MAPPING CHANNELS ON THE EXTENDED MONITOR

The DX8100 HVR version 1.2 and later units include a standard dual display card. By default, the DX8100 is set up to display video on the extended monitor connected to the VGA connector on the dual display card. Alternately, you can configure the dual display card to display video on a composite monitor connected to the BNC connector on the dual display card. For information about how to reconfigure the dual display card, refer to the dual display card installation manual.

The dual display card must be installed in the DX8100 and you must be logged on to the DX8100 application for the Channel Mapping icon to be available.

The DX8100 division buttons allow you to configure multiple extended monitor views. Figure 7 shows the 9-Division view. The DX8100 supports up to nine different channel mapping views. Selected cameras from the Site Tree can be displayed on the extended monitor and can be assigned to multiple views. Each view is set up independently; removing a camera from one view does not remove it from another.
