4. BASIC OPERATIONS

This section shows you how to operate and manage the DVR when it gets in the way.

Recording Time settings (Recording Rate and Picture Quality Setting)

Recording time will vary depending on the image size, recor ding rate, and the capacity of the hard- disk

drives. Generally, the DVR comes with a built-in hard-disk drive for continuous rec ording from one to

four weeks under most recording conditions. The table below shows the possible recording times based

on a 80GB hard-disk drive at certain refresh rates and the corresponding image qua lity. With one or

more hard-disk drive(s) in operation, please calc ulate the recording tim e using the table below in

accordance with your requirem ent. For a NTSC unit, for exam ple, if the unit is set to record images with

BEST quality at a 60 fps record rate, normally a 80GB hard-disk drive will be filled in 15 hours (See the

gray area in the table). If the total capacit y of 240GB hard-disk drives is in use under the same refresh

rate and picture quality, it will be filled in 45 hours (3 times the rate of a 80GB hard-disk drive).

Set up the REC Time Mode when a multiplexer is connected

If a multiplexer is connected, for optimum image recording and playback, the record speed of the

multiplexer must be correctly adjusted to match the DVR an d set the MULTIPLEXER option on the

setup menu to ON. This can be done by either of methods detailed below.

Connect the SW. OUT terminal in 9-PIN D-SUB connector on the rear panel of the DVR to the

multiplexer’s trigger contact. The DVR will provide the timing signal (Negative/Falling) to the multiplexer.

Thus, if the DVR changes the recording speed, the multiplexer will automatically adjust the record to

match. A 2-hour and 4-hour timing signal in NTSC or a 3-hour and 6-hour one in PAL is constantly

negative/falling.

11. Index Table

The following description details how the DVR manages an index table issue.

The DVR will generate a time index table indicating recorded data is kept in a particular HDD. This

allows to individually selecting recorded data to be displayed via the alarm list search and full list

search. The maximum num ber of lists, for a given HDD, is 3000. When the list of any given HDD is

used up-and the disk is not full, The unit will still use the rest of the s pace for recording. In such a

case, an index for the recent recorded data will be generated and the index of the next oldest data

will be erased so that the list does remain 3000 in total. And the next oldest data will be kept in the

index of the corresponding oldest data. For any newly-recorded data, this approach will be applied

until the disk becomes full.
