image automatically switch. When directing under Dual-director mode and Manual mode,it could manually
switch the output (device HDMI-OUT-1 output), HDMI-OUT-1 output video can be changed from PGM channel
picture or PGM2 channel picture, you need to manually select the button ‘Director output’ on the lower left
window.
3. In Single-director mode can select the video display by PGM or PGM2
4. The Audio Bar is located between the PGM channel and the PVW channel in the single-director
mode, and between the PGM channel and the PGM2 channel in the dual-director mode, there are two small

audio bars. Audio bar is mainly reflected the volume of the audio input; the green wave will vary with the
volume of the sound. Click the Menu ‘Sound Control’ can adjust the volume of input for recording and output to
speaker system or HDMI out, also click on or mute the sound.
5. In the PGM and PGM2 mode, you can click the button to perform the following quick operation: TS
multicast push, RTMP push, and start, pause, and end of recording. (Streaming Media Server IP or TS
broadcasting address must be set in the setup before pushing the stream). TS multicast push button,
RTMP push button, start local video record, pause button, stop record button.
6. When working under Semi Auto or Manual mode, you double-click the preview PVW image, the
image jumps to PGM and overwrites the previous one. For example, PVW preview is a 2-screen image, PGM is a
6-screen image, double-click the PVW channel, 2-screen image cut to PGM, the original 6-screen image is
replaced. PVW and PGM, PGM2 are all support multi-screen combination. If working under Full Auto, you

4.3 Input Channels
Video input channels，as following picture indicates

Figure12 Video input channel
Video input channel is divided into three parts: the local video display channel,local playback
channel and remote video display channel.
Each recording and playback host can display video locally, such as PGM, PVW, PGM2, and Input
channels, and can add remote recording image from Conference Control menu and display it in Input
Channels, PGM and PVW channel.
The first channel (display name:HDMI1 on the channel)and second channel(hdmi2) is corresponding to
the HDMI port 1 and port 2 of local recorder.(If model VIS-CRS03 and VIS-CRS05,then more HDMI
inputs are available and so forth..) For example, We use the VIS-CRS02 as the conference recorder, its
HDMI1 connect to the camera and HDMI2 connect to a PC of speaker. The third input channel display
the local replay video. If you connect the remote conference recorder(like VIS-CRS02),the remote video
will display at the fourth input channel. Each conference recorder can connect to several remote video
channels. The remote image and sound can be transmitted together and also can be switch to
PVM,PGM and PGM2 to push stream and recording etc. Multi-conference room communication ,two or
more conference recorder need to be connected to the network
