Importing *.mxu files

You can conveniently add large numbers of cameras, camera groups, devices and recordings/clips using a list that you manually generate in MxMC as an *.mxu file. You need to adhere to specific rules for the format when creating the list in order to correctly export the contents of the *.mxu file.
Important: When you import *.mxu files, it does not replace the project import, in which program settings, such as settings for the cameras and camera groups with assigned layouts, are imported. 

Format for Simple Imports

An *.mxu file needs to use the following format for a simple import of cameras:

• Unformatted UTF-8 text
• One or more camera lines with the following structure:
  Name<TAB>IP<TAB>Username<TAB>Password<CR LF/LF>
• Elements in a camera line need to use TABs as separators.
• Line breaks are either CR LF (Windows) or LF (UNIX).
• Comment lines are preceded by a //.
• Camera names need to be unique and cameras using the same name will not be added more than once.

Format for Advanced Imports

The file needs to adhere to additional rules for the format when importing cameras, groups, clips and settings for graphics and grid view.

Importing MXU Files

1. Click on Import MXU to import cameras and camera groups in the Welcome wizard. You can save the existing project, if necessary.
2. Open the *.mxu file.
3. Decide whether the cameras and groups from the *.mxu file should replace the entire configuration or they should be only added.
