Using Workspaces
A workspace in the WS5000 is a group of video panes displaying video from cameras that you have selected. Any changes to the cameras
selected for display in a workspace are automatically saved, so that you do not have to select the same cameras each time you log on. You might
set up a workspace to display cameras of a particular type, cameras in a certain location, or cameras monitoring the same activity (for example,
doors, blackjack tables, or baggage handling).
Workspaces are accessed through a tabbed interface in the main screen. Each tab is independent of the others. Click a tab to switch to a
different set of video panes. There are four default workspaces (refer to Table Q):
Table Q. Default Workspaces
You may quickly and easily manage workspaces in the following ways:
• Disconnect all video in a workspace. You can disconnect all video being displayed in a workspace with a single command. Use this
command to disconnect all devices quickly so that you can modify settings in a workspace.
• Rename each workspace for easy recognition and selection. Example names include: Parking Lot Cameras, Hallway 1, Blackjack Close-Ups,
and Spectras.
• Change the workspace layout. For example, you might want to set up several workspaces in 4 x 4 layout to maximize the number of
cameras available at any one time. Alternatively, you might want to switch to 1 x 1 mode to increase the visibility of details in the
monitored video. You may use any layout you prefer for any workspace.
• Adjust the number of workspaces. The system allows you to have from one to six workspaces.
Details on these configuration options and commands appear below.
NOTE: Your workspaces can be different from those on other Endura workstations. When you log on, the workspaces on your workstation
automatically load so that you see the cameras and layouts you prefer. Adjustments you make to your workspaces are saved on your workstation
and will not affect other users.
DISCONNECTING ALL VIDEO IN A WORKSPACE
When you want to modify the settings of a workspace, you must first disconnect any video that is playing in the video panes. Endura provides a
command to disconnect all video at once. This command is especially useful if you are displaying a large number of videos at the same time.
To disconnect all video in a workspace:
1. Right-click a workspace tab to display the shortcut menu.
2. Select Disconnect all video. The video in each pane is disconnected.

Default Name Default Layout
Workspace 1 One camera (1 x 1)
Workspace 2 Four cameras (2 x 2)
Workspace 3 Nine cameras (3 x 3)
Workspace 4 Sixteen cameras (4 x 4)
