To test CVBS, AHD, TVI, CVI, or SDI coaxial HD cameras:

1. Connect the camera's video output to the CVBS/Coax Terminal on the back panel.
2. If the camera requires power, use the appropriate DC power output (12V/3A, 24V/1A) from the tester.
3. On the main screen, tap 'CVBS & HD' to open the video input interface.
4. The tester supports viewing AHD, TVI, and CVI cameras in different formats, with a maximum resolution of 8MP (3840x2156 at 15fps).
5. Use the 'Photo Taking' and 'Video Recording' functions within the application for documentation.

5.2. IP Camera Test (ONVIF)

For IP camera testing:

1. Connect the network cable from the IP camera to the LAN interface of the tester.
2. Ensure the camera is powered, either externally or via the tester's PoE output.
3. On the main screen, tap 'IP Camera' to access IP detection and video functions.
4. The tester supports 4K H.265 IP camera testing, real-time video display without delay, and allows for video snapshots, recording, and playback.
5. Utilize the built-in ONVIF tool for compatibility with various manufacturers like DAHUA, HIKVISION, ACTI, and SAMSUNG.

5.3. HDMI High-Definition Signal Input/Output

The tester supports HDMI high-definition signal input (up to 1080p 60fps) and output. This allows for direct debugging of DVR/NVR systems or using the tester as a replacement monitor.

1. HDMI Input: Connect the HDMI output of a DVR/NVR to the HDMI IN port on the tester. Select the HDMI Input application to view the signal.
2. HDMI Output: Connect the HDMI OUT port of the tester to an external display.
