Group Presets (not currently supported) 
 
A Group Preset carries its own ID, and is created from MPU955 Admin Console to 
include a list of camera-monitor connections.  An operator selecting a Group Preset is 
able to display a preset series of camera views over several monitors at one time.  Each 
camera-monitor connection must also include a camera-preset position. 
 
Group Presets must be carefully planned, keeping in mind that they may be used as 
elements of Group Sequences.  Keeping camera-monitor permissions in mind, configure 
several Group Presets using the same sets of monitors to enable the Group Sequences to 
run smoothly.

 GROUP PRESETS – Definition 
Field Data 
ID  Unique record number identifying a single Group Preset assembling several camera-
monitor pairs that an operator can view at one time.  MPU955 Admin Console assigns this 
ID as a Group Preset is added. 
MPU955 Admin Console automatically generates this number in consecutive order.  Upon 
adding Group Presets, the system will automatically assign the next available number. 
Component ID and sequence ID numbers are used primarily in the permission tabs to 
identify one component or sequence from another in row and column style.  Since logical 
and local numbers are not necessarily unique or consecutive, and the permission grids must 
be displayed as consecutive, unique numbers, MPU955 Admin Console generates these ID 
numbers.  1 to 256. 
Area Unique number identifying a Monitor Surveillance Area (MSA) comprised of an array of 
monitors and one or more keyboard controllers.  1 to 64. 
Click the Area button on the main window to view all components defined in a specific area.
Inserting a “0” indicates area 0.  This will disable the Area field in the OSD on the monitor.
The use of areas is restricted to values of 1 to 64.  Only use area “0” when no areas are 
needed within the entire system. 
Local Unique number assigned by an NSS administrator, enabling operators to address this 
particular monitor within an area.  1 to 9,999. 
Name Practical name to help an operator identify a Group Preset. 
Examples: FireX by flr.  CashReg by flr.  Alphanumeric, 16 characters. 
Set of Views Specify a set of camera (with preset position) and monitor pairs that will take place in a 
single shot.   
Camera ID number for a camera, previously configured, to be displayed in a step when a monitor 
tour is invoked.  1 to 8,192. 
CPreset Number identifying a preset position of the camera specified. 
0 to 64 (0 = no presets). 
Monitor ID number for the monitor that will display the specified camera preset position.  1 to 1,024.
  
						

							Configuration 
 
 
88  1.  To add a group preset, click the green Add Preset button 
 
The following panel will appear. 
 
 
 
MPU955 Admin Console will automatically assign the next available ID. 
 
2.  Fill in the area and local number 
 
3.  Give the group preset a descriptive name 
 
4.  Add camera to monitor pairs to the Set of View section by clicking on the ID 
numbers for each as needed  
 
Double-click on a camera and a monitor from the lists on the right.  It will automatically 
insert that camera and monitor ID in step one.  Double-clicking on another camera and 
monitor will automatically insert that camera and monitor ID into step 2, and so on. 
 
5.  Type a preset number associated with a specific camera in the CPreset 
column 
 
Enter a “0” to indicate no preset associated with that camera. 
 
To enter the same value in several steps, highlight desired cells using the click 
and drag method.  Type in a value and press the enter key.  All highlighted cells 
will be filled with the typed value. 
  
						

							Configuration 
 
 
89  6.  To add a step in the middle of a sequence, highlight a step and 
click the Insert View button  
 
A blank row will appear before the highlighted step. 
 
7.  To delete a step, highlight a step and click the Delete View 
button 
 
The entire row will be deleted. 
 
After adding all desired steps, click the green check mark to continue, or the red X to 
cancel 
 
Add, edit, delete, or replicate group presets as needed. 
 
When changing the area of an existing Group Preset, notice that all of the pre-
configured monitors are deleted.  This prevents an administrator from 
inadvertently having monitors of different areas in a single group preset.

Replicating a Group Preset Definition 
 
1.  Highlight a configured Group Preset ID and click the Replicate 
Preset button 
 
A confirmation message will appear asking “Are you sure you want to REPLICATE this 
Preset within this Area?” and explaining the replication rules: 
 
[1] Records will be generated according to ID. 
 
[2] ID will be incremented to the next available value. 
 
[3] Local # will be incremented from a specified base value you assign. 
 
[4] If a record already exists with a matching value for any of these unique fields, that 
Target assignment will be skipped. 
 
[5] All other record values will be identical to the Source record. 
 
2.  Click Yes to continue or No to cancel. 
 
 
 
The copy source is the highlighted Group Preset ID from where the subsequent Group 
Presets will be copied. 
 
3.  Enter the number of Group Presets to create in the Target Size box 
 
4.  Enter the starting base value for the logical ID number to begin incrementing 
from in the Base Values box 
 
5.  Click the green check mark to add the series of group presets, or click the 
red X to cancel 
 
After clicking the green check mark, a message will appear letting you know how many 
records were actually generated, indicating if any records were skipped.  See Note section 
of page 55.

 be overwritten. 
 
6.  To modify the replicated Group Presets, use the Edit Preset button 
 
The Other tab on the Group Presets window displays the Group Sequences associated 
with the selected Group Preset ID.

Group Sequences (not currently supported) 
  
Programmed in MPU955 Admin Console, a Group Sequence combines several group 
presets, separated by specific periods called dwells. 
 
Although an operator will call tour sequences or presets by local number within a specific 
area, an administrator can view these sequences by ID or area\local numbers within 
MPU955 Admin Console.

 GROUP SEQUENCES – Definition 
Field Data 
ID Unique record ID assigned by MPU955 Admin Console as a group sequence is added, in 
order to identify one programmed group of several group presets to the system. 
MPU955 Admin Console automatically generates this number in consecutive order.  Upon 
adding group sequences, the system will automatically assign the next available number.
