Model A-575 User's Manual
To view PIP mode:
1
Press DISP once to switch between the wired and wireless cameras.
2
Press DISP again to activate PIP Mode.
3
Press DISP a third time to swap the positions of the main and miniature images.
Although the DVR can display two images at once, it can only record one at a time. When
the DVR is recording, the channel being shown full-screen is the one being recorded.
You may experience a drop in frame-rate when using PIP mode. This is due to the extra
processing power that displaying two images at once requires. This frame-rate reduction
can affect both live monitoring and video recording.

The wireless DVR can record in one of two formats: photo or movie.
Photos will be in JPEG format (still images). JPEG (or JPG) is the standard compression
format used for images distributed via the Internet. The high compression ratio allows
hundreds of images to be stored on a SD card.
Movies (video) will be recorded in 5- or 10-second lengths in AVI. AVI is compatible with
most computers and mobile phones. AVI is a popular video generic "container" (a type of
file which holds video data rather than specifying exactly what kind of video data it should
hold).
