Vi-R2000 Series
1.1. Monitors
VGA Monitor
A VGA monitor is recommended in order to benefit from high resolution images. Supported resolutions
are: 1024x768 and 1280x1024. The VGA monitor should be plugged in before applying power to the
DVR so that is detected. If no monitor is attached, the BNC output becomes the main monitor.
BNC Monitor
The BNC monitor is the AUX monitor if a VGA monitor is used and can display full screen and split
screen formats that are independent to the VGA monitor.
The BNC is the MAIN monitor if no VGA monitor is present.
The external keyboard port supports Vi-K1 and Vi-K2 series keyboards and allows remote control of
the DVR. The DVR sends video over CAT5 to a BNC connector on the keyboard for connection to a
monitor. This displays the same image as the BNC output on the DVR.

1.2. Control
The R-series DVRs have various methods of control. A single method or a mixture of methods can be
employed according to personal preference:
• Control by keys in standard mode - arrow keys step from field to field in the menus.
• Control by external mouse – a mouse moves pointer smoothly around the screen. The left
button selects items on the screen and right button brings up a menu when in live mode.
• Control by mouse emulator – the Up/Down/Left/Right keys perform the functions of a mouse,
moving the pointer smoothly around the screen. SEL is the left button. Press the 0 button and
hold for 1 second to simulate a right button click. The ESC key takes you back a menu level.
