this case, it should be the video area), and then release the mouse button. In each
layout, each channel is corresponding to one and only one displaying frame in the
video area, as shown in XFigure 3-26X. Therefore, the drag and drop from the channel
number to the displaying frame can be treated as “exchange of channels in the
displaying frames”. That means whatever video is on the newly selected channel will
replace the one on the current display frame. You can apply this criterion to exchange
the channels in different displaying frames. Let us assume the video of Channel 1 is
shown at display Frame X and the video of Channel 2 is shown at display Frame Y.
The channels associated with the dedicated display frames will be switched when you
drag and drop the video from display Frame X to display Frame Y and vice versa.
Also, you can move the channel from its original display frame to a vacant display
frame. All these functions can be performed by a single mouse operation “drag and
drop”. This makes it very convenient to customize the video display layout for
monitoring.
NOTE: Monitor will automatically associate newly added channel to empty frame of
each layout. So you will find that the channel is automaticaly shown in layout after
closing Camera Configuration dialog. But if you have manually changed the
association in one layout, the automation for that layout would be disabled. There is no
way to re-enable the automation.
