RETRO DISK

The Retro Disk mode records video in a continuous loop to a user-defined portion of disk space. Pressing record seamlessly begins active recording. The Retro Disk session is appended to the beginning of the new clip. The result is a set of clips beginning with the cached video and continuing with the newly recorded video.

•Loops less than 60 minutes, need an additional 1 minute of unused disk space.

•Loops 60 minutes and greater, require an additional 2GB of unused disk space.

•When looping less than one hour, Retro Disk records the loop in a series of 1 minute clips.
