To stop recording, just press the button again, will see indicator ash few seconds then turns o, means the record is stop, now you can take o your USB ash (or SD card).

Note: please do not take the memory o when the indicator is ashing. The recording will automatically stop if the USB ash or SD card out of memory.

After recording is stopped, connect the USB ash or SD card to computer to see the recorded les: for 1080P recording, le will be Encode_1080P_1, for 720 or 480p recording, le will be Encode_1.

Every record/stop operation will create a dierent recording le: Encode_1080P_1, Encode_1080P_2, Encode_1080P_3… and so on.

The max size per le will be around 1.95GB (around 15 minutes for 1080p video), when you record a video more than 1.95GB (15 minutes), PVRC52 will partition it in more than 1 le, for example: if you record a 45 minutes 1080p video by one click recording, you will see 3 les: Encode_1080P_1, Encode_1080P_1_1, Encode_1080P_1_2…and so on

Sometimes you may nd some recorded video with problems, like: skip. This is due to using a USB ash on NTFS format, and you haven’t click “safety remove” the device when disconnect from computer (especially for USB HDD, if not safety remove, may caused serious problem). You might need to format it to FAT32 if that problem keeps happening.

FIRMWARE AND OTHERS:

1. Update rmware: you maybe need update rmware for this device for some reason. Copy the rmware le in to USB disk or SD card, power o the device (unplug power jack), plug USB disk to device, power on, the record indicator will ash 7~8 seconds, and become blue, it means the update is nished.

2. After long time using, you will see the number of recording le become too big, for example Encode_1080P_234, but you want it be start from Encode_1080P_0, to do it you just keep pressing record button (before power on), then plug the power jack to power on the device, after 10 seconds, the le number will start from 0.

3. Change the date: you may nd out that the date of the recorded le is not synchronous with your local time. To change the time of PVRC52, you need create a TXT le name “rtc_setup” type your local date and time with following format (for 2014 July 31 11:00:00):

/:2014

/:0

Should be exactly same format as it (rst line be year, second line be month..etc, end with /:0 , each line with start “/:”), and save it. Then copy the rtc_setup le to a SD card or USB ash, connect to PVRC52 then power on, then the time is set ready.
