Viewing images from your Matrox Iris GT
The View utility page of the Matrox Iris portal website provides a view utility to
view the image being grabbed. You can focus and examine the view of the smart
camera from a distance with the View utility page.
Many simultaneous connections to the View utility page are possible, but the total
amount of bandwidth available to Matrox Iris GT is limited and will be shared
by all active connections (for example, if two or more computers view the same
image simultaneously, the available bandwidth is divided evenly, providing the
maximum possible bandwidth to each computer).
❖ Note that the largest amount of bandwidth is consumed when the zoom is set
to 1. Matrox Iris GT sends only what is needed to keep the amount of bandwidth
used as low as possible. If the zoom is less than or greater than 1, the amount of
bandwidth consumed decreases.
On the first use of the View utility page, Microsoft Internet Explorer will try to
download and install an ActiveX display support tool from Matrox Iris GT. Once
downloaded and installed, you can select a display and view the image grabbed
from your Matrox Iris GT.
❖ Note to install anything in Microsoft Windows Vista, you must be logged into
the computer with a user account that has administration privileges.
To see the view from your Matrox Iris GT, perform the following:
1. Go to the View utility page of the Matrox Iris portal website.
2. Under the Display selection section, click on the Refresh list button.
