Menu Option
Action taken
SET SIGNAL TYPE
The recorder can be set to one of three signal types, either DV, NTSC
or DV, PAL, or HDV.
Note
that changing between signal types will
mean that ALL video content already recorded will need to be erased.
Note
that the current selection will be marked with an asterisk [*].
SET FAT32/NTFS
This option chooses the computer’s file system to emulate, NTFS or
FAT32. Note that FAT32 has a 2GB file size limitation so clips longer
than 2GB are split into approximately 2GB files with no frames
dropped. The NTFS emulation results in larger files.
Note
that the current selection will be marked with an asterisk [*].
MAKE FILE FOR ?
User can choose between BIN or DISK.
If BIN is selected then only the video in the current BIN is wrapped in
the pre-selected file type wrapper.
If DISK is selected then ALL video is wrapped in the pre-selected file
type wrapper.
Note
that the current selection will be marked with an asterisk [*].

name Mediapac xx. This option sets the xx value. A useful feature
when connecting multiple volumes at the same time as from a multi-
shoot.

and store any type of data on it, with complete confidence that the
video recorder will not alter it.
