Exporting Video
The DVR5100 allows you to export video as QuickTime MPEG-4 or Pelco video format (*.pef) and save the file to a USB device, CD-ROM, or DVD.
The default export format is QuickTime MPEG-4, but this may be changed during the export process o n the Enhanced Search dialog box. Exported
video clips can be quite large. Snapshots may be exported to a USB device. Be sure that the media to which you are exporting the video or
snapshot is attached to the DVR5100 or to an optional KBD5000 and that it contains sufficient storage space for the exported video or snapshot
before you start to export it.
NOTE: The instructions in this manual refer to the DVR5100 Control Pad. An optional KBD5000 keyboard or U SB PC keyboard and mouse also can
be used to operate the DVR5100 instead of the Control Pad. Refer to Understanding DVR Controls and Menus on page 13 for alternate keystrokes
if you any of these devices.
