NAVIGATING VIEW PANELS

This section describes how to move between the DX8100 view panes and panels. This section includes the following topics:

•Navigating Between View Panels

•Expanding and Collapsing View Panes

•Manually Cycling Through Hidden View Panels

•Automatically Cycling Through View Panels

Navigating Between View Panels

The DX8100 allows you to monitor up to 36 channels: each channel is assigned to one pane within the view panel. If the 36-division display format is selected, all 36 panes occupy one panel. However, for single, 4-division, 9-division, 16-division, and 25-division display formats, the DX8100 displays the panes in multiple panels. In this case, to view all of the panes, you must cycle through multiple panels to display hidden panels.

•Channel: As pertains to video, one DX8100 camera port (input). The term channel is sometimes used interchangeably with camera.

•Camera: One external video device, such as a Spectra III™, that provides input video to the DX8100 DVR.

For example, if you select the single-division display format, one channel (video pane) fills the entire panel.

•The pane and panel represent the same amount of viewing area.

•In this case, there will be an additional 31 hidden panels (one pane equals one panel) through which to cycle.

Similarly, if you select the 4-division display format:

•Four panes (one camera/channel per pane) are displayed in the panel.

•In this case, 7 hidden panels (four cameras/channels per panel, or 4 x 7 = 28 panels), remain to be displayed.

The following figure shows how the DX8100 cycles through view panels, depending on the display format.
