Action: Set to / Exit Fullscreen

What are the Exit Fullscreen / Set to Fullscreen Actions?

Nx Witness has the ability to allow operators to automate entering and exiting fullscreen mode for a camera on a Layout.

• Set to Fullscreen - an action that will cause the Nx Desktop client to display one camera /stream in full screen mode.
• Exit Fullscreen - an action that will cause the Nx Desktop client to return to the full Layout.

It's a great way to remotely control clients in Video Wall mode, to alert groups of operators to an video they should be paying attention to, or to set up alarm pop-up functionality on a Layout or Layouts with multiple cameras, each going full screen based on programmed Events.

1. Right click on the camera (in the Resource Panel or Viewing Grid) and select Camera Rules to open the Event Rules Dialog.
