Vi-R2000 Series 1.1. Monitors VGA Monitor A VGA monitor is recommended in order to benefit from high resolution images. Supported resolutions are: 1024x768 and 1280x1024. The VGA monitor should be plugged in before applying power to the DVR so that is detected. If no monitor is attached, the BNC output becomes the main monitor. BNC Monitor The BNC monitor is the AUX monitor if a VGA monitor is used and can display full screen and split screen formats that are independent to the VGA monitor.
Vi-R2000 Series 1.2. Control The R-series DVRs have various methods of control. A single method or a mixture of methods can be employed according to personal preference: • Control by keys in standard mode - arrow keys step from field to field in the menus. • Control by external mouse – a mouse moves pointer smoothly around the screen. The left button selects items on the screen and right button brings up a menu when in live mode.
