Note:  

1. 

To display Matrix views in separate 8 monitors, make sure your 
computer is equipped with 4 VGA cards. To set up multiple monitor 
positions and resolutions, see 

Matrix Settings

 in 

4.22 System 

Configuration

. 

2. 

The Matrix supports the megapixel resolution only on a single screen. 
Click the 

  button at left-top corner of the single screen to display 

megapixel images.   

3. 

According to your screen divisions, the Matrix will reduce the received 
resolution as close as to the division size. For GV IP devices, the 
JPEG stream of 704 x 480 or smaller will be changed to the MPEG 
stream of the similar size; the JPEG stream higher than 704 x 480 will 
remain as JPEG stream. The mechanism is designed to reduce CPU 
usage and save bandwidth.
