Full Screen

When you click on the “Full Screen” button, the video sequence will be enlarged to the whole screen instantly. You can double click on any place or the “ESC” key to return back to the normal screen. When you switch to the full screen display, you can press the “Alt” and “Space” keys together to pop the jog dial to control the displaying video sequence. Press the same keys again to close the jog dial. You can also press the “Alt” and “Enter” keys together to switch between the normal display and full screen display at any time when the program is under the normal display mode.

Searching Range Adjustment Toolbox

When you move the mouse cursor to the alert histogram area, the display adjustment toolbox will change to a range adjustment toolbox. The range adjustment toolbox provides a faster way to change the range of the displayed time period. By using this toolbox, you can browse the database of one location from any 10-second interval of the entire range. The figure below shows the searching range adjustment toolbox composed of its own three elements, i.e. “Zoom In”, “Zoom Out”, and “Full Range.”

Zoom In

Each time you click on the “Zoom In” button in the searching range adjustment toolbox, the displayed time period will be half in the center of the original time period until the period is equal to 10 seconds. You can see the new interval in more details. The scale of pull bar and alert histogram window change. The period start and end time change as well. The period selector will show the new start and end time. The display area will restart and display the new period from the newly defined start time.
