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

         Info
         title Note.
         If the coordinates are set in such a way that the interface window will not be displayed on any connected computer monitor (for example, coordinates greater than 100 when only one monitor is connected), then corresponding warning is displayed when you click Apply. Such change of coordinates will not be applied. Image Removed

         Set the dimensions of the Monitor interface box: W (window’s width) and H (window’s

         , respectively.

      2. Set the size of the Monitor window: the W (window width) and H (window height) fields (3). Sizes are set in Dimensions are expressed as a percentage relative to the screen size horizontally and vertically correspondingly, respectively.

         By manually setting the coordinates, you can adjust the position of the Monitor interface window on several monitors at the same time. You can use it when setting up the video wall. For example, if you want to stretch one Monitor window to two computer monitors, you must set X=0, Y=0, W=200, H=100. If 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 isn't displayed on this one monitor or is displayed incompletely.

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

   2. Using the Using a test window:
      1. Click the X Image Added button (4).
      2. Place the opened test window Specify dimensions in a test window in the position where the Monitor window should must be displayed:

   Necessity to use other window proportions can occur while working When you work with widescreen monitors, monitors of portrait orientation portrait-oriented monitors, 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 (9) to display the video with greater of great resolution on which the ladder effect appears while displaying when it is displayed in the small window (9).

   Info
   title Note.
   When using you use 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 lacks the resources to use this function, the video display speed (fpsFPS) decreasescan decrease, the response to telemetry commands slows down, etc. So, and so on. Due to this, we recommend using this setting is recommended only for displaying video from analog cameras or the low-resolution video. The function affects only displaying the video display in the Video video surveillance monitor. The original video stream from the camera is streamed comes to the archive and to detection toolsdetectors.
