New model for 60FPS(NTSC) / 50FPS(PAL) recording rate
The V1.20 (and later version) software can support 60FPS(NTSC) /
50FPS(PAL) recording rate on a high-end EDR1600 model. The
new model has a “2x/fps” label on its front panel. Please contact
your supplier for the new model.
Note 1: For the new model, 30FPS(NTSC)/25FPS(PAL) is allocated
to odd-numbered (1, 3, 5, .., 15) cameras, and the other 30/25FPS to
even-numbered (2, 4, 6, .., 16) cameras. That makes a total of
60FPS(NTSC)/50FPS(PAL) for the new model.
Note 2: If the machine is V1.10 or older, please Setup CMOS before
make the necessary hardware upgrade to make it the new model.
For the Setup of CMOS data, please refer to the following paragraph.
However, you don’t have to press F1 because it’s just for abnormal
booting of the system.
Note 3: For the new model to reach 60FPS(NTSC)/50FPS(PAL), the
recording quality may have to be configured as 2 or less than 2.
However, that depends on the cameras connected to the system and
some other factors. Please do some tests for the trade-off between
recording quality and recording rate.
CMOS data recovery
If after booting the EDR1600, the system halts and the LED for the
floppy drive is always OFF, the CMOS data of the system may be lost.
Please Insert the V1.20 (or later version) installation diskette into the
floppy drive, and then press F1(about 15 seconds after power on).
Press 2 “Setup CMOS only” when the installation menu is shown.
If the system is running well after you recover its CMOS data, please
login as Administrator and update the DATE/TIME of the system.
Limitations for hot-swapping hard disks
For HDD#2 to be accessible, make sure HDD#2 exists at system power
up or HDD#1 power up. Afterwards, you may hot-swap HDD#2
anytime except when it's recording. For the other hard disks, there are
no limitations for hot-swap.
Note 1: HDD#2 being not accessible is caused by the misbehavior of
HDD#1 at hot-swap. (HDD#1 responds to all commands sent to
