Group Presets
 
A Group Preset carries its own ID, and is created from the 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.  With a focus on camera-
monitor permissions, configure several Group Presets using the same sets
of monitors to enable the Group Sequences to run smoothly.
DEFINITION
Add, edit, delete, and replicate Group Presets, as necessary, using the four
buttons at the bottom of this window.

G R O U P PR ESETS – D efinition
Field D ata
ID Unique record number identifying a single Group Preset
assembling several camera-monitor pairs that an operator
can view at one time.  The Admin Console assigns this ID
as a Group Preset is added.
The 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, the Admin Console
generates these ID numbers.  1 to 256.
AreaUnique number identifying a Monitor Surveillance Area
(MSA) comprised of an array of monitors and one or more
keyboard controllers.  1 to 128.
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.
It is recommended that the use of areas be restricted to
values of 1 to 128.  Only use area “0” when no areas are
needed within the entire system.
LocalUnique number assigned by an SCS administrator,
enabling operators to address this particular monitor
within an area.  1 to 9,999.
NamePractical name to help an operator identify a Group
Preset.
Examples: FireX by flr.  CashReg by flr.  Alphanumeric,
16 characters.
Set of ViewsSpecify a set of camera (with preset position) and monitor
pairs that will take place in a single shot.
CameraID number for a camera, previously configured, to be
displayed in a step when a monitor tour is invoked.  1 to
8,192.
CPresetNumber identifying a preset position of the camera
specified.
0 to 64.
MonitorID number for the monitor that will display the specified
camera preset position.  1 to 1,024.

Group Sequences
 
Programmed in the 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
and area\local numbers within the Admin Console.
