External Monitor Setup

The DX8000 supports an optional multiplexing (MUX) display card that provides two additional analog monitor outputs. The first one, nearest to the top of the unit, mirrors the output of the main (VGA) video output. The second one, nearest to the bottom of the unit, is user definable. If your DX8000 Series DVR includes the optional MUX display card, the External Monitor button will appear on the screen in Setup mode. Users with Power User access or higher can assign cameras to and configure the display card.

NOTE: The optional MUX display card must be installed in your DVR and an external monitor(s) must be connected in order to make use of the additional analog monitor outputs. Refer to the installation manual for instructions on how to connect analog monitors to the MUX display card.

•Setting Up Automatic Camera Mapping on page 191

•Setting Up Manual Camera Mapping on page 192

Setting Up Automatic Camera Mapping

Automatic camera mapping offers a simplified method for configuring the second (bottom) output on the optional MUX display card. Video from each camera source will be automatically cycled across the monitor’s view panels. In automatic mode all cameras will be displayed sequentially starting with Camera 1 and continuing through Camera 16 (depending on your system’s configuration).

The automatic camera mapping feature includes the following stipulations:

•The automated sequence will be interrupted each time a motion or alarm event is detected.

•When the DVR detects an event (either motion or alarm), it will switch the monitor output to display the camera source that detected the event. The amount of time the event channel overrides the automated sequence can be set between 1 and 60 seconds.

•Eight-channel DVRs offer only the 1x1, 2x2, and 3x3 view panel options. If you select more than one screen division, each camera channel will cycle through each screen before the next panel division is presented.
