Introduction

What is the Avigilon™ Control Center Virtual Matrix?

The Avigilon Control Center Virtual Matrix software is an optional Enterprise Edition feature that allows
you to control how video is monitored across multiple displays.

The Virtual Matrix software is used to connect a system with multiple monitors to the Avigilon Control
Center System. Once connected, you can control what is displayed on each of the linked monitors
through any instance of the Avigilon Control Center Client software. This includes choosing the cameras
that are displayed, setting the View layout, and displaying maps, web pages and alarms.

A copy of the Virtual Matrix software can be downloaded from the Avigilon website.
