DTL-960e Single Colour Channel Digital Video Recorder
USING CD RECORDERS
CD-ROM disks can be created by attaching a SCSI CD Recording device to the SCSI port of the Digital Recorder. The unit
may be a CD Recordable (CD-R), or a CD Rewritable (CD-RW) device.
Requirements are:
Minimum Write Speed = 4X
Minimum Read Speed = 16X
The CD recorder must have a cable that connects to a standard 50-pin High Density SCSI-2 port. The address must be
set to Zero (0), and the cable must be properly terminated at 110 Ohms. Failure may result in error messages being
displayed on the Digital Recorder when attempting to create CDs.
Do not attempt to archive to the CD unit without a CD properly inserted into the unit. Doing so will generate a
MEDIUM NOT
PRESENT
error message.
Creating a CD-ROM with Video Files
In the
Operator
menu, highlight
Archive Setup
and press the
Enter
button. In the resulting sub-menu, highlight
Selective
Archive
, and press the
Enter
button. The
Search Filters
menu is displayed. In this menu, the user can search the hard
disk for recorded events, such as an alarm condition. These events can then be archived for later viewing. For more
details on archiving recorded events to CD, see page 25.
It should be noted that the maximum amount of video data that can be archived on a CD is about 500MB, due to the
overhead and housekeeping requirements of the system. If the data to be archived is larger than this, it will not be
possible to archive. This is why it is important to filter searches until the data is of a size that can be archived.
Limitations on CD Operations
Restoring (copying a file from a CD to the Digital Recorder hard disk drive) is not supported.
Erasing a file recorded on a CD is not supported.
Playback of files recorded on a CD, through the Digital Recorder, is not supported.
