DISPLAY MODE

By clicking on the display mode buttons on in the Control Bar you can quickly configure how your cameras’ video feeds are displayed. The settings here will temporarily override the default configuration made in the Main Monitor tab in the Live menu (see Section

4.2Live Configuration). You can select whether to view a single channel at a time, two channels in a picture in picture format, or view multiple channels in a split screen mode. In addition, users have the option to select how many channels to view at once as well as which channels will be shown in that multi-channel display. The number of display mode options and their configuration will depend up on the model of your DVR. With the exception of the nine-channel viewing mode on an eight-channel system, your DVR will not have the option to display more channels than it supports. If you have fewer than the maximum number of cameras connected to your DVR, the channels without cameras will remain black and display a “Video Loss” message.

PICTURE 3-4

Click the icon beside the desired screen display mode to open the CHANNEL SELECT menu.

Users can check any or all channels to

 

display the live feeds (depending on the

 

display mode chosen and the number of

 

channels on the DVR). Click the box

 

to confirm the settings before closing the

 

CHANNEL SELECT menu by clicking on the

PICTURE 3-5

button.

 

You can move camera views to a new position by clicking and dragging the desired channel’s display. When a channel’s view is dragged into another area, the view that it replaces will move to the vacated location.

Double-clicking on any of the channels being displayed will bring that camera’s video to full screen. Right clicking anywhere within the image will return the display to its previous mode.

Asymmetric Display

With the exception of the four-channel DVRs in this series and the QT536, users have the option of viewing cameras using an asymmetric display mode. This modes consists of one large image plus several smaller images. As described above, a camera’s display can be dragged from one of the smaller windows into the larger window for easier viewing while maintaining a multi-channel display.

Picture in Picture

If you wish to only monitor two channels at a time, most QT DVRs (excluding the QT536) feature the Picture-in-Picture mode. The icon for this display mode is shown at the far right of Picture 3-4.

Clicking on the Picture-in-Picture button will open a pop-up window (Picture 3-6) allowing you to select which channel will be the main video feed. Clicking on the button in the lower left of that window will open a second pop-up window (Picture 3-7) allowing you to select the channel that will be displayed within the larger image. Note that the channel currently being used for the larger display will be darkened and not selectable.
