SELECTING THE MONITOR

The main video output can be displayed on a VGA or analog monitor. The DX4500/DX4600 does not display video on both monitors simultaneously. By default, main video is output to the VGA connector. In this case, if a VGA monitor is connected to the VGA connector, video from the DVR is displayed on the monitor.

The DX4500/DX4600 provides two front panel buttons to select the monitor on which the main video is displayed:

SPOT button: If the main video is displayed on the VGA monitor, use the SPOT button to switch the display to the analog monitor connected to the MAIN-OUT BNC.

MAIN button: If the main video is displayed on the analog monitor, use the MAIN button to switch the display to the VGA monitor.
