Features of the MxThinClient
Using the MxThinClient, you can show live streams of
MOBOTIX P3 or Mx6 cameras or static images (JPEG or
PNG) on a TV or monitor with HDMI input. The following
two main features are available:
• Sequencer Feature:
By default, the integrated sequencer automatically
cycles through all dened image sources (cameras and
still images). For this purpose, you can set a global
time to show an image source and also individual
times to show specic image sources.
•
Automatic Pop-Up Feature (via MxMessageSystem)
On top of the automatic sequencer, the device can
also show an image source as a reaction to specic
events. For example, you can use this mechanism to
show the live video stream from a door station aer
someone rang the doorbell. To be able to use this
feature, MxMessageSystem must be congured both
on the camera and on the MxThinClient The image
source will pop up aer the device has received an
MxMessageSystem notication with the specied
message name.
Note: If the MxThinClient is attached to a TV or monitor
with several HDMI inputs and the device receives a
message to switch to a specic image source, the
device cannot automatically switch to the proper
HDMI input.
To congure the image sources and all other relevant
settings, please use a web browser and follow the
instructions on the following page.

Operating the MxThinClient
1.
Open the MxThinClient User Interface in a Browser
Enter the IP address of the MxThinClient:
http://<MxThinClient IP address>
By default, the MxThinClient has been set to run as
a DHCP client with an additional static IP address
in the 10.x range (network mask 255.0.0.0) printed
on the housing of the device. If you are running the
MxThinClient in a network with a DHCP server (e.g.,
DSL router), you can look up the IP address in the
list of devices of the DHCP server. When using a DSL
router with integrated DHCP/DNS server, you can also
use the host name of the device MxThinClient<10x
factory IP address>
in the browser address bar.
Example:
http://MxThinClient10-7-35-193
2. Set the Language and Change the Password
The factory default language is English. If required,
click on Page Administration > Language and select
a dierent language.
For security reasons, you should change the factory
default password. Click on Page Administration >
Change password for the web access and set a new
password.
3. Set Up the Network
If you intend to use the pop-up feature to show image
sources via MxMessageSystem described above, you
need to adjust the settings in the following dialogs of
the Conguration section:
• Network settings: NTP
When using messages of the MxMessageSystem,
the time of the MxThinClient must run in sync with
the cameras and door stations that are sending
the messages. In the NTP section, enable the time
synchronization and enter the same time server
(IP address or name) as on the cameras and door
stations. Note that you can also use a camera or a
door station as a time server.
• Network settings: MxMessageSystem – Distribution of Message over the Network
Activate this section if you want to receive messages from a camera or door station via the
MxMessageSystem.
Important: Make sure that these entries are identical
to the entries in the MxMessageSystem conguration of all cameras or door stations that are sending
messages.
4.
Congure the Image Sources (Cameras/Still Images)
Open the Conguration > Image Sources dialog to
dene all image sources (live video streams and/or
images) you want to display as well as the corresponding display duration..
Notes:
• To display still images, set the Codec dropdown to
Image and then specify the p[s] or http[s] address
to download the image to show. These images are
currently not stored in the MxThinClient, but will be
loaded every time they are displayed.
• By default, all dened image sources are displayed
using the global sequencer display duration. To
dene an individual display duration for an image
source, activate the Use Individual Display Duration option.
• If you enter the name of a message in the Message
Name eld, the device will automatically display this
image source if it receives a message with this name.
