Turning on the TVR 30 

Before turning the TVR 30 power on, connect at least one monitor to the main video 
out or the VGA interface. Otherwise, you will not be able to see the user interface and 
operate the device. Use the power switch on the back panel to turn on the unit. 

Live mode 

The TVR 30 automatically enters into live mode once powered on. Live mode refers to 
the mode in which the TVR 30 displays live video from cameras. The TVR 30 on-screen 
display presents information such as the camera title, the current operating mode, 
and the date and time information as shown in Figure 9 below.
