Channel dashboard

The <Viewer> tab gives you access to the channel dashboard, which lists all the video channel(s) to which you have been allowed access. Clicking the triangle at the upper-right of the “Channels” heading expands/contracts the “Channel” pane. For quick access to a particular video channel, click the checkbox beside the desired channel. Volicon Media Intelligence service will open that stream in the “Player” window.

The <Filter> feature at the top of the dashboard provides a quick way to restrict the channel display. Type in the desired channel name into the “Filter” text box. Volicon Media Intelligence service then displays only channels that match the string. You do not need to enter the entire channel name.

To set a favorite channel, hover over the <Favorite> icon to the right of the desired channel and left click to turn it gold . Left clicking toggles it back to grey. To restrict the dashboard to your favorites, click <Show favorites>.

The <Show only selected channels> feature works in a similar manner, restricting the dashboard to only selected channels. To select a channel, check the box to the left of the channel name.

The channel dashboard displays all the channels available to you. To display a video stream in the “Player” window, click the check(s) by the video stream names you wish to display. The Volicon Media Intelligence service will display your video streams in the “Player” window.

Volicon Media Intelligence service automatically adjusts for different aspect ratios and resizes player windows if multiple streams are selected. Audio is enabled on the first stream selected and disabled on subsequent streams. To enable audio on a different video stream, click on the desired <Player> window. The stream with active audio is indicated with a blue background in the channel dashboard, and the channel name changes from white to blue in the player.
