Adjusting On-Screen Information Display
The On-Screen Display (OSD) options control how information is displayed in the video panes. Each pane can have
one or two banners superimposed on the video:

Lower banner: When displayed, this banner indicates the name of the camera whose video is displayed in the
pane. The name can be displayed as it appears in the configuration utility – for example, “Back Door” – or it
can simply be the camera number – for example, “Camera 1.”

Upper banner: For camera panes in which recorded video is being played, this banner can provide a
timestamp, indicating the date and time at which the recording was made.
NOTE:
Banners require a lot of system resources. If your system appears overloaded, try removing them.
The color of the lettering of the banners can be configured to maximize its visibility.

Initial OSD settings are defined in the configuration utility (see Configuring a CCTV Monitor (TV-Out), page 25).
You can modify these settings on the monitor, and, if you wish, save the new settings to the unit’s configuration.
