4.2  HOME SCREEN 

 
The home screen shows a lot of information about the current status of the SSR.  If errors occur 
they are shown in the TOP section with an error code and a brief explanation.  Most errors can be 
dismissed after the error condition is removed. This is the case, for example, with an error 
indicating that recording was attempted in the absence of input video.  Critical system errors, 
such as hardware failure, will cause a full screen error message to be displayed, and will disable 
further recorder operation. (see Appendix A for more information about Error Messages). 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Previous recordings are reviewed by using the 4 basic transport controls provided.  Pushing the 
Previous

playback.  Playback will continue until the end of all recordings is reached or when Stop 

F4

 is 

pushed. 
 
You can safely start recording at any time, either by pushing the SSR 

REC

ord key, or by pushing 

the Genesis camera record button.  This will automatically create a new clip and recording will 
start after all existing material. Starting to record will never erase previous recordings. 
 
If you push Play 

F3 

after pushing the 

REC

ord key to stop a recording, the SSR will playback the 

last clip from the beginning. This “record review” option, indicated by a highlighting of the play 
icon, disappears as soon as you push another button on the SSR.
