they will appear in brackets before camera names in the shortcut menu, as it the case in the
example illustration.
Sending Video between Views
You are able to send video from a selected camera position to another single-camera position in an
open view, including any views you may have open in floating windows or on secondary displays.
This feature is only available for single-camera positions; not for hotspots, carousels, or Matrix
positions.
To send video to another camera position in an open view, do the following:
1. Select the view that includes the camera from which you want to send video.
2. Right-click inside the required camera position; you now get access to a shortcut menu.
3. In the menu, first select Send Camera. Next, select the required destination view in the
first submenu, then select the required camera position in the second submenu.
If some of the camera positions listed on the second submenu are not selectable, it is because the
positions are either not in use or used for hotspots, carousels, or Matrix content.
Sending Video to Matrix Recipients
Matrix is a feature in selected Milestone surveillance systems only (see Surveillance System
Differences on page 100 for more information). It allows distributed viewing of video from any
surveillance system camera to any monitor (known as a Matrix recipient) on a network.
You can manually send video to a Matrix recipient. The ability to manually send video to a Matrix
recipient is only available for single-camera positions; not for hotspots or carousels. Also, it is only
available if Matrix has been configured on your surveillance system, and you have the required
user rights.
To send video to a Matrix recipient, do the following:
1. Select the required view.
2. Right-click inside the required camera position; you now get access to a shortcut menu.
3. In the menu, select Matrix, then the required Matrix recipient.

To browse recordings using the timeline browser, click inside the timeline browser, and
move your mouse up or down without releasing the mouse button.
