Displaying Video with Quad Processors
Quad processors provide the ability to see video from up to eight cameras. The video can be
viewed from each camera individually, or it can be displayed in quad mode.

However, only video from four cameras can be displayed at one time. If a dual page quad

Displaying Video with Multiplexers
Multiplexers allow viewing of up to 16 cameras simultaneously. Cameras may be called up

of multiplexers are available. Triplex multiplexers allow simultaneous viewing of live video
and playing back recorded video while recording video from up to 16 cameras. Duplex
multiplexers allow viewing live video or playing back recorded video while also recording
video from up to 16 cameras. Simplex multiplexers allow viewing cameras full-screen mode
while recording of up to 16 cameras or displaying the cameras in a multiplexed mode when
recording is off.
Standard simplex and duplex multiplexers are available in 4-camera, 9-camera, and 16-

in 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 format, depending upon the installed multiplexer. See Chapter 5 for
