Multiple Windows Are Stored for Next Login
If you have created a multiple window setup for your views, the setup will be saved when you log
out of the Smart Client. The next time you log in, you will be asked if you want to use your
previous views again, including your multiple window setup.
Note, however, that this only applies if you log in to the Smart Client on the computer on which
you created your multiple window setup.
Unfortunately, you cannot log in to a Smart Client on another computer and expect to use your
multiple window setup on the other computer as well. The simple reason for this is that not all
computers have extra displays attached.
If you want to use multiple windows with the Smart Client on more than one computer, you must
therefore configure your multiple window setup on each computer.
Frequently Asked Questions about Multiple
Windows
How many secondary displays can I use? In the Smart Client there is no limitation as such.
However, the number of secondary displays you are able to use is likely to depend on your
hardware (display adapters, etc.) and your Windows version.
How do I close a view sent to Primary Display or a Secondary Display? In order to allow
the maximum possible viewing area, the blue top bar of a view sent to Primary Display or a
Secondary Display is hidden. To show the top bar, and get access to the Close button, simply move
your mouse pointer to the very top of the view.
I watch the same carousel in two different windows; why is it out of sync? A carousel
changes cameras at a specific interval, configured on the Setup tab. Example: With an interval of
10 seconds, the carousel will show Camera 1 for 10 seconds, then Camera 2 for 10 seconds, etc.
The timing begins when you start watching a view containing the carousel. When you later begin
watching the same carousel in another view, perhaps even in another window or another display,
the timing for that instance of the carousel begins. This is why the carousel appears to be out of
sync: in reality, you are watching two separate instances of the carousel.
