It is also possible to click anywhere on the Timebar (the graded bar at the bottom of the
screen) to go directly to that position in the recording. The dates and times shown above
the Timebar show the approximate position in the recording. The slider control showing
the current position in the recording can also be dragged to a new location.
To skip to the beginning of the recording, click the button. To skip to the end, click the
button. These buttons are located at the very ends of the Timebar.
The playback speed can be adjusted by dragging the slider control shown below the
playback buttons.
Time Zoom
The Video Player also has a built-in feature that allows you to focus specifically on a
limited section of a recording - Time Zoom. This is very useful if you have a long
recording, but only wish to view a short sequence contained in it. Follow the procedure
described below to create a Time Zoom view from a recording.
1. On the Timebar, decrease the size of the playback area by dragging the slider and/or
the slider so that only the section of interest is shown in white. The rest of the
recording is now shown in gray. The area in white can be played in the same way as
described above for simple playback.
2. To zoom the selection so that it fills the whole of the Timebar, click the Zoom+
icon. The rest of the recording is now hidden from view.
3. Repeat the above procedure if you are not satisfied with the selection you have created.
4. To decrease the amount of space the selection occupies on the Timebar, click the
Zoom- icon. The parts of the recording that were previously hidden are now shown
in gray.
To return the recording to its original state, whereby the entire recording occupies all of
the Timebar, decrease the size of the selection on the Timebar by clicking the Zoom- icon.
If you have zoomed the recording several times, you must also decrease it several times.
Alarm Inputs
Each alarm input is indicated by an LED in the upper right corner of the player window.
When playback reaches a point in the recording where an alarm was triggered, this will be
indicated by the LED changing color to yellow.
