AXIS 240Q - Using the video server

Notes: Notes: •To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must set your web browser to

allow the AXIS Media Control (AMC) to be installed on your computer. AMC is required to use

audio in the AXIS 241SA, AXIS 241QA and AXIS 243SA. AMC also provides an MPEG-4 decoder

for viewing MPEG-4 video streams. This decoder is installed the first time an MPEG-4 video

stream is accessed. Please note that the product administrator may have disabled the installa-

tion of the decoder, as a license is required for each instance. See page 31 for more information.

•If your workstation restricts the use of additional software components, the AXIS 240Q can be

configured to use a Java applet for updating JPEG images. Please see the online help for more

information.

•When using a browser other than Microsoft Internet Explorer with AMC, instead of a stop, a

snapshot and a full screen button, there is a stop and a play button in the bottom left corner of

the live view page. For a description of these buttons see The Live View page, below.

The Live View page

If the AXIS 240Q has been customized, the buttons and other items described below will be

displayed accordingly on the Live View page. The following provides an overview of each

button:

The Video Format drop-down list allows the video format on the Live

View page to be temporarily changed.

Pulse - click this button to activate the port

for a defined period of time, e.g. to switch on

a light for 20 seconds.

Active/Inactive - click these buttons to

manually start and stop a connected device,

e.g. switch a light on/off.

The Output buttons control

an output directly from the

Live View page. These

buttons are configured

under Setup > Live View

Config > Layout.

These buttons start/stop the Sequence Mode. This mode is created in Setup >

Live View Config > Sequence mode and automatically displays the view

from 2 or more video sources at set intervals.

From the Source list, select the desired video image(s). The list can

contain internal video sources, external video sources, or the Quad

Stream view. The Quad Stream option displays all four video images

in one stream.

The Action buttons trigger an event directly from the Live View page. These

buttons are configured under Setup > Live View Config > Layout. Click these

buttons to manually start and stop events.
