LANGUAGE SELECTION
By default the X300 menu system is displayed in the English language.
Timespace Technology can provide a language template file which the user can translate and return to
Timespace Technology for incorporation into the X300 software. This will allow all text displayed on the
Reviewer to be in the users preferred language.
Language is selected in the SYSTEM SETTINGS > RESET menu. The X300 requires a power cycled
before the new language settings will take effect.
VIDEO STANDARD - PAL / NTSC
The X300 offers the ability to switch between different video standards; PAL and NTSC.
PAL
(Phase Alternating Line) is the standard used in most European countries with the exception of
France. The X300, when configured to use PAL, offers a maximum capture rate of 25 fields per
second.
NTSC
(National Television Standards Committee) is the standard used in the United States of America.
The X300, when configured to use NTSC, offers a maximum capture rate of 30 fields per second.
When configured to use one of these standards, the X300 must use it exclusively. This means that
cameras of different types cannot be mixed on the device‟s inputs.
Note that if the unit is configured for PAL and an attempt is made to play back NTSC recordings, the
image will appear vertically „squashed‟. Similarly, if the unit is configured for NTSC and an attempt is
made to playback PAL recordings, the image will be clipped.
Switching Video Standards
To switch between the required video standard, the user must configure the unit using the SETTINGS >
SYSTEM SETTINGS > CAMERA OPTIONS > VIDEO SETTINGS menu. Once the selection has been
made the unit must be power cycled before it comes into effect. PAL is the default setting.
FILE SYSTEM
The X300 uses a proprietary file type with the file extension .XBA. Images from multiple cameras along
with audio, GPS and other meta data are stored in these files. The X300 stores XBA files on the
cartridge in a loop over the physical disk and does not use a fragmented file structure. The X300 uses a
linking mechanism (FAT area) for PC compatibility. This compatibility conforms to the Microsoft
standard FAT32 filesystem
that is compatible on all PC‟s and many other systems.
Two types of File System behaviour are available on the X300; Loop and Single Pass.
Loop Recording
The X300 will automatically delete the oldest recordings first when the Hard Disk Cartridge is full (with
the exception of write-protected files). Write-protection can be used to keep Alarm recordings but loop
the background (Normal) recording.
Single Pass Recording
The X300 records until the Hard Disk Cartridge is full and then stops.
Recordings may be deleted in the SETTINGS > SYSTEM SETTINGS > RESET menu or loop recording
enabled so that the oldest files will be overwritten first. The File System Recording Mode is set in the
SETTINGS > SYSTEM SETTINGS > FILE SYSTEM menu.
