How can I use the Dual Monitor function? Does the PC need special hardware?

You have to make sure your PC had support two VGA outputs, no matter you are install one or two VGA card. Notebook that support dual screen support is also accepts.

For example, assuming we install one VGA card (Model: xxxxxxx) in the test PC , this VGA card provides 4 VGA outputs , so we can use two of them for Dual monitor function for CVP/CVP-Mx .Where VGA 1 can be Recording and VGA2 for Playback.

If your VGA card has it’s utility, you may use the utility to enable the secondary monitor.


Cam Viewer Pro setting (Enable “Run playback on secondary monitor” for playback)


Please pay attention for different VGA cards:
1. VGA card has one VGA output. Please make sure your mainboard can install two VGA cards and drive them work with two monitors at the same time.
2. VGA card has two VGA outputs. Please make sure those VGA outputs can work at the same time. Especially the VGA connectors are different (one D-Sub, one DVI).
3. VGA card has more then two outputs. Please make sure it can work with two monitors at the same time.
