Multi-channel recording modes 

The MPEG4000-D4 can perform recording of up to four channels at full resolution 

during multi-channel recording at a configurable frame rates. 

There is the option to record only video or both video and audio. 

Video from the four frame grabber channels A, B, C and D is recorded as 4 

separate and individual streams. In this mode, encoding parameters can be set 

for each channel on a per-channel basis allowing different settings for each of the 

channels. Each channel may be recorded with or without audio.  

Frame rates 

The default frame rates are 29.97fps and 25fps for NTSC and PAL respectively. 

However, for increased flexibility, additional fractional frame rates are supported.  

Please see the software reference manual for further details.
