Changing Display Resolution
You can adjust the DVR to optimize its output
to best match the capabilities of your monitor
or HD display through the following steps:
STEP 1. Open the Basic window in the
Setup window which is located in the
Main Menu.
STEP 2. Click on the System tab.
STEP 3. Use the Video Output pull-down to
select your desired resolution.
STEP 4. Click on Apply to save your settings
and then click Exit.
STEP 5. Your system will restart. You will
have to re-log in afterwards.
Television
A third option for a video display is any television with an RCA video input. The DVR's Video
Out port uses a BNC (British Naval Connector) type for coaxial cable. Depending on model,
your DVR may include a BNC-to-RCA cable or adapter. The latter converts the BNC jack to
an RCA port allowing you to connect the DVR to the television using a readily available RCA
cable. If you use a television as your video display, you will need to switch the DVR to use that
as a primary output by following Step 4, below:
PICTURE 2-9
STEP 1. Connect a BNC-to-RCA cable to the "Video Out" port on the back of the DVR.
STEP 2. Plug the RCA end into the "Video In" port on the television.
STEP 3. Plug the television's power cable into a surge protector.
STEP 4. Press and hold the STOP, STOP/ESC, EXIT, n/ESC or VGA/TV (depending on model)
button on the front of the DVR for 10 seconds or until you hear a beep to indicate that the video
mode has been changed.

'MISSING' MENU

If you are able to see your camera's video feeds, but you are unable to see your mouse cursor
or menu, the most likely cause is that your video mode has been changed. In this case, you
need to follow Step 4, above and you should see the cursor and/or menu after the beep.

MULTIPLE MONITORS AND SPOT OUT

Some DVRs include a Spot Out BNC port on their back panel. This allows you to connect a
second video display that will show selected channels in sequence, but will not display the
menu and therefore cannot be used to control the DVR. This is covered in Section 4.2 Live
Configuration. Some users will want to take advantage of the unused video display outputs
(ie; using the BNC Video Out port when the VGA port is being used for the main display. This
"extra" display will mirror whatever is shown on the primary display but it will not show the
menu or cursor. It is not possible to divide channels across two displays.
Loop Out
Some of our larger DVRs, such as the QT518 and QT536 include one or more ports marked
Loop Out. These ports work with the included dongle(s) that split the video signal allowing the
user to connect one monitor per channel. In this case, the menu will not be displayed on any
of these additional monitors.
