The Logged Off screen (shown below) or ‘Title Screen’ as it is sometimes referred to is the quiescent, logged-off
state for FUSION EDIT.
It is the initial screen displayed when FUSION EDIT is started from Windows and it is also the screen from which to
quit the FUSION EDIT application.
The FUSION EDIT screen is split into three main areas, Toolbar, Control Panel and Map Area all of which we will
now explore. In the logged off state the Control Panel always shows the operator log-on list, and in the Map area the
FUSION Splash Screen is always shown.

Users can be assigned a range of access rights for each of the available priorities, these are:
•Camera control priority
A hierarchical system of camera control is implemented as part of the ZoneVu system. The priority that each
user/workstation has within this scheme can be controlled. Additionally the ability to control cameras can be enabled
/ disabled.
•Ability to control multiplexers
The setting up and control of the system multiplexers is often critical to the operation of the control room, so the
ability of users to modify these can be controlled.
•Application controls
The ability of an user to exit Fusion, reboot the workstation, switch to Fusion Suite Manager and access the
FusionEdit application can be controlled.
•Functional resets
Certain functional sections of the ZoneVu system may sometimes want to be reset – following engineer activity –
The ability to do this can be selectively applied to the users.
•Privacy zone override
Occasionally there may be operational reasons why a privacy zone may need to be temporarily disabled. The ability
of a user to do this can be controlled.
•Door Control
The interface to a 3
rd
party access / door controller can be enabled or disabled by user.
•Configure keyboards
The Meyertech ZoneVu system allows for keyboards to be dynamically linked to a Fusion Workstation. This feature
can be enabled for specific users. Note – once configured the link will apply to all users on the workstation, the
feature being enabled/disabled is the ability to change the existing link..
•Ability to disable camera features
The Aux3 command on Meyertech’s receivers is commonly used to control the power to peripheral equipment. As
such the ability of users to control this relay can be limited.

The Fusion Audit synchronise button is used to generate a table of user names vs. user ids which is used by Fusion Audit to
identify operators.
Where Fusion Audit is installed on the same machine, FUSION EDIT puts the file FusionUsers.txt automatically into the
correct directory for Fusion Audit C:\Meyertech\FusionAudit\Users. If Fusion Audit is not installed the file is stored in
C:\Meyertech\Fusion\Equipment and it will have to be manually copied onto the machine with Fusion Audit installed.

Operators can belong to one of 10 defined groups. When in a group an operator can only access maps that are configured
as being either in their group or classed as a globally accessible maps.
An operator can be defined as being in group 0, which gives access to all maps. Similarly a map can be configured as being
in group 0 and becomes globally accessible to all operators.
Each group can have a predefined start map which will displayed after logging in.
