Milestone XProtect Smart Client 3.6; User’s Manual
Using Multiple Windows
The Smart Client supports use of multiple windows. This is especially useful if your computer has
more than one physical display attached, but even when your computer has only one display you
can send individual views to separate windows, while keeping the Smart Client’s main window in
the background. This way, you can watch more than one view at a time.
You can send views to separate displays or windows from the Smart Client’s Live tab as well as its
Browse tab.
Sending a View to Primary Display
Sending a view to Primary Display will show the view
in a separate full-screen window on your
computer’s main display.
The illustration to the right provides an example of a
view sent to the Primary Display. While you are
viewing the separate full screen window, the main
Smart Client window will be hidden behind it.
The separate full-screen window will only show the
selected view, none of the Live or Browse tab’s other
features, and it can only show one view at a time. Any
hotspots, carousels, Matrix positions, still images or
HTML pages included in the view will work as usual.
To send a view to Primary Display, do the following:
1. In the Live or Browse tab’s Views section, right-click the required view. This will bring up a
menu.
2. In the menu, select Send View To > Primary Display.
Sending a View to Secondary
Display
Sending a view to a Secondary Display will show the view
in a full-screen window on another physical display (if
available).
The other physical display will only show the selected v
none of the Live or Browse tab’s other features, and it can
only show one view at a time. Any hotspots, carousel
