Control interfaces

The TVR 30 has three control interfaces:

• Built-in interface

• Display interface

• Web browser interface

Built-in interface. The built-in interface is displayed on the monitor output. It consists

of a main menu and several dialog screens that let you configure and control the

device. You can invoke the built-in interface using the front panel, remote control, or

mouse.

Display interface. The display interface consists of various toolboxes that appear on

top of the monitor image. These let you control live or playback video while in PTZ or

playback mode. You can invoke the display interface from the built-in interface

screens or from the mouse toolbar. The controls in any toolbox can be operated

using the front panel, remote control, and mouse.

Web browser. The Web browser interface uses Internet Explorer to simulate the

display and control functions of the VGA monitor on a remote PC. The Web browser

interface can only be accessed by a PC with Internet access. See Chapter 5 “Using the

Web browser” on page 39 for more information on the Web browser interface.
