Selecting Cameras 

1

 

Display any camera in the active cameo by pressing the 

Number

 button of 

the desired camera.  Once a camera has been selected, the active cameo 
advances to the next cameo on the right. 

Number Button 

The camera selection only changes the multiscreen currently being displayed.  Each multiscreen must 
be configured separately.  Changes to the multiscreen display are saved in non-volatile memory, and 
will be retained even if power is removed from the unit. 

Freezing 

 

Press the 

Freeze

 button to freeze the image in the selected cameo.  Each 

frozen cameo is indicated as

 *

 (a flashing asterisk) on-screen. 

Press the 

Freeze

 button again to cancel Freeze operations. 

Freeze Button 

2.8  Sequencing 

 

The sequencing feature allows a camera to be displayed briefly on-screen, 

before advancing to the next camera in the sequence list.  The default 
sequence list displays each camera in numerical order. 
 

Sequence Button 

Dwell Time 

The dwell time is the amount of time each camera is displayed on-screen before advancing to the next 

camera.  The Full Screen and Multiscreen Dwell Times are separately programmable in the menu 
system.  For detailed information about configuring the dwell times in the menu system, see section ? . 

Autolist™ Custom Sequence List 

The Autolist™ feature allows the user to create a custom sequence list, controlling the order the 

cameras are displayed and the dwell time.  Separate Autolists may be created for Monitor A (Live or 
Playback mode) and Monitor B (Live mode). Using the 

Monitor

 button, select the monitor to be 

programmed.  Then, using a 

Number

 button, select any camera for full screen display. 

 
 

The unit must be in Full Screen Display mode before starting to create the sequence list.  
This initial camera is not part the sequence list. 

 
 
 
 
 

      

 

To begin recording the Autolist™ sequence:  

Press the 

Alarm

 button and 

Sequence

 button simultaneously.  Autolist Program mode is indicated as 

PGM

 on-screen. 

Recording starts when the first camera number is pressed.  Press the camera 
numbers in the order you wish them to appear on-screen.  The amount of 
time between button presses determines the Dwell Time.  During sequence 
list programming, pressing any button other than a 

Number

 button or the 

Sequence

 button voids the sequence list. 

Alarm Button and 

Sequence Button 

To end the recording:

  Press the 

Sequence

 button.  The amount of time between pressing the last 

Number

 button and the 

Sequence

 button determines the dwell time for the final camera in the 

sequence list. 

 

Returning To The Default Sequence List 

The default sequence list is all cameras in numeric order with a three second dwell time.
