The Secondary Window

The Secondary Window displays live or recorded video for the currently selected camera. The name of the currently selected view in the Primary Window appears on the Status Bar. The following screenshot shows the Secondary Window, with its four default panels outlined in gray:

When you hover your cursor over the Status Bar at the top of the screen, the Video Control ribbon appears, as shown in the following screenshot:

The following table describes the functions of the ribbon buttons:

Video Control Ribbon
Button	Function
Multi-screen Layout Buttons	Allows you to control the number and layout of video windows displayed in the Video tab.
Expand Video Tab Button	Allows you to expand the Video tab to occupy the entire Secondary Window.
Investigation View	Provides a layout for investigation query with footage snapshots (still images) from one camera over a designated time period on 16 screens, allowing you to do a rapid search for scene changes.
Video Configuration Buttons	Allows you to play video for specified times prior to live and for specific dates and times; allows you to capture snapshots of onscreen moments and configure settings such as on-screen display.
User Layout Buttons	Allows you to edit and manage your video layouts.

The upper left panel contains the Video tab, with the Video tab playback window (or Video Window) showing live or recorded footage. The lower left panel contains the Video Control tab. The upper right panel contains the Cameras tab and the Time Slider tab. The lower right panel contains the Clip Basket tab and the Camera Control tab.

In the Secondary Window, as in the Primary Window, you can rearrange tabs by dragging and dropping them, and you can resize panels by dragging them.

It is also possible to make some panels more prominent. The Cameras and Monitors tabs can be moved so that they are displayed in a more central position. To do this, go to Setup -> System Setup -> Advanced Configuration -> Central Configuration Settings and use the settings baseButtonsX and baseButtonsY to adjust the position of the buttons.
