entertainment product after DVD.
2.What is DVR?
The DVR adopts hard disc as the signal storage media.
It also adopts real-time capture, real-time compression,
and real-time coding and storage technologies for
analogue video signal to realize the large capacity and
long time digital video recording realization should be
based on embedded computer and embedded operation
system. Hence, while realizing the digital video recording
function, DVR also such functions as timing recording.
Alarm trigger recording, time shifting, copy, network
transport and monitoring. In addition, the function
increase can be achieved only via upgrade software.
3.Advantages of DVR
Huge capacity hard disc for long time information storage.
For example, 40G hard disc can record image and sound
information for almost 20 hours under MPEG-2
compression and coding standard.
Hard disc will be affected little by the environment.
Unusable situation resulting from long time storage will
not occur.
The content stored in the hard disc can be played many
times without damage.
The content is stored in the disc in data file mode, which
DVR-˵Ã÷Êé.p65 03-9-16, 15:1817

APPENDIX
can be copied directly to computer or other unit via various interfaces and will not cause copy loss for image
and sound at all.
The information source stored in the hard disc can be
held flexibly and can be deleted at any time if it is
unnecessary, which will not affect other information. The

disk in file mode or send it out via network without any
data stock and loss. To realize continuous audio image
playing, the frame rate should be over 24. Therefore, the
real-time coding/decoding technology requires the entire system speed to be fast enough. Otherwise, only
through reducing the image quality and data quantity can
the requirement be met.
