The camera order in the different views is consistent. This means that if Channel 2 is the first camera shown in the single camera view then it will also be the top left camera of the 4-channel view.

You can switch the tile of a camera with that of another camera in the system. This lets you, for example, have the images of camera 1 appear on tile 10, and the images of camera 10 appear on tile 1. This feature is useful when you want to watch the sequence of images from specific cameras so that they are next to each other onscreen.

See Figure 19 below. Each video tile displays both the order of the camera on screen and the camera number.
