# How to Configure CVBS Display on an XVR

### Description:

The CVBS port (Composite Video Baseband Signal) on the back of an XVR is used for analog video output. The CVBS port provides a standard analog video signal that can be displayed on older monitors, TVs, or secondary displays. It’s particularly useful when using older equipment that does not support HDMI or VGA connections.
