CapDiv ™ Portable
DV Disk Recorder
Idle mode
When CapDiv
™
is first switched to VTR Emulation mode it defaults to Idle
mode to await commands. In the Idle mode, CapDiv
™
is neither playing nor
recording. It is from Idle mode that CapDiv
™
functions such as PLAY or
RECORD can be selected. When in Idle mode the user can select BINs. The two
Soft Keys annotated “PREVIOUS” and “NEXT” refer to scrolling through asso-
ciated sequential BIN numbers. Holding down either Soft Key beyond 1.5 sec-
onds will cause the BIN count speed to increase and advance rapidly in the
chosen direction. After exiting PLAY mode, Idle mode switches to its subset,
STOP mode. When CapDiv
™
is in STOP mode, the STOP icon appears between
the words “PREVIOUS” and “NEXT” on the bottom line of the LCD Display. In
STOP mode, the TimeCode displayed on the top line of the LCD Display is the
TimeCode of the last video frame played. At all other times, the TimeCode dis-
played indicates the total duration of the content present in that BIN.
Recording
Recording with CapDiv
™
is simple & intuitive. CapDiv
™
emulates both VTR and
camcorder recording methods by providing two recording options for the user:
Manual Record with Sync-to-Tape Disabled
In Manual Record, CapDiv
™
emulates the VTR recording method and the
SYNC-TO-TAPE mode “OFF” is enabled. This means that CapDiv
™
will start
recording as soon as the two front panel buttons, PLAY and RECORD, on
CapDiv
™
are simultaneously depressed. Step 1: Hold the RECORD button
and press the PLAY button at the same time. (This is a standard two-button
record method utilizing the front panel control buttons.)
NOTES:
• Some camcorders will issue a RECORD command via the IEEE 1394 cable
when the RECORD button is depressed. In this case, even if CapDiv
™
is left in
the SYNC-TO-TAPE mode “OFF”, it will automatically begin recording when
the RECORD button is pressed on the camcorder – regardless of the
SYNC-TO-TAPE mode condition.
