Optimizing Custom Layouts in the Diamond AIoT Console

The latest baseline update for the Diamond AIoT Console brings enhanced custom layout capabilities, allowing users to better manage and display video feeds according to their specific needs. This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to create, customize, and apply custom layouts in the Diamond AIoT Console.

Optimized Custom Layout Features

1. Enhanced Custom Layout Settings

• The new baseline optimizes the process of setting up custom layouts by allowing users to add associated channels either individually or in batches. Once created, these custom layouts can be applied directly in the preview interface for immediate use.

2. Increased Split Amounts Based on Model Series

• In the previous baseline, the number of split views in a custom layout was limited by the total number of channels available on the model. The new baseline removes this restriction, allowing the maximum split amount to be determined by the model series:
  • NVR 5XXX-EI Series: Supports up to 64 split views.
  • NVR 4XXX-EI Series: Supports up to 32 split views.

• Draw the layout according to your specific requirements, deciding how many splits or sections you need.

Step 3: Bind Channels to the Layout

Step 4: Apply the Custom Layout

Benefits of the New Custom Layout Optimization
