Overview
The
NDT 200™
is a standalone, handheld, digital video recorder with exceptional image quality, featuring
scalable motion JPEG compression at an outstanding 720 x 480 pixel image resolution. The dvr records
up to 26 hours at a 20:1 compression with readily available SATA hard drives. The recorder is equipped
for downloadable files via an on-board USB 2.0 port and is powered by the supplied 9V power supply.
The NDT 200™ is designed to develop and evolve as the industry changes. New features are
implemented regularly, most of which can be easily implemented by updating the DVR’s firmware,
downloadable via the support page of FFV’s Web site,
http://www.ffv.com
(see page 8 for instructions).
Some features are paid options available at additional cost.
The M-JPEG compression settings are user selectable from 4:1 to 20:1. In practice, it is advisable to set
the compression to correspond with the best quality to storage ratio. A setting of 4:1 is a good setting for
Digi-Betacam images, 7:1 for general purpose Betacam images, 10:1 for S-VHS, 15:1 for VHS. The rule
of thumb for minutes of storage generally available is compression ratio times gigabytes available;
example: 10:1 compression ratio x 0.8 = 8 Minutes/GB * 4 gigabytes = 32 Minutes recording time.
