Matrix (configuration)

Add Matrix to views

To be able to send live video to a MatrixA product integrated into some surveillance systems, which enables the control of live camera views on remote computers for distributed viewing. Computers on which you can view Matrix-triggered video are known as Matrix-recipients.-recipient, first you must add the Matrix item to a view. Only from within the view, can the operator send the video to a Matrix-recipient.

In setup mode, in the System overview pane, drag the Matrix element to the view item where you want to add Matrix content. A blue border appears indicating that the view item has Matrix content.
When you select a view item with Matrix content, you can specify its properties in the Properties pane.
When viewing live or recorded video, you can double-click a view item with Matrix content (or any view item with a camera) to maximize it. When maximized, video from cameras in the view item with Matrix content is displayed in full quality by default, regardless of your image quality selection. If you want to make sure that the selected image quality also applies when maximized, select Keep when maximized.
Repeat for each view item with Matrix content you want to add.
