How to Set up the Output Settings for Zosi DVRs / NVRs

Applies to: Zosi DVRs and NVRs.

You may configure the output settings of your Zosi DVRs / NVRs to get the best display on your TV/monitor.

• Resolution: The number of “little dots” that make up an image. The higher the resolution, the better the image. However, please do not select the resolutions that exceeds the resolution of your monitor / TV or it may not be able to display. The DVR / NVR has below formats available, in four different aspect ratios:
  • Standard (4:3) - 1024x768
  • Standard (5:4) - 1280x1024
  • Widescreen (16:10) - 1280x800,1440x900
  • Widescreen (16:9) - 1280x720 (720p) , 1920x1080 (1080p) or 3840x2160 (4K)

• For Standard Monitors via VGA: Select one of the standard (4:3) formats for DVR / NVR’s output.

• For Widescreen Monitors via VGA: Select one of the standard (16:9) formats for DVR / NVR’s output.

• For PC monitors via HDMI: Choose a format appropriate for your monitor.
• For Widescreen Plasma/LCD HD TVs via HDMI: The resolution should be set to the maximum your television can process not display. You may check your television’s documentation to find this value. Typically, a proper resolution will be 1080p, as even screens that support less resolution can still display the image, just with less detail. If your television cannot display 1080p, then use 720p instead.
