Navigating Between View Panels
The DX8000 allows you to monitor up to 36 channels: each channel is assigned to 1 pane within the view panel. If the 36-division display format
is selected, all 36 panes occupy one panel. However, for single, 4-division, 9-division, 16-division, and 25-division display formats, the DX8000
displays the panes in multiple panels. In this case, to view all of the panes, you must cycle through multiple panels to display hidden panels.
Channel: As pertains to video, one DX8000 camera port (input). The term channel is sometimes used interchangeably with camera.
Camera: One external video device, such as a Spectra III
, that provides input video to the DX8000 DVR.
For example, if you select the single-division display format, 1 channel (video pane) fills the entire panel.
The pane and panel represent the same amount of viewing area.
