Why are there two main display connectors?
There are two main display connectors so that you can use a VGA monitor for best picture quality or you may use a standard CCTV composite
monitor. Optimize your display using the setting in the Easy Setup Menus.
What is the purpose of the spot monitor?
The spot monitor is used to display one camera at a time in full screen format. You may display the time, date and titles on the spot monitor.
What is mechanical pan/tilt/zoom (mptz)?
Mechanical pan/tilt/zoom allows you to control receivers from your AurorA2000 front panel after selecting the receiver's camera on the main
display or spot monitors.
Do I need to terminate video inputs?
No. The AurorA2000 terminates each video input with 75 ohms.
What is the purpose of the looping connectors?
The two looping connectors are used to loop out the video from cameras 1-8 on one connector and cameras 9-16 on the other connector. You
must terminate with 75 ohms at the devices that you are looping out to, but not at the AurorA2000 connectors.
What can I do with a PC keyboard connected to the AurorA2000?
This lets you use a wireless or standard PC AT keyboard to easily type camera and macro titles. You can also perform any function from the PC
keyboard that you can from the AurorA2000. Use the following tables.
