Viewing Live Video
XX185-30 Rev 807 Kollector Lite
Step 1: Selecting the Display Mode
Selecting the display mode enables you to determine the maximum number of video display locations for
viewing live video at one time in the
Video Display
area of the
Main
window.
Various display modes are provided to accommodate your viewing requirements, as described in the
selection procedure, below.
You can modify the display mode after beginning to view the live video, if required. For example, if you

locations without affecting the current video that you are currently viewing.
