10) FILE RETRIEVAL
To view / listen to your recordings, you first need to
connect the uCorder to a computer via the USB cable.
The Internal Flash memory is recognized by the system
as a Memory Drive, similar to a USB memory stick.
If you have inserted a Micro SD card, it will appear as a
separate Memory Drive. By default, recordings go to the
Micro SD memory first (until the memory is full) before
using the Internal Flash memory.
Depending on the settings in your Operating System, you
may see an alert / prompt to open the files in the newly
detected drive (or multiple drives if a Micro SD card is
inserted).
You can go to My Computer in Windows and see the
connected memory drives. They will appear similar to:
Note: “uCorder1GB” or “uCorder2GB” is the name
assigned to the Internal Flash memory. The Micro SD
card name varies by manufacturer, but can be changed.
11) PLAY FILES
Upon opening the memory drive, you will find a main
folder titled “uCorder”.
Double-click on the folder to open it and find two sub-
folders: AUDIO and VIDEO.
The AUDIO folder contains a list of all Audio recordings
in WAV format and the VIDEO folder contains the Video
recordings in AVI format. Files are named numerically.
You can double-click on the files and play them directly
from the uCorder memory. Alternatively, you can copy
them to a folder on your computer and delete the files
from the device memory.
The AVI video files and WAV audio files will open in your
default media player for each file extension. Windows
Media Player and QuickTime are recommended players
for these standard type of files.
If you are unable to see video, you need to download the
appropriate video codec pack to support AVI files.
12) IRDC250 - DUAL USB FUNCTION
Sections 11-12 are only applicable if you purchased the
IRDC250 model with Webcam functionality.
The IRDC250 can be set to serve as either:
1) a USB memory device (USB);
or
2) a Webcam (PC CAM).
To alternate between modes, note
the options on the selector switch.
When set to USB mode, the Green LED will illuminate
upon connection to computer to indicate File Retrieval.
The operation in USB mode is described in section #10.
To access the Webcam functionality, the selector switch
must be set to PC CAM
before
connecting to the
computer.
Note: the system will not accept changes from USB to
PC CAM mode while the uCorder is connected to the
computer. To change modes, you need to disconnect
the cable, set the selector switch as required and then
reconnect.
13) IRDC250 - WEBCAM FUNCTION
When set to PC CAM mode, the Blue LED will illuminate
upon connection to computer.
The uCorder will be recognized by the operating system
as a Video Device rather than a disk drive. The Webcam
can be integrated into Chat programs including MSN
Messenger and Skype.
For some Chat or Conferencing applications, you will first
need to “initialize” the Webcam. Go to My Computer,
and you will find the uCorder appearing as a USB Video
Device listed under “Scanners and Cameras”.
Double-click the USB Video Device icon. The device will
initialize and live video will appear. The webcam is now
ready for integration with virtually any live messaging
software.
Note: for best results, download the latest version of the
chat program being used (eg: Messenger 2009 / Skype 4).
14) TIPS / GOOD PRACTICES
Following these guidelines will optimize your experience
with the uCorder.
1)
Charge the unit completely
- the uCorder needs a few
hours to fully charge the same way that a cell phone
does. Please be patient.
2)
Safely remove the device
- when disconnecting the
uCorder from the computer, be sure to follow the
“Safely Remove Hardware” process used by your
operating system.
3)
Bright Light
- for best results, the uCorder is intended
for video recording under bright lighting conditions.
4)
Remember to turn OFF
- once you have made a
recording and do not anticipate further immediate
recordings, it’s best to turn the uCorder OFF and
conserve its battery life.
5)
Recharge
- once you see the Red light flashing on the
unit, that means it’s time to refuel the battery by simply
connecting to your computer.
