time in playback. The Time Line is variable using the Zoom function to provide fine or
coarse control over the timeline as needed. The Time Line is also moveable to center the
cursor in the viewing screen for better control.
1. The numbers at the beginning and the end of the time line describe the beginning and
the end time of the current time view. The timeline is variable so these numbers
change as you resize the timeline – see Zoom Function
2. End time.
3. The gray bar represents video that is available at that time.
4. The Tics under the gray bar represent the start of a fixed interval of time, which range
from seconds to hours. As you resize the Time Line their interval of time can change -
see Zoom function.
5. The cursor represents the current time of the selected video. Click and drag the cursor
to seek to any point of the clip.
Seek functionality
1. Double click on any part of the time line to seek to the closest video. If in Sync Play,
the seek will be applied to all playing screens.
2. Click and drag the cursor(s) to seek. Notice the exact time of the seek will be displayed
under the cursor. You can move the timeline itself with a simple click and drag to center
the cursor or explore parts of the timeline not visible in the viewing window - see Zoom
function.
Note: In a raw Mpeg4 .mpg file, the time line will span exactly 24 hours. Since there is no
index to accurately seek based on time, you can seek only by relative positioning.
For example, if you want to seek to approximately 50% of the file, double click on
12:00 spot on the time bar.
Zoom functionality
1. Click and drag the time line to change the view time. The Time Line is moveable to
center the cursor in the viewing screen for better control.
2. To zoom, hold down Right Click on your Mouse and use the Mouse Wheel. To zoom in,
Right Click + Mouse Wheel Up. To zoom out, Right Click + Mouse Wheel Down. The
Time Line is variable using the Zoom function to provide fine or coarse control over the
timeline as needed. Zoom to expand or contract the Time Line.
Help! The cursor is nowhere to be seen (See below).
This can occur if the playback time is outside of the zoomed time. When this happens, an
arrow will appear on either the right or left side of the time line. Click on the arrow to zoom
the time line in a window where the cursor is visible.
Status Bar
1. Time indicator - displays the current play time of the selected video. NOTE: This may be
inaccurate when playing raw recorded or exported .mpg files. The time will instead
indicate the date the file was created, and the number of seconds played so far.
2. DVR name - displays the name of the DVR the clip was recorded on, if available.
