28 TruVision NVR 21 User Manual
The NVR automatically checks the monitor outputs used. If more than one
monitor is connected, the system then defines which monitor is the main one and
which is the event one. The event monitor is used to display detected events
such as motion. It cannot be configured separately.
The priority level for the main output is HDMI > VGA > CVBS. See Table 6
below. However, you can manually define your main monitor from the Layout
menu.
