CapDiv
™
Portable
DV Disk Recorder
Operation in VTR Emulation Mode
In order to record with CapDiv
™
, the unit must be placed in the VTR Emulation
mode by switching the three-position Mode Switch on the Rear Panel to VTR.
CapDiv
™
is designed to operate in the same familiar manner in which you
operate your VTR. When CapDiv
™
is in the VTR Emulation mode it will “slave”
to the controls on your camcorder. For example, when you press the
RECORD
button on your camcorder CapDiv
™
will automatically start recording.
CapDiv
™
can be configured for either automatic or manual recording.
General Media Organization
The storage volume in the VTR mode can be logically separated in up to nine-
ty-nine (99) BINs. Each BIN can be logically separated in up to one hundred
twenty-eight (128) recorded video clips. A BIN is analogous to a tape
in a VTR with a series of recorded video clips on the tape. CapDiv
™
always
defaults to BIN 01 upon power-up or entering Idle mode.
All video clips within a given BIN are recorded end-to-end with their start
points recorded as “Marks”. The size of a BIN can be made to take the entire
available storage space of the HDD or only a few frames. Each BIN can have
up to 128 video clips appended to it at any time provided there is still time
remaining on the overall HDD storage volume. Clips and BINs are automati-
cally added in sequence, but only BINs are actually numbered. The start of
each clip is identified by a Mark that can only be referenced by advancing
sequentially through the clips within a BIN. In the HDD mode, each BIN is rep-
resented as a folder and the clips appear as files. An individual clip, once
recorded, cannot be erased. Only the total content of an
individual BIN can be erased.
