For local playback, the
DGy 201x
is typically configured to replay from
the installed internal drive(s) to the analog RGB or DVI outputs, as
shown in the figure below.

A Windows
software application supplied by RGB Spectrum can be used
to replay
DGy 201x
recordings directly on a PC. The quality level will be
the same, but at reduced frame rates. This application works with the
standard Windows Media Player (version 9 and above) to provide basic
transport functions including play, pause and stop.
This application can be used to replay recordings in the following ways:
•
Recordings copied from a
DGy 201x
to the PC local drive using
TCP/IP file transfer protocol (FTP).
•
Recordings played from a
DGy 201x
removable drive inserted in
an appropriately configured PC equipped with a compatible
removable disk drive bay. The
DGy 201x
uses the ext2 file
system found with the Linux operating system. PCs running the
Windows operating system will require additional software in
order to mount the drive. This software is commercially
available.
Playback quality is high, but note that the playback frame rate is limited
by the performance of the selected PC. As an example, a PC equipped
with a Pentium® 4, 3GHz processor with 512 MB of memory will
typically play a 1280 x 1024 recording at 5 to 6 frames per second.

RECORD/REPLAY

OPTION
The
DGy 201x
supports the optional playback from disk while
concurrently recording new material. Record and play start and stop
times are independent.
Additional codec circuitry is factory installed to use the Simultaneous
Record/Play option on the
DGy 201x
. The presence of this option can be
confirmed by viewing the
Web Control Panel Configuration Window
(page 22).
