Controlling Playback Video with Digital PTZ:
Cameras can be controlled during playback using the digital PTZ camera control in the same way as the Live
Viewer. Because digital PTZ controls movement within the image, it can be used for both live and playback
video. The digital PTZ controls will work for every camera that is loaded for playback regardless of the camera
control type specified in the settings. The digital PTZ control works in single-screen, multi-screen, zoom-
screen, and full-screen mode.
