About the Video Multistream Pane widget
The Video Multistream Pane widget is available in the videoDriver palette Px folder, as shown in Figure 36 Video Multistream Pane widget in the videoDriver palette. You can drag it directly from the palette onto a Px page to design a single Px page that holds one or more camera views.

One of the primary benefits of using this widget is that it provides a way to use a single network connection to display multiple cameras, thereby saving network bandwidth. You can drag the widget boundaries to adjust its size and position on the Px page.
NOTE: You cannot use the Video Multistream Pane widget for remote video in an enterprise environment. As an alternative, use the Surveillance Viewer component.
To use the widget, you can drag it onto a Px page canvas pane and set the Video Multistream Binding Ord to the DVR device. The Video Multistream Pane comes with a Canvas Pane that has default height and width of 100 x 100 pixels. Adjust this pane’s View Size property as required to provide the necessary space for displaying the desired number of live video streams. Then add Live Video widgets as needed for the multiple camera display that you want. See Figure 37 Example Video Multistream Pane widget with four Live Video Players for an example of the Video Multistream Pane being configured in the Px Editor.
NOTE: Alternatively, instead of dragging the Video Multistream Pane widget and subsequent Live Video Player widgets from the palette, you can drag the devices from the nav tree onto the Px page and use the Make Widget Wizard to add the Ord bindings to the widgets as you add them to the Px page.
