Note
CONFIGURING TOURS ON EXTERNAL MONITORS
If you select any option other than Not Connected for an output on the Outputs
tab, you can configure the external monitor to tour, or cycle through cameras in a
preset order. Tours can be overridden manually on the Monitor page. Tours can
also be stopped automatically if you have selected Alarm, Motion, or Motion or
Alarm for the output on the Outputs tab, in which case the tour is replaced by
alarm or motion video until the trigger or activity ceases.
To configure a tour, click on the tour button next to the drop-down list for the
output. In the Multi View Tour window, select the camera or multi-camera view
that you want to include in the tour and click Add, and then select a Tour Interval.
Each camera or multi-camera view is then displayed on the output for the amount
of time entered for the Tour Interval. Click OK when finished configuring the
tour. Multi-camera views are configured on the MultiOut tab on the Setup page.
SETTING OUTPUT PRIORITIES
If motion or alarm events occur on more cameras than there are external monitors
to display them on, MasterControl displays video from those cameras with the
highest priority. For example, if three cameras exhibit motion but only two out-
puts are assigned as Motion, the two cameras with the highest priority are dis-
played on the monitors.
The Outputs tab on the Setup page allows you to set high, medium, and low priori-
ties for every camera input. To set priorities, select one or more camera inputs and
click the Low, Med, or Hi button. You can quickly select all inputs by clicking
Select All, or you can deselect all inputs by clicking Select None.

Not Connected—indicates that no monitor is connected to this output
and disables touring. It is important that you select this option if there is
no monitor connected to the output. By default, one camera is assigned to
each output; thus, a camera might be omitted from a tour if MasterControl
thinks that the camera is assigned to an output that might not actually be
connected to a monitor.
The Alarm and Motion Dwell Time setting on the Outputs tab is the
minimum amount of time that alarm or motion video will be dis-
played on the external monitor. You cannot manually display a dif-
ferent camera until this time has expired or the alarm or motion event
ends, whichever occurs first.
