It is possible to set the following This page describes how to configure the parameters of the Monitor interface boxwindow:

1. screen coordinates and window size;
2. toolbar (displayed
3. Window position.
4. Window size.
5. Toolbar ( only in the List mode of camera’s windows displaying—see mode—see Configuring the display mode of camera windows section).;
6. Enable and disable displaying the number, name, time, menu and , camera frame as well as , and additional info on the camera in the Surveillance window windows on the Video surveillance monitor;
7. possibility of selecting cameras that you want to be displayed in the Surveillance window using a special menu in which cameras are grouped, and you can use a search.

To set the parameters of the Monitor interface boxwindow, do the following:

1. Go to theBasic settings tab on the settings panel for of the Monitor interface object.
   
2. In the Monitor drop-down list, select the monitor number in the operating system (computer monitor), the coordinates for which coordinates are to be must set further (1).
3. Set the position of the Monitor interface window in one of the following ways:
   1. Manually:

      1. Set coordinates of the left upper corner of the Monitor interface boxwindow: fields the X (horizontal indent from the left edge of the image) and Y (vertical indent from the upper edge of the image) fields (2). Coordinates are set in percentage relative to the screen size horizontally and vertically correspondingly.

      2. Set the dimensions size of the Monitor interface boxwindow:  the W (window’s width) and H (window’s height) fields (3). Sizes are set in percentage relative to the screen size horizontally and vertically correspondingly.

      3. To display a toolbar in the Monitor interface box window, you must set the switch to the List  group is to be switched in theposition on the Basic settings tab and then set the   Control panel check box is to be set checkbox (5).

         Info
         title Note
         If the toolbar is on, the window’s height height H is automatically equal to the window’s width W. The ability to You cannot set a width less than 20% is also disabled in this case: such setting is saved but not . Such a setting will be saved, but it won't be applied.

         
         

         Info
         title Note
         By manually setting the coordinates you can adjust the position of the Monitor interface box window on several monitors at the same time. This can be used when setting up a video wallvideowall. For example, if it is necessary to stretch one one Monitor window to two computer monitors, set X=0, Y=0, W=200, H=100. If it is necessary to stretch one Monitor window to four computer monitors, set X=0, Y=0, W=200, H=200.  Note that if there is one computer monitor, and X and Y coordinates are greater than 100 or width and height are greater than 100, the Monitor window will not be displayed on this single monitor or will be displayed incompletely.

         
         

         Note
         title Attention!
         When configuring video wall videowall using Windows, note that the load on video cards to which physical monitors for video wall videowall are connected will be distributed unevenly and cannot be regulated by Axxon PSIM. For an even load distribution on CPU and GPU, you should configure video wall using must configure videowall using NVIDIA® Mosaic™ technology and NVIDIA Quadro Sync device NVIDIA® Quadro® Sync device (see NVIDIA documentation).

         
         

   2. Using a test window:
      1. Click the X button (4).
      2. Place the opened test window Specify dimensions in a position where the Monitor window should must be displayed:
         
      3. Click the OK button. As a result, the coordinates in the X, Y, W, H fields will be set in accordance with the size and position of the test window.

4. If moving you want to move the Monitor interface box is to be enabledwindow, set the the Allow moving checkbox (6).

   Info
   title Note
   This setting is relevant only when the toolbar is in useused.

   
   

5. In the horizontal: and  and vertical: fields  fields of the Quad splitter group, enter the number of video surveillance Surveillance windows which will be displayed in the Monitor Video surveillance monitor in horizontal and vertical directions correspondingly (7). If one of these values is not isn't specified, then default grid of video surveillance of Surveillance windows depending on the selected layout is displayed on the Monitor Video surveillance monitor. The maximum number of video surveillance Surveillance windows vertically and horizontally is 64 and 64, respectively.

   Note

   Info
   title Note
   Fields in the Quad splitter group are inactive if the Alarm cameras mode is selected (see Configuring the display mode of camera windows).
   Info
   title	The Quad splitter settings will be ignored if the CycleByLayouts=1 key is set, which enables paging through layouts (see Registry keys reference guide).

6. If you want to save the ratio of the width and height of the video coming from the camera when displaying in the Surveillance window, then set the Keep camera ratio checkbox on the Basic settings tab (8). If the checkbox is set, there may be some empty space in the Surveillance window. If the checkbox is clear, the video fits the entire area of the Surveillance window while the ratio may be affected.

   Info
   title Note
   Necessity to use other window proportions can occur while working When you work with widescreen monitors, portrait-oriented monitors of portrait orientation or in any other cases. The Monitor<monitor_id>, it may be necessary to use other window proportions. For this, use the Monitor<monitor_id>_cw, monitor<monitormonitor<monitor_id>id>_ch, monitor<monitormonitor<monitor_id>id>_w43, monitor<monitormonitor<monitor_id>id>_h43 registry keys are used in these cases. Detailed information about these registry keys is given in the (see Registry keys reference guide).

   
   

7. Set the Smoothing checkbox to display video with greater resolution on which the ladder effect appears while whут displaying in the small window (9).

   Info
   title Note
   When using the smoothing function, the load on the CPU of the computer where the video is displayed increases significantly (up to 30%). As a result, if the computer does not have enough resources to use this function, the video display speed (fpsFPS) decreases, the response to telemetry commands slows down, etcand so on. So, this setting is recommended only for displaying video from analog cameras or low-resolution video. The function affects only displaying the video in the Video surveillance monitor. The original video stream from the camera is streamed to the archive and to detection tools.

8. By default, all elements of the Surveillance window (such as number, name, time, menu and camera frame, as well as the name of video Video surveillance monitor) are displayed except for additional info on the camera (see Additional information on camera). To disable displaying these elements, set the corresponding checkboxes clear (in the group 10).

   Info
   title Note
   These parameters were set using ShowName, ShowTime, ShowTitle, ShowBorder, ShowButtons and ShowID registry keys (see Registry keys reference guide) until Axxon PSIM version 4.10.1. The date can be displayed on the video next to the camera time if the ShowDate registry key is set.

   
   

9. In the Surveillance window you can switch between Cameras using the Camera submenu (see Selecting camera to display in Surveillance window). To have cameras grouped by Computer in this menu so that you can search among them, set the Select cameras with grouping and search checkbox (11).
10. To save all the changes, click the the Apply button (1112).

The parameters of the Monitor interface box window are now set.
