PiP (Picture-in-Picture)

PiP is an advanced function for user to simultaneously view a Global View and ROI (Region of Interest) for live monitoring, which is very useful while viewing high-megapixel video. The digital zoom in function can only focus on the interested area and represent the details of megapixel video. Moreover, the multi-touch mode is a user-friendly interface for user to easily digital zoom in a view with two fingers upon the multi-touch monitors.

E-map

VAST LiveClient supports intuitive E-map function which allows users to upload E-maps for overall devices management. The whole system architecture is thus visualized through e-map links.
