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.
