

    The thumbnails may appear differently, depending on the status of the monitors in Axxon One.

    ThumbnailMonitor status

    		Active main monitor

    		Inactive main monitor

    		Unassigned additional monitor

    		Inactive additional monitor (video wall)

    		Active additional monitor (video wall)

    Note.

    The image of the monitors shows the currently open layout.

  2. To display the layout on the monitor, you have to:

    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 is duplicated to it.

    2. Set up a layout on an additional monitor (see the Configuring layouts section). 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 currently selected camera on the main monitor, do the following:

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

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

The additional monitors are now configured.

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.

You can change the set of cameras to be displayed on the main or additional monitor using the Objects Panel; these changes are not saved, and the initial layout is restored after rebooting the Client. To do it, follow the steps below:

  1. Open and lock the Monitor panel (see Monitor Panel).
  2. Open the Objects Panel (see Objects Panel).

  3. Using the Ctrl or Shift keys, select one or several cameras on the panel.

  4. Left-click on any selected camera.

  5. Drag the camera icon onto a desired cell on the main or additional monitor's layout diagram.

  6. Release the mouse button.

Note

The result of the object search is displayed on both the main and additional monitors.

Another way to move a video camera to the required cell on the layout diagram of the main or additional monitor, or between them is to grab the camera's icon on the interactive map (see Working with the interactive map) or on the object tree.

You can also move a group of cameras, all cameras from a Server or an Axxon-domain.

You can close main and additional monitor views separately. To close an additional monitor in Axxon One, click the button on its thumbnail.
