About Matrix
With Matrix, you can send video from any camera on a network operating your system to Matrix-
recipients. A Matrix recipient is a computer that can display Matrix-triggered video. There are two kinds
of Matrix recipients:

computers running a dedicated Matrix application and

computers running XProtect Smart Client.
To see a list of Matrix recipients configured in the Management Client, expand Client in the Site
Navigation pane, then select Matrix. A list of Matrix configurations is displayed in the Properties
pane.
Each Matrix recipient, regardless whether it is a computer with the Matrix Monitor or the XProtect
Smart Client, must be configured to receive Matrix-triggered video. See the Matrix Monitor and
XProtect Smart Client documentation for more information.
Add Matrix recipients
To add an existing Matrix recipient, for example an existing Matrix Monitor or XProtect Smart Client
installation, through the Management Client:
1. Expand Clients, then select Matrix.
2. Right-click Matrix Configurations and select Add Matrix.
3. Fill out the fields in the Add Matrix dialog box.
4. In the Address field enter the IP address or the host name of the required Matrix recipient.
5. In the Port field enter the port number used by the Matrix recipient installation. You can find
the port number and password in this way: For a Matrix Monitor application, go to the Matrix
Monitor Configuration dialog box. For XProtect Smart Client, see the separate Matrix Monitor
or XProtect Smart Client documentation.
6. Click OK.
You can now use the Matrix recipient in rules.
