Basic Operation 29
Expanding and Refreshing Your Viewer
By default, there are three buttons that display on the Viewer toolbar that allow you to adjust
the Viewer display. The first button allows you to set the Viewer to Single Cursor Mode. This
allows you to use the mouse in the Viewer as if it was the mouse on the server. When the Viewer
is set to Single Cursor mode the local cursor is not displayed.
NOTE: Single Cursor mode operates on Windows platforms only.
The second button allows you to align the mouse cursors, the third allows you to refresh the
video.
