A light checkerboard pattern indicates that data has been requested for retrieval.
The timeline with dark checkerboard pattern where no recordings have been requested and therefore it is not known whether
there are recordings and the lighter checkerboard pattern where video has been requested for retrieval
Playback date and time
The area in the upper part of the timeline shows the playback time and date of the recordings in blue
The playback time is the time to which all the cameras are tied (except if you are in independent
playback mode). When you play back recordings, all video in the view will be from the same time.
Some cameras, however, may only record if motion is detected. Also, there may be no recorded video
from one or more cameras in the view matching the specified point in time. When this is the case, the
last image in the camera's database prior to the specified point in time will be displayed in the view,
and the image will be dimmed.
Date and time navigation
Click the Playback Date or Playback Time to open the Go to window, where you can select the date
and time that you want to go to. Double-clicking anywhere on the timeline moves it to that particular
time.
Time selection
Click Set Start/End Time to jump to a specific point in time, by specifying the date and time.
Clicking Time selection mode lets you select a period of time by dragging the start and end time
indicators on the timeline (typically when you are exporting video (see "XProtect format settings" on
page 142)). Click again to see the timeline with no time selected.
Playback Speed
The playback speed slider lets you change the current playback speed. Move the slider to the left, for
slow motion, and to the right for fast motion. Click 1x for normal speed.
