Panes Overview
The Management Client window may contain up to four panes.
1. Site Navigation Pane and Federated Sites Hierarchy Pane (see "Site Navigation Pane and Federated
Hierarchy Pane" on page 34)
2. Overview Pane (on page 36)
3. Properties Pane (on page 36)
4. Preview Pane (on page 36)
The illustration outlines the Management Client window's default layout; the window layout can be customized (see
"Customize the Management Client's Layout" on page 41), and may therefore be different on your computer.
Menu and Tool Bars
Provide quick access to often-used features.
Overview Pane
Provides an overview of the item you have selected in the navigation pane, typically in the form of a detailed list.
Selecting a particular item in the overview pane will typically display the item's properties in the properties pane.
Right-clicking items in the overview pane gives you access to management features.
Preview Pane
Displays preview images from selected cameras or state information from selected microphones, speakers, inputs
and outputs. The example to the left shows a camera preview image with information about the resolution and data
rate of the camera's live stream.
Tip:
By default, information shown with camera preview images will concern live streams (shown in green text). If you
want recording stream information instead (shown in red text), select
View
>
Show Recording Streams
from the
Management Client's menu.
You will see the preview pane when you deal with recording servers and devices. You can toggle the preview pane on
and off in the
View
menu. To resize the preview pane, drag its borders. The larger the preview pane, the larger
preview images and state information will appear.
Tip:
Performance can be affected if the preview pane displays preview images from many cameras at a high frame
rate. To control the number of preview images, and their frame rate, select
Options
>
General
from the
Tools
menu.
Properties Pane
Displays properties of the item selected in the overview pane. In many cases, properties are displayed across a
number of tabs:
