Notes:
•To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must set your web browser to allow
the AXIS Media Control (AMC) to be installed on your computer. AMC is required to use audio in
the AXIS 241SA and AXIS 241QA. AMC also provides an MPEG-4 decoder for viewing MPEG-4
video streams. This decoder is installed the first time an MPEG-4 video stream is accessed.
Please note that the product administrator may have disabled the installation of the decoder, as
a license is required for each instance. See page 32 for more information.
•If your workstation restricts the use of additional software components, the Axis video server
can be configured to use a Java applet for updating JPEG images. Please see the online help for
more information.

The Live View page

If your Axis video server has been customized to meet specific requirements, the buttons
and other items described below may or may not be displayed on the Live View page. The
following provides an overview of each available button:
The Output buttons control
an output directly from the
Live View page. These
buttons are configured
under Setup > Live View
Config > Layout.
The IV buttons are used to configure and view the status for the currently
running IV module (AXIS 242S IV only).
These buttons start/stop the Sequence Mode. This mode is created in Setup >
Live View Config > Sequence mode and automatically displays the view
from 2 or more video sources at set intervals.
To resize the displayed image, click the View Size buttons: half-size
(x ), full-size (x1), x2 or x4. This will not change the resolution of the
1
/2
image (not available in Sequence Mode).
The Video Format drop-down list allows the video format on the Live
View page to be temporarily changed.
From the Source list, select the desired video image(s). The list can
contain internal video sources, external video sources, or the Quad
Stream view (AXIS 241Q/QA only). The Quad Stream option displays
all four video images in one stream.
Pulse - click this button to activate the port
for a defined period of time, e.g. to switch on
a light for 20 seconds.
Active/Inactive - click these buttons to
manually start and stop a connected device,
e.g. switch a light on/off.
