2.4 VIDEO DISPLAY
QT-Series DVRs include an HDMI video out port to take advantage of the HD video from the SDI camera.
Additionally, you can use a television or a 19” or larger monitor as a main video display. An old-style CRT
(cathode ray tube) television can also be used for displaying the live and recorded video as well. While a
video display allows easy monitoring and play back of video at the DVR, it is not needed for day to day
use of your DVR if you are only monitoring it remotely via a mobile device or using a computer. However,
a video screen is needed for initial setup.
CONNECTING A VIDEO DISPLAY
Instructions on connecting a desired video display are included in the Quick Start Poster that came with
your system but are included here for your convenience.
High Definition Television
To connect to an HD television or other high definition screen with HDMI video input:
STEP 1. Plug an HDMI cable into the “HDMI” port on the back of the DVR.
STEP 2. Plug the other end into the “HDMI” port on the television.
STEP 3. Plug the television’s power cable into a surge protector.
VGA Monitor
Using a standard VGA monitor - the type used with most computers - with your DVR is the preferred
method and the DVR is configured with this in mind. Due to resolution restrictions, you must use a
monitor that has at least a 19” diagonal display. This information is typically included in the monitor’s
model number or found on the back of the monitor if you are uncertain.
STEP 1. Plug a VGA cable into the port marked “VGA” on the back of the DVR.
STEP 2. Plug the other end of the VGA cable into the similar port on the back of the monitor.
STEP 3. Plug the monitor’s power cable into the surge protector.

Changing Display Resolution
You can adjust the DVR to optimize its output to
best match the capabilities of your monitor or HD
display through the following steps:
STEP 1. Open the Basic window in the Setup
window which is located in the
Main Menu.
STEP 2. Click on the System tab.
STEP 3. Use the Video Output pull-down to
select your desired resolution.
STEP 4. Click on Apply to save your settings and
then click Exit.
STEP 5. Your system will restart. You will have to
re-log in afterwards.
‘MISSING’ MENU
If you are able to see your camera’s video feeds, but you are unable to see your mouse cursor or menu,
the most likely cause is that your video mode has been changed. In this case, you need to follow Step
4, above and you should see the cursor and/or menu after the beep.
MULTIPLE MONITORS
Some users will want to take advantage of the unused video display outputs (ie; using the BNC Video
Out port when the VGA or HDMI port is being used for the main display. This “extra” display will
mirror whatever is shown on the primary display but it will not show the menu or cursor. If displays are
connected to both the HDMI and VGA ports, both displays will show identical images if the display
setting is set to VGA 1280 x 1024 or lower. If the display resolution is set to HDMI, then the VGA monitor
will not display an image.
It is not possible to divide channels across two displays.

Television
A third option for a video display is any television with an RCA video input. The DVR’s
Video Out port
uses a BNC type for coaxial cable. Your DVR will include a BNC-to-RCA or adapter. To utilize this
method, you must supply your own RCA video cable. You will need to switch the DVR’s video setting as
well to use that as a primary output by following Step 4, below:
STEP 1. Connect a BNC-to-RCA cable to the “CVBS” port on the back of the DVR.
STEP 2. Plug the RCA end into the “Video In” port on the television.
STEP 3. Plug the television’s power cable into a surge protector.
STEP 4. Press and hold the STOP, STOP/ESC, EXIT, n/ESC or VGA/TV (depending on model) button on
the front of the DVR for 10 seconds or until you hear a beep to indicate that the video mode has been
changed.
