Video panels

A video panel displays live or recorded video, and captured images from a camera or other devices. In the Live window, you can use the Layout icons on the toolbar to change the layout of the video panels. When you select a layout from the toolbar, the system automatically populates the video panels with the cameras in the navigation tree. This layout also becomes the default layout for the video panels. The available Layout icons vary depending on the number of cameras you connect and the width of the exacqVision client window. To create a custom layout, see Creating a custom video panel layout. For information on the functions of video panels, see the following table.
