Using these buttons, the units can be operated in one of two modes—Manual or Auto.
Manual Mode
To operate the unit in Manual mode, press the numbered buttons to view the corresponding
camera on the monitor. The LEDs above the buttons indicate which camera is currently
selected.
Pressing the button for a video source that doesn’t have a camera connected to it will
display a ‘NO VIDEO’ message until another camera is selected.
Auto Mode
To operate the unit in Auto mode, press the Auto button. The monitor will begin to show
images from each active camera in sequence. Any input that had no video signal present
when the unit was powered up will be omitted from the sequence. To add an input to the
sequence, connect it to a video signal and then manually select that input using the relevant
numbered button. When the sequence is restarted, the new input will be included.
When operating in Auto mode, the unit displays each camera input for a specific period of
time before displaying the image from the next camera and so on. This period of time is
known as the dwell time and it can be adjusted for each camera individually using the on-
screen menu system (see page 16).
To exit Auto mode, press any of the numbered input selection buttons.
