Xeno194 0 Posted October 29, 2011 I have a 4ch DVR and im only using 2 of the 4 inputs. I have my screen setup in quad view. Inputs 3 and 4 show video loss. Can i put bnc terminators (50ohm) on inputs 3 and 4 to get rid of the 2 blue boxes or is there a better way to put a dummy load on the inputs. My dvr has no way of making those inputs non active.

ljarrald 0 Posted October 29, 2011 you could split the input from the cameras so you have cam 1 going into input 1 and 3 and cam2 going into input 2 and 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xeno194 0 Posted October 29, 2011 That's a good idea. I'm going to buy 2 terminators and 2 bnc splitters and see if the terminators work if they don't i will just run the splitters. Thanks again for the tip. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted October 29, 2011 Terminators won't help. The system is looking for the presence of a video signal. Splitters are a bad idea, too - it will very likely result in a degraded picture for both cameras, so instead of one "100% quality" image of each, you'll get two "80% (or so) quality" images. The loss may or may not be noticeable... but I'd suggest just not bothering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
