Adding Items to Layouts
More than one Item can be added to Layout at a time regardless of their source (live cameras, local video,
images, etc.). DW Spectrum allows 24 Items to be displayed on the x86 architecture and 64 Items – on x64.
IMPORTANT. Viewers cannot add Items to predefined Layouts. They can only open and add Items to
new Tabs. Also it is not possible to add cameras to Locked Layouts.
To add Item(s) to Layout, choose from one of the following:
Double-Click on the Item in Resource Tree
Invoke Context Menu in Resource Tree and select Open. Multiple items can be selected and added
(Ctrl + Shift and select the desired Items).
Drag and drop from Resource Tree
Ctrl + Drag and Drop items onto Scene – duplicates Item(s).To avoid duplication, release Ctrl and hit
Esc, while holding the left mouse button.
IMPORTANT. Hold Ctrl or use the mouse to draw a selection of multiple Items on Scene. To select
all Items on Scene, use Ctrl + A. Refer to “Selecting Items” for more information.
Open Local file(s) or Folder – they will be added to the current layout (see “Opening Local Files
Outside of Media Folders”)
