Menu Option
Action taken
SET RECORD FILE
TYPE
Where the choice of file type is made for all recordings.
Note
that file types cannot be mixed within a bin.
Choices are .mov, 2 types of .avi, .mxf and for HDV, .m2t only.
Note
that the current selection will be marked with an asterisk [*].
SYNCtoTAPE
CONTROL
Where the recorder will look to the time code changing to indicate the
need to record. If the time code pauses then the recording is paused.
With this setting turned off, the record process will continue regardless of
the time code behaviour.
Note
that the current selection will be marked with an asterisk [*].
SET RECORD DATE
This option modifies the date attribute of the created file when the source
is analogue CVBS. It is also used when the source is digital if the date in
the digital source is invalid.
RECORD PRE-
TRIGGER
When enabled, the last 8 seconds of video prior to the record trigger are
captured ahead of the video following the trigger.
Note
that the pre trigger is not remembered across power cycles.
SET DEFAULT DV
AUDIO
When the source is analogue CVBS, this option sets the audio sampling
frequency. When the source is digital, this option helps the recorder
make a correct guess for the incoming audio sampling frequency.
Note
that the current selection will be marked with an asterisk [*].
SET ASPECT RATIO
When the source is analogue CVBS, this option sets the 16:9 or 4:3
aspect ratio flag in the stream to be recorded. For DV or HDV recordings
ensure the source equipment is set correctly for the desired aspect.
TIMELAPSE RECORD
Allows the DV25 recording of video at slower than real time through a
choice of one of 6 options.
Note
that the current selection will be marked with an asterisk [*].
PWR ON AUTO
RECORD
When enabled, the recorder will go directly into a record mode in the last
BIN selected once power is applied.
