Monitoring Live Video
With the DX4000 you can monitor up to four video channels simultaneously. There are three screen modes available: single mode, quad mode (four channels), and sequencing mode. Single mode displays video from a single camera. This same camera is displayed until you select another one or until you change the screen mode. Quad mode displays video for up to four cameras at the same time in a 2x2 grid. Sequencing mode dis- plays video from a single camera and rotates among all connected cameras. With this screen mode, you can watch video from all connected cameras without having to select a different channel. The DX4000 cycles through the video on all connected cameras and displays it for a short time before displaying video from the next camera.
Along with choosing a screen mode, you can disconnect cameras, adjust the audio volume associated with a camera, and adjust the color set- tings for cameras.

1.If necessary, press the Return button to clear all menus from your monitor.
2.Press the SCR Mode button on the front panel of the DX4000. Each time you press this button, the monitor display changes.
3.Continue pressing the SCR Mode button until the display mode is as you want it.
4.If you choose sequencing mode, a circular arrow appears in the top center of the monitor, and the camera name changes each time a new camera is displayed.
