The Barco CMS plugin integrates the Barco Control Room Management Suite (CMS) with Security Center.
You can use the plugin to do the following:
- Connect to a Barco CMS server to control and modify a Barco display (video wall) using the Barco CMS task in Security Desk. Changes are automatically shown to other users monitoring that display.
- Drag and drop live video sources and camera sequences from Security Center to a Perspective or a display.
- Add and remove Perspectives from a display.
- Create new Perspectives and modify existing ones.
- Modify the grid layout of sources (camera or camera sequence) in a Perspective and in a display.
- Lock Perspectives so they cannot be modified.
- Block and unblock cameras.
- Configure users to manage specific displays.
- Configure user privileges so that certain users can only perform specific actions, such as locking a Perspective.
- Add, modify, and delete Decorators on sources.
- Add, modify, and delete decorator templates.
- Support failover.
- Report configuration changes performed by users through the Barco CMS task.
NOTE: In order to transmit video streams to a Barco display, a multicast network is
required.
The multicast stream is sent to the Barco CMS server directly from the encoder, from the Archiver, or the Redirector depending on the configuration.
