  8- and 16-channel recorders only: 
Select the desired monitor, VGA or HDMI. HDMI is the default event 
monitor. If the VGA monitor is selected as event monitor, then HDMI 
becomes the main monitor. 
Note: If under the Device Management > General Settings window Auto 
has been selected, HDMI is by default the main monitor. You will not be 
able to change the main and event monitor options here. 
4-channel recorder only: 
There is no event monitor so this option is not shown. Events pop-up in 
full-screen view on both the VGA and HDMI monitors.

Layout 
The Layout window allows you to define the layout of each of the different views as they 
are shown when selecting the different live views or the sequencing order. 
The cameras are sequenced in numeric order by default. You can change the order of 
the cameras for all monitors. 
The camera order in the different views is consistent. This means that if Channel 2 is 
the first camera shown in the single camera view then it will also be the top left camera 
of the 4-channel view. 
You can switch the tile of a camera with that of another camera in the system. This lets 
you, for example, have the images of camera 1 appear on tile 10, and the images of 
camera 10 appear on tile 1. This feature is useful when you want to watch the 
sequence of images from specific cameras so that they are next to each other on-
screen.   
See Figure 22 on page 65. Each video tile displays both the order of the camera on 
screen and the camera number.
