11.15 Digital Matrix
To create more screen space to display multiple channels, such as 32 channels, Digital Matrix is thus
introduced to provide a way to view and manage up to 8 monitor displays.
The monitor of the computer where you configure the settings and control is called the “primary
monitor” and up to 7 additional monitors can be connected with. Additional VGA cards are required to
install multiple monitors. Most VGA cards now support dual monitors at least. To connect up to 8
monitors, you may need 4 VGA cards installed in the computer of GV-System.
The Digital Matrix includes these features:
z Live view: You can set different live views and screen divisions for each monitor.
z Automatic channel scan: You can set up to 16 scanned pages with different screen divisions and
channels for each monitor.
z Pop-up Alert: You can be alerted by pop-up live videos when motion is detected or I/O devices
are triggered.
