Northstar 972

The Northstar 972 can display video 
signals from a variety of sources. TV 
cameras, videotape, and DVD players all 
can display their images on the 972’s 
screen as long as the signals conform to 
NTSC or PAL standards.

Just connect the video source’s cable to 
one of the four BNC connectors on the 
back of the 972 black box, and the signals 
will be available for display. 

Video signals are not carried over the 
Ethernet network. A separate video cable 
must be run to each 972 system.

To display a video signal from a connected 
source, press the 

 key. 

The full-screen video image works just like 
any other function — press 

 to display 

it and press any other function key to 
switch to another screen.

If no video signal is present, a blue screen 
is displayed. Press and hold 

 and turn 

on a connected video source.

The 972 can cycle automatically between 
the four video inputs. Press Autocycle to 
turn this feature on or off. Choose the time 
for each input by pressing and holding 

 to display the 

 screen.

You can pause or freeze the current video 
image by pressing Stream to select

playback.
