6.1 The Recorder Application Window
This section of the recorder application shows you that you are in record mode and allows you to switch to the
available play, record and transcode modes. The only available record modes on the Merlin board are “MPEG-2
(4:2:0)”, “MPEG-2 (4:2:2)”, and “MPEG-1”. The DV to MPEG transcode modes will be available soon.
“MPEG-2 (4:2:0)” mode lets you record up to 15 Mbs and “MPEG-2 (4:2:2)” mode lets you record up to 50 Mbs.
“MPEG-2 (4:2:2)” mode is used for higher quality recording, but does not let you record using back to back B
frames which are useful for obtaining better quality recordings at lower bitrates.
This section of the recorder application shows you that you are in NTSC mode and allows you to switch to PAL
mode.
