HOW TO SELECT MULTISCREEN DISPLAYS

Your multiplexer allows up to 10 or 16 simultaneous camera images to be displayed on Monitor A. Depending on

the viewing mode selected, these can be live images or images played back from a VCR. The multiscreen key

 will select the available formats cyclically e.g. 16 way, 13 way, 10 way, 9 way, 7 way, quad, PIP, back to 16

way, 13 way,  etc. The individual areas of a multiscreen are called cameos.

* 16 way and 13 way displays only available on 16 way unit in Live mode

HOW TO SELECT WHICH CAMERAS ARE SHOWN IN A MULTISCREEN DISPLAY

When a multiscreen display is being viewed, it is possible to select which camera is displayed in each cameo of

the display. This is done by selecting a cameo and then selecting which camera is assigned to the cameo.
1. Select active cameo mode by pressing the enter key whilst in a multiscreen display.
2. Using the arrow keys, move to the cameo you wish to change. This is indicated by the camera title flashing

within the selected cameo.

3. Press the desired camera key.
4. Press enter to exit  Active Cameo mode
If you have set up the camera numbers and locations which are to be displayed in a particular multiscreen, then

the unit will automatically save that selection and will display the same camera selection and locations each time

that particular multiscreen is selected. (This is saved in volatile memory.)
For example, if cameras 9, 4, 7 and 2 are selected for the quad multiscreen, then whenever you select the quad

multiscreen, those cameras will be displayed, and in the same positions as you originally selected.
If you switch from a multiscreen display to a full-screen camera image, then when the Multiscreen key is next

pressed, you will automatically return to the last multiscreen format that was being viewed.
For example, if you are viewing a 7 way multiscreen and switch the display to a full-screen display, then if the

Multiscreen key is pressed later, the Monitor A display will switch directly back to the 7 way screen format.
