Local preview is to decode and playback the signal from the input channel at the keyboard
local-end. You can implement other shortcut operations during the local preview process.
Please follow the steps listed below.
1) Input number 0+MON, select the local preview operation.
2) Input number i+MULT, select the window display amount. System now supports
1/4/8/9 /16-window mode.
3) Input number j+WIN, select the output window j.

27
4) Input number k+CAM, it is to output the signal from the channel k to window j via the
keyboard decode.
For example, 0+MON+4+MULT+2+WIN+1+CAM means: Display in 4-window mode;
output the video from channel 1 to the window 2 to preview. See Figure 3-43.

Figure 3-43
Note
Input Number j+WIN+0+CAM, it can stop local preview function of window j.

Select one window and click （NEXT）or （PREV）, you can increase or decrease the

previous local decode video source number and then output it to current select window.

3.3.5.3 Decoder Operation

Window split Mode
Here is for you to set the window display mode. It is to output the selected channel to the
specified windows.
Please follow the steps listed below.
1) Input number i+MON, it is to select the output channel i. Please note 0+MON is the

2) Input number j+MULT, it is to output the signal from channel i to display in j-window
mode.

Output to the video wall

It is to display the signal from the selected channel via the decode output channel. See
Figure 3-44.
Please follow the steps listed below.
1) Input number i+MON, it is to select output channel i.
2) Input number j+WIN, it is to select current output window.
3) Input number k+CAM, it is to output the input signal from channel k to the video wall

28
 via the output channel i of window j.

Figure 3-44
If you want to enable local video preview function, there are two ways:
z Input number j+WIN to select window and click ENTER button, click ENTER button

z Input number j+WIN.

Select one window and click （NEXT）or （PREV）, you can increase or decrease

current video channel number and then output it to current select window.
Note
Input number j+WIN+0+CAM, you can stop dynamic decode function of window j.

Output decoded video group to the video wall (Input group->output channel).
The function of the decoder is to output a selected group via the output decoded channel.
Detailed function:
z When the channel n in the group is smaller than the output channel window amount
m, it is to decode dynamically. System outputs the input channel from the group to
display in the windows respectively.
z When the channel n in the group is larger than the output channel window amount m,
it is to realize the tour function from group to screen. The output channel window m is
one output group and system decodes and outputs the input channel m by once.
System repeats the output until the remaining input channel amount is smaller than
the m.
Please follow the steps listed below.
1) Input i+MON, it is to select output channel i.
2) Input j+CAM-G, it is to output current input group j via the output channel i.

29
Decoded video group to the video wall (Input group->output window)
You can refer to the above contents for detailed information. The difference is that you
need to select a window for the output channel. You need to set the input channel of the
input group to one window of the output channel to enable the tour function. If there is only
one input channel, it is just like the dynamical decode in the output window.
Please follow the steps listed below.
1) Input i+MON, it is to select the output channel i.
2) Input j+WIN, select the window j for current output channel.
3) Input k+CAM-G, select to output the current input group k to the output channel
window j to enable the tour function.

Decode video to the video wall (Input group->output group)

You can refer to the above contents for detailed information. If the channel amount n in the
input group is smaller than or equal to the output window amount m in the output group
(for example, output group 1 has two output channels, and each output channel has
4-window. There is total 8-window. Here you need to compare n and 8.). It is to decode the
signal from the input channel to the output channel respectively. If the n is larger than m,
system decodes and outputs m output channel until the remaining input channel is smaller
than m.
Please follow the steps listed below.
1) Input m+MON-G, it is to select the output group m.
2) Input n+CAM-G, it is to output the input group n to the output group m to enable the
tour function.

3.3.5.4 Playback of the decoder record

It is to control the output channel to playback the record file of the decoded input channel
remotely. You need to select the output channel and input channel and set the
corresponding playback time. See Figure 3-45.
Please follow the steps listed below.
1) Input i+MON, it is to select the output channel i.
2) Input j+WIN, it is to select the window of current output channel.
3) Input k+CAM, select input channel k. You can skip to the next step if current channel
already decodes in current playback channel.
4) Click ► (PLAY/PAUSE), you can go to the decoder record file playback setting
interface. (Right now, there is no playback in current window).
5) Set playback start time and end time. Please input the time (second-minute-hour) and
select the day-month-year. Click the OK button to begin the playback.
6) During the playback process, you can click f (PLAY/PAUSE）to pause current
operation, click ▀ (STOP) to stop playback.

30
 Figure 3-45
