SELECTING THE EXPORT FORMAT

The DX8100 allows you to select the export format. The following table shows the available export formats.

NOTE: The computer must meet the recommended remote client PC system requirements to play back video (including recorded audio) exported in the native, AVI, and ASF formats. Refer to Recommended System Requirements in the DX8100 Series Client Application Software Operation/ Configuration manual (C2631M) for more information.

•Native format: When exporting video in the native format, the DX8100 embeds a digital watermark in the video stream for the purpose of authentication. Watermarking ensures that an image has not been edited or damaged after it has been recorded. The watermark is an encrypted, digital signature embedded in the video stream during the compression stage, protecting the video from the moment of creation. The DX8100 Viewer software is capable of reading a DX8100 watermark and verifying the originality of the video.

•AVI or ASF format: Video exported in AVI or ASF format can be viewed using standard viewer software such as Windows Media Player. When exporting video in the native format to a CD or DVD device, the DX8100 will automatically include the DX8100 Viewer application along with the video. This viewer is designed to play a variety of still image, video, and audio media formats, including the native DX8100 format. The DX8100 Viewer application will automatically run each time a CD or DVD created by the DX8100’s export feature is inserted into a Windows-based PC. To ensure that the viewer software runs automatically after the disk has been inserted, verify that the auto-run feature of your PC’s optical drive has not been disabled.
