cated above and below each button. The top four buttons are used to select the video channel, in the

the ALT button along with the desired function, ie. for the FREEZE function, press the ALT button and the
FREEZE button together. The bottom row of buttons are used as follows:

ority, or size to each channel, the PIP gives one channel the full screen with the other three appearing in

menu. To change the priority of the four channels, simply press the PIP button as needed.
