Play back video locally to a TV using 20XXP and 21XXP series CSVRs
The 20XXP and 21XXP series CSVRs (ADC-CSVR2000P/2008P/2016P/2108P/2116P) can play back live and recorded video locally to one or two monitors using their HDMI outputs. They can also output the video of all of the cameras associated with them.
Note: Live and recorded video for a camera will not display locally until it is associated to an SVR. For more information about associating a video device to a CSVR, see Associate a camera with an SVR.
To connect the 20XXP and 21XXP series CSVRs to a monitor:
Connect external monitors/TVs
Attach up to two monitors/TVs to the device using the HDMI ports. The outputs are mirrored, so the same interface is shown on two screens.
Using two monitors/TVs
When connecting the CSVR to multiple displays, it is recommended to use the same resolution on both attached displays.
If having difficulty viewing both screens, attempt the following commands with a USB keyboard attached to the CSVR20XXP series. This does not work with the 21XXP series.
- CTRL+ALT+1 - sets all monitors to 1024x768 resolution
- CTRL+ALT+2 - sets all monitors to 1920x1080 resolution
- CTRL+ALT+3 - sets all monitors to their native resolution
- Note that not all monitors correctly report their native resolution capabilities
- CTRL+ALT+4 - sets all monitors to their native resolution and mirrors the displays
Connect a keyboard and mouse to navigate the user interface
Note: The 21XXP series CSVRs use the two rear USB 2.0 ports to connect a keyboard and mouse. The front USB 3.0 port is recommended for connecting external storage devices. The 20XXP series CSVRs only have 3.0 USB ports, front and back.
