Configure Recording Settings, Multiplexer Setup

4. BASIC OPERATIONS

This section shows you how to operate and manage the DVR.

4.1 Configure Recording Settings

Recording Time settings (Recording Rate and Picture Quality Setting)

Recording time will vary depending on the image size, recording rate, and the capacity of th e hard disk drives. Generally, the DVR comes with a built-in hard disk drive for continuous recording from one to four weeks under most recording conditions. Table 4.1.2 shows the possible recording times based on an 80GB hard disk drive at certain refresh rates and the corresponding image quality. With one or more hard disk drive(s) in operation, please calculate the necessary recording time using the table below. For example, if the unit is set to record images with BEST quality at a 60 fps record rate, n ormally an 80GB hard disk drive will be filled in 15 hours (See the gray area in the table). If a 240GB hard disk drive is in use under the same refresh rate and picture quality, it will be filled in 45 hours (3 times the rate of an 80GB hard disk drive).

Set up the REC Time Mode when a multiplexer is connected

If a multiplexer is connected, for optimum image recording and playback, the record speed of the multiplexer must be correctly adjusted to match the DVR and set the MULTIPLEXER option on the setup menu to ON. This can be done by the method detailed below.

4.1.1 Multiplexer Setup

Connect the SW. OUT terminal in 9-PIN D-SUB connector on the rear panel of the DVR to the multiplexer’s trigger contact. The DVR will provide the timing signal to the multiplexer.

Note: The DVR will only send out a timing signal while it is in RECORD mode.

In the multiplexer’s menu, set the recording mode to SYNC for recording in all DVR refresh rates except 60fps and 30fps. In SYNC mode, if the DVR changes the recor ding speed, the multiplexer will automatically adjust the recording to match. Be sure to set your multiplexer’s timing signal to falling. If you wish to record in 60fps or 30fps, put the multiplexer in real -time instead of SYNC. 60fps and 30fps timing signals are constantly negative/falling.

SLD240 specifications
