Using Multiview

From the Monitor page, click on the <Multiview> icon on the left side of the screen. Scroll down to the desired room in the “Rooms management” pane. If there are a large number of rooms, use the <Search> feature to find the desired room.

Click the desired room to display the screens associated with that room. As an example, we click <UserGuide example>. Note the area around “UserGuide example” turns blue as a reminder that this is the room being displayed. Under each room name, the number of configured screens is displayed. “UserGuide example” has two screens: “UserGuide” and “TestScreen”. For the moment, ignore <Add screen>; that will be discussed later.

Displaying a screen

Hover over the desired screen – in this case we are selecting the one called <UserGuide> – and left click on the <Eyeball> icon. This opens the screen in a new tab on your browser.

The screen is configured to display three video thumbnail streams and several widgets.

Multiview thumbnails

The room can be configured to display multiple channel thumbnails. This is a low-resolution image along with any fault status.

To the left is the channel logo (if configured) and channel name. If there are any faults, they are identified in red.

Click <Inspect> at the top of the video thumbnail to open the Quarantine player. The Quarantine player supports most of the same features as the regular viewer. The player is always in live mode.

Using the Quarantine player to create a bookmark

To create a bookmark in one of the room screens, the screen must be configured with the Quarantine player.

Click <Inspect> on the desired video thumbnail to open the player. Creating bookmarks with the Quarantine player is similar to using the player in other Volicon Media Intelligence service sections. Mark the start and end time to create a new bookmark. This automatically creates a new bookmark in the bookmark section. The status bar at the top of the screen lets you know if the bookmark was created successfully. The bookmark is automatically titled “Quarantine_ [Channel Name] [Date] [Time]”.

Once a bookmark is created, you are able to view it under the <Bookmark> icon in any Volicon Media Intelligence service screen. From there, you can edit the bookmark and, if desired, change the name.
