Now assume that in the Observer Online monitor you want to show adjacent cameras of this virtual
matrix in a 3x3 view . Whenever you double click any of the 50 cameras in any of the views in Observer
this camera is then positioned as the center of the 3x3 view and the adjacent cameras of the big matrix
are automatically positioned around it. In the example above you see how the 3x3 view would look
like if you would double click Cam24 and Cam18.
The Matrix view function is defined by XML files sitting on the server. The name of the XML files follows
the form
server.utils.CameraMatrixMapping.<action>.xml
. You start by downloading and
editing the file
server.utils.CameraMatrixMapping.sample.xml
. When you are done with editing
you upload the file under a specific name to the server.
20.4.1 Download the XML config file
You can access the XML file in a web browser from the server's web page:
1.
At the server's web page click on
Customizer login
to login to the Customizer area (the admin
password is needed for that).
2.
In the Customizer click on
Download configuration files
.
3.
In the list of files find and save
server.utils.CameraMatrixMapping.sample.xml
to your local
hard disk. You can do that by right clicking on the file and then choosing
Save link as...
from the
menu.
20.4.2 Edit the XML config file
Edit the file according to your needs. A detailed description about the function can be found in the
comment at the beginning of the file. When you are done with editing save the file under a file name
that reflects the trigger action for which you want to enable the Matrix view.
Possible trigger actions for the Matrix function and the corresponding XML file names are:
Trigger action
XML file name
