This color-inverted region will be the new time period the program is going to

display. If you change your mind and don°t want to see that period, you can

cancel it by just pressing the right button of your mouse with the left button still

pressed. If you click on the left button without dragging it, the action will be the

same as clicking on the

Pull Bar

in the same x-axis position. The dark regions

mean there is no video data in that interval. If you click on those regions, nothing

will happen except a warning message.

Preview (Multiple Frame) Mode

You can enter the preview mode only when you change the playback method

selector to

Events Preview

. Preview Mode helps you to identify the objects

triggering the events via not only the time information and the alert percentage,

but also the video preview playing. This allows you to easily examine different

alert situations. Under the

Preview Mode

, the

Pull Bar,

Transducer button

in

Exporting Toolbox

, and the

Display Adjustment Toolbox

are all disabled.

The two labels under the pull bar show the displayed event number and the

total event count individually. There are nine frames in the display area and

these are referred to as ±one page². Each frame displays a 10-second interval

video sequence that contains different events. You can use the

Page Up

and

Page Down

button in the page control to browse the events in the selected

period with nine events per page. And the page status tells you the current

page number and total page count as shown below:

Histogram Area

The

Histogram Area

in the

Preview Mode

displays events that occurred

previously as red bars, which represent the time and value of the event. Currently

displayed events are represented by green bars and the selected event with

blue bars. If you want to access the histogram area, you must change the

Area

Selection Indicator

to the

Histogram Area

. You can select a color-inverted

region by dragging your mouse with the left button pressed.

When you release the left button, the color-inverted region will be enlarged to

the whole

Histogram Area

. This color-inverted region will be the new period

the program is going to display. If you change your mind and don°t want to see

that period, you can cancel it by just pressing the right button of your mouse

with the left button

still pressed. If you click on the left button without dragging

it, the display area will show the event page closest to the point you select. The

dark region means there is no video sequence in that interval. If you click on

these dark regions a warning dialog will appear to inform there is no video

sequence available.

Location Selector

The location selector is a control that lets you select the camera you want to

see. The location information is the same as the location specified in the monitor

program (see

Global Settings

in the

Monitor

program section). If there is

more than one database in the same location, another dialog will appear (see

below). You must select an interval in that dialog. The

Playback

program will

automatically switch to that camera and start displaying.

provides a precise way to choose the start time and the end

time of a new period. The end time must be later than the start time. After you

give the correct start and end time, clicking on the

Play

button in the jog dial will

play the new period in the Display Area. If you change the period start and end

time label, the

Pull Bar

and

Histogram Area

will change, too. If the selected

period is not present in the database, the data in the

Period Selector

will

change to the previous correct start and end time and a warning message will

be displayed.

Playback Method Selector

Full Range

If you select this method, the database will be displayed from the beginning

to the end of this location. Any change in the period selector will take no

effect unless you change this selector to

Time Period

.

, you can modify the

start and end time in the period selector. When you click on the

Since the program will record the previous start and end time in

Time Period

and

Events Preview

mode. Any time you want to change the period selector

to see another period, you must change the

Playback Method Selector

to the

mode you want to use first. Otherwise, the Period Selector will revert back to

the previous data used in

Playback Method Selector

.

Alert Area Selector

In the

Preview Mode

, the

Playback

program only can show the event

information of one alert window at a time. If you want to see the events of the

other two alert area windows, you must change the alert area selector to other

alert window numbers. In the normal display mode, the alert window that the

alert area selector indicates will be highlighted with red rectangle if you checked

that window in the settings dialog. The alert area selector will be changed to

alert window zero, when you change the location selector to another one.

Play Control

For the play control, a

jog dial is used to provide the easiest way to control the

displaying video sequence. Except the

Play

button, all other buttons can control

the displaying frame in the normal display mode and the selected displaying

frame in the

Preview mode

.

Play

The

Play

button is an intelligent play interface. The function of this button

will vary depending on differing circumstances. In the normal display mode,

clicking on the

Play

button can restart the displaying video sequence. When

in the

Preview Mode

, if you don°t change the data of

Period Selector

,

clicking on this button only restarts the selected displaying frame. If the

data of the period selector has been changed, clicking on the

Play

button

will restart all frames to display the first nine events in the new period.
