During Triplex mode, the DVR maintains the same display format as it does in the live mode. A red
outline surrounding the video and the camera title indicates the playback channel. While in the Triplex
Mode, the DVR continues recording cameras as they were set up in the recording schedule. Also, live
monitoring will continue except for the camera that has been selected for playback. Pressing the
(Menu) button on the front panel or remote control pauses live video of the selected playback channel and
displays the Search menu. Refer to the
Searching Video
section of this chapter for information regarding
video searching.
While in Triplex mode, press the
button or the
(Search/Stop) button on the front panel or remote
control to exit Triplex mode and return to live mode.
Using a Mouse
You can use a mouse instead of the front panel buttons to perform many of the DVR functions. The
following operations are supported when using a mouse during live monitoring.
When in one of the multi-view formats (e.g., PIP, 2x2, 3+4, 3x3, 2+8, 1+12 or 4x4), clicking the mouse
button on a camera image switches that camera to full screen. Clicking the mouse button again returns to
the previous multi-view format.
When in one of the multi-view formats, scrolling the mouse wheel up and down operates the same as pressing
the
(Display) button by switching the screen format between PIP, 2x2, 3+4, 3x3, 2+8, 1+12 and 4x4.
Clicking the right mouse button during live monitoring displays the following menu:
