Installing and Using the Camera Utility

Viewing Area

The viewing area takes up most of the LiveView window. The viewing area can have four different layouts, with video windows for one, four, six, or nine Cameras. The layout is selected using the video layout controls described in “Video Layout’” below.

Viewing Area - Single-Camera Display

Viewing Area - Four-Camera Display

Viewing Area - Six-Camera Display

Viewing Area - Nine-Camera Display

Multiple-Camera Layouts

In a multiple-Camera layout, one of the video windows is always outlined in green. This indicates the currently selected Camera. The Controls section can be used to perform various functions on the video from this Camera. For information on the video control buttons, refer to “Controls” below.

The name of each Camera is overlaid on that Camera’s video window. To specify a different Camera than the selected Camera, click on that Camera’s video window.

Each Camera can be displayed using any of the video windows in the layout. To move a Camera from one video window to another, click and drag the Camera’s video window to another video window. The two Cameras originally assigned to each of the two windows will then swap places. This is especially useful for the six-Camera layout, which has one large video window and five smaller ones. A Camera assigned to one of the smaller windows can be quickly enlarged by dragging it to the large window.

To quickly view any Camera’s video at full scale, double- click that Camera’s video window. The layout will change to a single-camera display of the selected Camera’s video.
