DW Spectrum User Manual

The zoom window feature lets you select a rectangular region in an item's display to instantly open that selected region as a new zoomed-in item on the current layout. You can create as many zoom regions as you like on a given item, and a zoom region can be moved from one camera to another in the same layout. Zoom windows are saved with the layout. Zoom windows can be especially helpful for viewing fish-eye camera output (see "Dewarping Fish-Eye Cameras").

Note: Zoom windows will set the camera's resolution to high.

Zoom regions on the source camera are editable. Click-and-drag inside a zoom region to reposition it, and click-and-drag on the zoom region outline to adjust its size. The related zoom window will adjust dynamically adjust.

Closing a zoom window deletes the zoom region on the source item.
