The NV8500 family of routers supports the monitoring of output and input signals. (Older
routers support only output monitors.)
Your system will use third-party monitoring equipment to receive monitor signals from the
router.
UniConfig is used to create a monitor level. Operators can then perform takes of either router
inputs or router outputs to outputs on the monitor level.
NV8500 control cards running application versions 13.0.3.xx and older support output monitors
only. NV8500 control cards running application versions 14.0.0.xx and newer support both input
and output monitors.
To access and control monitor cards and monitor signals properly, a monitor level must be
configured using either UniConfig v8.9.0.42, or later, or MRC.

The NV8500 family comprises the following routers:
The NV8140 does not support monitoring.
