How to Manage the Virtual Matrix

Virtual Matrix is a very useful tool for multiple monitor display and management. Based on the
whole surveillance system architecture, it efficiently helps user construct a real-time live video
wall in the control center. Under a large-scale hierarchical system, through VAST LiveClient
you can only simultaneously monitor up to 64-CH on dual monitors; while Virtual Matrix offers
fully extension for numerous channels and screens, thus making VAST a very powerful central
management system. Moreover, you can change the layout to 2x2 or 3x3 on each monitor
to enlarge the video size, then display the video pages on saperate monitor for close-up
monitoring.

The architecture of VAST Matrix

As the following picture shows, the surveillance system architecture is composed of VAST LiveClient,
VAST Server with two sub-stations, and VAST Matrix separately on individual hosts. Before constructing
the Virtual Matrix, please install and run VAST Matrix Program on Matrix Recipient connected with the
video wall. Through the Virtual Matrix connection, you can use LiveClient to log in the root server to
remotely manage and display all the live view onto the video wall by easily drag-and-drop.
