Video display
The video display shows the video stream from the selected camera channel. See Camera channels for more information.
When the camera is correctly configured, the camera shows in the Test configuration Hardware panel. A dialog may show if the camera needs a reset to factory default. See Setting up an Axis network camera for more information.
NOTE
A video display may not show every frame and rotation.
In the Test configuration Hardware panel, click the eye icon by the camera channel for video display.
In the Test configuration Input channels panel, select the camera channel and click Digital Meter for video display. Freeze and Rotate buttons allow image control. The Rotate button temporarily overrides the channel editor Rotation setting for this display.
In the Test control panel, select the camera channel for video display in the Display Views panel. Change the size of the video display as desired, using the mouse cursor. An SIE test must be running to operate the Freeze and Rotate options. Rotate the image as desired during a test run. Click the Save button to use the rotated view in another test run.
- In the Header menu click User options and
Preferences. In the User Preferences dialog menu, select Charts. A checkbox by Maintain aspect ratio for video displays is selected by default. This default makes the aspect ratio (such as 4:3) remain the same when the size of the video display is changed.
- If the checkbox is not selected, the image in video displays may be distorted when the video display size is changed.
The following options are available from the menu:
- Freeze: Select to pause the video display. Deselect to resume live video.
- Rotate video: Click to rotate the video display counter-clockwise by degree increments supported by the video device. Please refer to video device manufacturer's documentation for video image rotation, which may be limited to 180 or 90 degree increments.
