•
Displaying maps

the client. Refer to Canvases for more information.
You can configure custom windows so that more than one client can view a particular window, simply by giving the window the same name and
script tag on each client. Any action affecting the window that is executed automatically by a script will affect that window on every client that
runs the script. Anything done manually by an operator, such as dragging a camera to a window, will not affect any other operator’s window.

For example, suppose you want to alert several different operators when an exit door is opened. First, create a recipient group and make the
operators members of the group. Now create an alarm/event category that simultaneously sends notification to each member of that recipient
group. Finally, define an alarm belonging to that category with an On Event script that loads live video of the exit area into a particular window
that is defined on each operator’s client. When the alarm is triggered, the script will automatically load the video in the window of each recipient
operator who is logged in at the time.

HOW MANY CUSTOM WINDOWS TO CONFIGURE
The number of custom windows that you need to configure will vary based on your specific system parameters. In general, configure as many
custom windows as you want the operator using this client to view at any one time.
custom windows as you want the operator using this client to view at any one time.
For example, a total of nine custom windows are required for an operator to view the following types of content at one time:
•
A map (operators can view maps in custom windows as well as in the viewport)
•
A web page
•
Three analog video streams
•
Four digital video streams
Note, however, that your specific system parameters will limit the number of digital video streams that an operator can view at any one time.
Refer to Table B in the How to Choose the Video Stream Settings for Your Configuration section for an overview of the maximum number of
streams recommended for specific digital settings.
