Zoom the Viewing Area In and Out
You can zoom the video window in and out in four levels.
Each click zooms further in on the viewing area.
Each click zooms further out of the viewing area.
Note
• Select [Actual Size] from the [View] menu to return the view to
the actual size.
• You cannot zoom out further than the actual size.
Zoom a Region of the Video (Viewer PTZ)
You can zoom a region of the camera video in the video
window using Viewer PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom).
When the camera is fixed in position, you can use this
function to control PTZ in the viewer to zoom in on a region
of the video.
This function is available for live video and for recorded
video during playback.
„ Start Viewer PTZ
The Viewer PTZ panel appears.
A white frame appears around the selected video
window.
A preview frame (yellow) appears around the
specified region, and the video within the frame is
zoomed in and displayed in the video window.
When the video is displayed zoomed in, a zoom
icon appears in the bottom right corner of the video
window.
Note
• Viewer PTZ uses the digital zoom function, hence the quality of
the video decreases as the zoom ratio increases.
• Saving a snapshot image of the recorded video saves a
snapshot of the whole video, not the zoomed in region.
• Viewer PTZ can be used in up to five video windows
simultaneously. Using Viewer PTZ in additional windows after
reaching this limit will cause Viewer PTZ to be released from
other windows in sequence from oldest to most recent,
according to the PTZ history.
„ Change the Size of the Preview Frame
You can change the size of the preview frame by
dragging the preview frame lines.
Note
The preview frame has the same aspect ratio as the selected
video window.
„ Move the Preview Frame
You can move the preview frame to any position within the
video window.
Move by dragging
Click within the preview frame and then drag the frame,
placing it over the subject you want to display zoomed in.
Move by clicking
Click outside the preview frame, on the subject you wish
to display zoomed in, to move the center of the frame to
that position.
1 On the toolbar, click [+] next to [Zoom].
2 Click [-] to zoom out.
Important
The quality of the video in the video window decreases when
you zoom in. To increase the video quality, increase the
resolution (p. 63).
1 Click [Viewer PTZ] on the toolbar or on the camera
control panel.
2 Click the video window in which to use Viewer PTZ.
3 Specify the region you want to zoom by clicking or
dragging in the Viewer PTZ panel.
4 If also using Viewer PTZ in other video windows,
repeat steps 2 and 3 for each window.
