MONITOR CONNECTION :
Example 2: Connect a quad monitor (used as a slave monitor)
A quad monitor supports four camera connections. The screen can display 4 cameras simultaneously or one camera at a time.
The L164/L174V is a four channel DVR that records four channels of video. It also performs the function of a quad monitor.
If you already have a quad monitor with cameras connected to it, this is the best solution for connecting your DVR:
1)Connect your camera video output to the video input of the DVR.
2)Then connect your video output from the DVR to the video input of the quad monitor.
Under this setup the quad monitor simply acts as a slave monitor and the on screen display of the DVR will appear on the monitor.
How do I maintain the camera input to the quad monitor and connect the L164/L174V to the monitor?
There are two different ways to connect the monitor to the DVR. Setup instructions for two different types of monitors are provided:
•Quad monitor with (looping) video outputs
•Quad monitor without (looping) video outputs
Example 2.1: Connect a Quad monitor with (looping) video outputs
In this example the quad monitor has individual (looping) video outputs for each channel.
