IP Matrix
The IP Matrix is designed to reduce trips to set up remote monitors. The

operator can remotely assign cameras to be displayed, set screen divisions,
start camera scan and etc. This feature is useful for TV wall control.
With the IP Matrix, the operator can manage up to 36 remote monitors,
each displaying one Matrix View. Including 8 monitors (Matrix Views) from
the local Control Center itself, the operator can monitor up to 44 monitors
(Matrix Views), with 4224 cameras ((96 x 8)+ (96 x 36)) in total over the
network. The IP Matrix application is illustrated as below.
For details on the Matrix view, see 4.11 Matrix View.
