USB Operation 

 

The USB connection has two uses in the NDT 200, File Download and Remote Control/Configuration. 
 

File Download

 allows the user to view recorded video using the QuickTime player on a computer. 

 
The drivers are included in Windows 2000 and Windows XP for the connection.  The drive should show 
up as an external drive when the USB cable is connected, the DVR is powered On, and the “Set USB 
Disk Connection” setting is set to CONN, unless the unit is in Record.  The DVR will not allow USB 
access when recording since all data on the drive could be damaged / deleted by doing so.  Connecting 
the USB cable during Play will change the Motion State to Pass-Thru, since the DVR and the USB cannot 
access the drive simultaneously.  
 
The files containing video will have long filenames the same as the clip title and this numerical 
information to separate multiple files of the same clip: AAAABB, where the ‘AAAA’ and ‘BB’ are 
hexadecimal numbers; the digits ‘BB’ increment from lower to higher for as many files as are in one clip.  
All other files on the drive are not video files, and therefore, are not playable.  The FAT32 format limits file 
size to 2 GB.  Long video clips will span file boundaries. 
 
Video requires a fast computer to play smoothly in real time.  If your video does not play smoothly, 
QuickTime Pro has a setting under the Movie tab to “Play All Frames”.  This slows the video to the speed 
of the computer, but shows all of the frames recorded. 
 
Audio in QuickTime files is Single Channel from the Left Input. 
 

Remote Control / Configuration 

requires the user to load a driver for the USB to Serial IC.  Following 

this installation, DVR Master software connects to the NDT 200™ via a USB port to allow the user to 
configure and control the unit using the computer.  User can write control code using Serial Protocol.

 

 
 

Trigger Operation 
 

Trigger input is held high in the unit.  When pulled low, unit records.  When low is removed, unit stops 
recording.
