For occurring alarms in LiveMOS a sound can also be played. Store the sound under Play special sound on LiveMOS.

Possible video server and backup files connections are displayed under Connections. These can or can not be assigned to a profile by marking the connections check mark. With the selected profile only marked connections will be reachable in G-View.

In Scenes you can select the scenes that are to be assigned to the different profiles. The standard views are only displayed when the selection field Show standard matrix views is marked.

Under Multimonitor available windows can be assigned to the different profiles.
To do so, select a profile and additionally mark all windows in the displayed window list that are to be used with this profile.

Under Custom controls specific custom control can be assigned to a profile. Select a profile and mark all custom controls that are to be used with this profile.

General

Settings	Description
Expand server tree on connection	If Expand server tree on connection is marked, then a server's media channels will be displayed immediately on the video server list when a connection to a server is established.*
Disable Audio	Switches Audio off
Enable customized menus	Enable customized menus
Audio not synchronized as default	Audio not synchronized as a default

* For many servers it is advisable to arrange for the display not to show the media channels, since otherwise the video server list can become very long and difficult to understand.

Telecontrol

With Auto unsync Audio/Video the audio and video of the viewer synchronizes automatically after a unsynchronization in a definable period of time.

Audio Back Channel

Settings	Description
Enable audio back channel control	Enable audio back channel control
Shortcut key	Determine keyboard command

Display

Settings	Description
Default play mode on camera connect	You can choose here between streaming, the first image from the database, or the last image from the database.
Take position/playmode from previous viewer	Takes the position/playback mode from the previous viewer.

Options

Settings	Description
Use Direct3D-11 Rendering	Switching the renderer from DirectDraw to DirectX11. The Direct3D-11 Rendering setting is active by default.
Non blocking viewer synchronization	Switches to the date/time method for synchronized viewers during the search and thus enables a faster viewer response

Smooth Playback

With the help of Smooth Playback, database images can be played forward and backward by clicking on the Play button one or more times in a quick motion.

Settings	Description
Max. Forward Speed	setting for the maximum speed forward 1 stands for normal speed, 2 for twice as fast, 3 for three times as fast, etc.
Max. Backward Speed	setting for the maximum speed backward 1 stands for normal reverse speed, 2 for twice as fast, 3 for three times as fast, etc.
Step Width	integer increments (1,2,3, ...)

Example   The maximum forward speed was set to 2, the step width to 3. If the Play button is pressed in the viewer, the images from the database are played back normally. Clicking again doubles the speed (step 1), clicking again quadruples it (step 2) and clicking again changes playback speed to six times (step 3). Because only three steps were specified, the fourth click returns the system to the default setting (normal playback).

Note the following:
- Due to technical reasons, fast rewind can cause jerky pictures
- Switching to another playback mode will leave Smooth Playback
- No response about the actual playback speed takes place - For the speed settings, decimal values such as 1.2 or 1.8 can also be entered.

Previous Event / Next Event

If the option Jump to the beginning of prehistory instead of the event start time is activated, the buttons First Event and Last event in the control bar (see Event, Motion Search (MOS) and Section) jump to the time points of the prehistory instead of the event. If you press the Ctrl key, the buttons jump to the event times as usual.

If this option is deactivated, you can move to the prehistory times instead of the event times by pressing the Ctrl key.

Receive Viewer Actions

Use the Actions dialog to establish some of the base settings for handling actions:

Receive viewer actions

Actions	Description
Remote control	Accept viewer actions for the remote control of the program
Viewer client number	Number of the Viewer client for remote control

Send Notification Actions

Actions		Description
Alarm queue		Send actions in case of alarm list changes, confirmations and deletion
Image export		Send actions in case of export of pictures and sequences, when printing or copying to the clipboard
Viewer status		Send actions when connecting or disconnecting the viewer or when changing the playing mode
	... to participating server	Send to participating servers
	... as broadcast to all	Send as broadcast to all

If under Receive Viewer Actions you have activated the field Remote Control, the settings options under Alarm expand Remote alarm management.

Settings for fisheye dewarping (fisheye distortion correction)

In all viewers that are connected to a server, the camera movements are also controlled when fisheye dewarping is used, for example, when the connected MBEG actively controls the camera.

Because fisheye dewarping is a software feature that is or can also be applied retroactively to recorded client server data, these camera movements are not always desired by the remote control. With the help of the Ignore Remote PTZ switch, the remote control can be switched off.

Event text in viewer

For the selected profile, you need to establish which event text (name, description, data) should be displayed for the alarm in question.

Example In the example, alarm name, alarm message and the name, description and data of the event are displayed for all types of alarms.

Font of event text

Configure the event text position. Choose between centered, left-aligned and right-aligned

Color and fonts specifies the appearance of the viewer's surroundings. Under the points Border of viewer, Background of viewer and Font of viewer color and font settings can be made for the viewers.

When selecting colors, they can choose between the suggested colors and custom colors. To select or add custom colors, select Custom.... In the dialog window you can select a color or define a new one clicking on Define custom colors...

Export path

To create a fixed export path add a specific path under Export path.
The path indicates where exports should be placed. The user will then only receive a file name suggestion, which can be changed.

The file extension, and thus the format, can be chosen from the given selection. The preselected file extension for single frame export can be specified. Environment variables are expanded. GBF or MPEG format cannot be assigned.

Example Thus an entry such as "C:\Test\*.jpg" saves all exports in the c:\Test directory and selects JPEG.

Trace export

Trace export is only available in SCS mode. SCS mode can be activated in Options profile -> Application -> Main window.

 

Image export

Use Export Privacy: As long as this option is not active, the images are exported from the database as they are saved in the database (normal or masked, depending on the presetting). If the option is activated, masking is performed when an export is carried out.

DVD writer

When creating Video DVDs, you need at least 10 GB of free hard drive space. If the available space on the system partition is not sufficient, you must specify an alternate path for temporary storage. You can enter this path here.

GBF export

Enable locked export: If this function is activated, when viewed in G-View, an exported GBF file cannot be saved again as a GBF file.

Irremovable privacy zones: If this function is enabled, the privacy zone is permanently burned into the image. If it is not enabled, the privacy zone is only hidden again using a software mechanism when the GBF file is reloaded into G-View.
