If it is necessary you want 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 window isn't displayed on this single one monitor or will be is displayed incompletely.

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

   2. Using a the test window:
      1. Click the X Image Added button (4).

The maximum number of Surveillance surveillance windows vertically and horizontally is 64 and 64, respectively.
   If you create several layouts, use the CycleByLayouts=1 parameter of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\AxxonSoft\PSIM\ registry key (see Registry keys reference guide) to enable the layouts slideshow.
