 CBR/VBR

This item allows users to select an encoding method for the unit.

CBR, standing for Constant Bit Rate, means a way to encode a file at a fixed

rate. That also indicates a CBR file has consistent file size and quality.

VBR, standing for Variable Bit Rate, allocates an appropriate amount of data

per second, depending on the complexity of the video file.

It's strongly suggested to use VBR encoding when reliable video quality is the

top priority.

NOTE: Since a VBR file doesn't have a fixed size, the HDD space

usage cannot be calculated and thus ezRecord function is not

supported for VBR mode. Therefore, if ezRecord is selected as the

preset record configuration, the option of this menu item will

automatically be set as <CBR>.

< Schedule Setup >

These preset conditions <Best Quality>, <Standard>, <Extended Record>, <Event Only>,

<ezRecord >, <512Kbps DSL>, <256Kbps DSL>, and <128Kbps DSL> override any other

 Normal PPS

Normal PPS is used to set the recording rate for normal status.

Please note that the total normal PPS of all channels cannot exceed the maximum

PPS of each Record mode. To increase one channel’s PPS, others’ may have to

be reduced first. Event PPS is not restricted to this rule, since a smart event

scheduler will handle to the total PPS with a correct weighting. For example, if

channel 1 is set to event mode with 30PPS, the remaining 30 PPS will be equally

distributed to other 15 channels, which means each channel will be set to 2 PPS.

Appendix E: HDD Copy Tool (EXT2IFS)

The data system of the DVR’s HDD is totally different from Windows® based PC. So if users

just simply plug the HDD onto the PC, the PC will not recognize its existence. Hence, to

access data from the DVR’s HDD, users will need a special HDD Copy Tool driver called

EXT2IFS. This appendix section will introduce how to download, install, and setup

EXT2IFS and the DVR’s HDD.

Installation of the DVR’s HDD

EXT2IFS can be found on the website: http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ext2ifs.htm. A

detailed description about the driver can also be found. Plug in the DVR’s HDD to the PC,

then follow the steps below.

Step 1. Download EXT2IFS to the PC from the website listed above.

Step 2. Extract the EXT2IFS driver that was just downloaded. Open the extracted folder

and double click on “service.exe”, and the window below will be displayed.
