NVR5416-16P-4KS2E and Smart PSS help.

@EMPIRETECANDY

I'm having some initial setup problems.

1) HDMI 1 is my downstairs TV.

HDMI 2 is my upstairs TV.

I am using a HDMI extender from HDMI 2 to my upstairs TV. I am also using a USB extender connected to one of the USB ports on the NVR.

All I ever see on my upstairs TV is camera D2. I have tried changing the channel HDMI 2 using the settings below, to various channels. Nothing ever changes on the upstairs TV.

How do I get full control on my upstairs TV? I don't want to see just one channel. I want to be able to navigate the menus, look at recordings, etc. upstairs, exactly like I can downstairs. I want to be able to look at one channel or all channels, exactly as I can downstairs.

And why am only seeing channel D1?

As you can see, I tried setting the channel to "D5", and nothing changes upstairs, it's still D1.

My downstairs TV is 1080p, my upstairs 4K.

2) How do I access recordings using Smart PSS on my PC? I can only see live view.

What happens if I set HDMI to a resolution that my TV doesn't support? I changed HDMI1 to something higher than 1080p, just to see what would happen. I'm getting a blank screen now on the downstairs TV.

I wanted to see if it would change what was showing on the upstairs TV.

 

[nuraman00]

How do I reset the resolution on the HDMI inputs?

 

[nuraman00]

The upstairs TV is still showing D1.

 

[nuraman00]

Are you using a HDMI extender or splitter?

HDMI1 is connected directly to the downstairs TV. That's the 1080p TV. I had set HDMI1 to a higher resolution than 1080p to see if something would change.

HDMI2 is connected to a HDMI extender, which is going to the upstairs 4K TV. That's the one that always shows channel D1, no matter what. I also tried plugging the mouse into the USB extender, but nothing happens. As you can see in the screen shot, I tried selecting channel D5 for HDMI 2, just to see if it would stop showing channel D1. But it didn't.

I want to fix my downstairs TV.

I want full normal control on my upstairs TV, just like I had on the upstairs TV. I want to be able to view different channels, view playback, etc.

I don't know what happened to @jmcu's post. But that screen shot helped. I can see the PSS playback section now. I figured how how to playback. Great!

How do I reset the resolution on HDMI1 so it's 1080p?

Or how do I get full mouse control on my TV upstairs through HDMI 2 so I can change the settings? How do I change it so it stops showing channel D1?

 

[nuraman00]

Ok, I logged into my NVR through my web browser, then went to system, display, and changed HDMI 1 back to 1080p. Thank goodness.

 

[nuraman00]

So, my last remaining question in this thread. How do I get my upstairs TV to stop showing channel 1?

How can I have full control, and go to various system menus?

Why is it only showing channel 1? Based on the screen shot above, it should at least show channel 5.

 

[nuraman00]

Ok, I've got it so it's "touring" on HDMI 2 to the upstairs TV.

How can I get full system control on the upstairs TV from the mouse? I want access to all of the menus, just like I can on the downstairs TV.

I have the bottom USB mouse port controlling my downstairs TV.

I have the top USB mouse port going to a USB extender to the upstairs TV. But nothing happens when I try a mouse on the upstairs TV.

 

[nuraman00]

Ok, I realized that the USB extender still only controls what happens on the NVR downstairs. It doesn't control what happens upstairs.

It looks like there isn't a way for any of the USB ports to control what happens on HDMI 2.

I think my outstanding question is still how can I get full system control through HDMI 2 on the TV upstairs? It's pointless to just have it show one channel or have it tour through channels.

I want to be able to do whatever I can do downstairs, also upstairs.

Is this still possible to do through HDMI 2?

Or do I need a powered HDMI splitter, and to split HDMI 1?

 

[nuraman00]

If I am wrong about any of this, please let me know.

Bump?

@nuraman00
At least you have a video signal from your NVR5432. I have two NVR5432's with most current firmware and don't have any video output on the HDMI2 connector. I can use the menu bar trick on screen 1 to view/select what should be displayed on screen 2 but I can't seem to enable any actual video from the HDMI2 despite various setting combinations and reboots.

In your screenshot above, I don't have that last option settings line Screen No,: ____, Channel: ____, Audio Input: ____ even though I have Screen 2 enabled above.

Can I ask what NVR firmware version you are using?

I went to System-->Upgrade.

It says System version 3.215.0000001.0. Build Date 2018-03-26.

As for the issues earlier in this thread, I ended up using a powered HDMI splitter. So the downstairs TV and upstairs TV have the same video output.

I can control the TV downstairs with the mouse, by using the USB port on the front of the NVR.

Then I have a USB Extender, going to the upstairs TV. I then have a wireless mouse connected via USB to the TV upstairs. So I can control the menu upstairs too, using a mouse I keep upstairs.

This was the only way I could get all 8 camera feeds on both TVs, and also have mouse control over both TVs.
