camera number and the current monitor number.

Selecting a monitor
There are two ways to enter the number for a new monitor:
1. Press the mon key.
2. Enter one of the following:
• the monitor number including any preceding zeros; or
• the monitor number directly.
3. Press  .
The keypad remembers the last camera that was selected on the previous monitor. If a new monitor is selected
that is the same as the one in use immediately before the current monitor, that last camera will be selected as
well when the monitor is switched back. This allows you to alternate between two monitors and have the
camera control follow the monitor selection. This only works for two monitors. If the monitor selected is not
the previous one, the camera selection remains the same as it is on the current monitor.
Note: System controller mode will usually restore the last camera used with a monitor when that monitor is selected whether it
was the last monitor or not.
Selecting a camera
When you select a camera, the keypad sends a command to the switching device to call that camera to the
active monitor. There are two camera-selection methods:
• Enter the camera number including preceding zeros (for example, if you have tens of cameras, enter 01
for camera 1; if you have hundreds of cameras, enter 001 for camera 1).
• Enter the camera number directly (omitting preceding zeros), and then press  .
