Timeline synchronization control method for multiple display views
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- grouping collected video data into a first view of first video data and a second view of second video data, wherein the first video data is associated with a first timeline and the second video data is associated with a second timeline;
linking the first view to the second view to;
synchronize the first timeline with the second timeline; and
transform separate control of the first and second views from separate first and second controllers to singular control by the first controller; and
subsequent to the linking, unlinking the first view from the second view to;
cause the first timeline to become independent of the second timeline; and
revert the singular control by the first controller to the separate control provided by the separate first and second controllers.

Abstract
A video surveillance system and methods for operating that sets the timeline for multiple views of video data from different cameras to playback separately from one another or to be linked so as to synchronize their playback. Placement and selection of a playback cursor to a particular point in a timeline of master view will cause linked views to automatically move to and synchronize to the same point in their associated timelines, and when the video data is being transmitted from multiple cameras to cause the cameras displaying the linked views to update so that the video data associated with each camera is updated to the selected point in time from the linked master view. Timeline resolutions for linked views are not affected by linking or unlinking views.
