ESTIMATING RECORDING TIME

When using the Timer Program, there may be instances where, because of maximum re- cording fields, image quality, and audio recording settings, there is insufficient recording space on the unit’s hard disk drive to complete the recordings as programmed.

When the maximum recording fields setting differs in the Normal Rec Setting menu and Timer Program menu, the possible recording duration will differ from the duration displayed in ESTD TIME field in the Normal Rec Setting menu.

When setting the timer for multiple programs, refer to the DX3009 Recording Time Tables section or DX3016 Recording Time Tables section to confirm the amount of hard disk space the recording duration will take up under different setting conditions.

Using the Timer Program settings below as an example of estimating possible recording dura- tion, the chart below shows that everything is recorded on the sixth day, and on the seventh day only 1.1% of Program 2 content is recorded on the hard disk drive. (Conditions: Image Quality is set to HIGH, Audio Recording is set to OFF, built-in 30 GB hard disk drive.) The cal- culation is derived as follows: Program 1 uses 5.3% of the disk space per day. In six days it uses 31.8% (5.3 times 6). Program 2 uses 10.3% per day or 61.8% in six days (10.3 times 6).

In six days 93.6% of the disk space has been used (31.8 plus 61.8). This leaves 6.4% available at the beginning of day seven. After Program 1 finishes recording only 1.1% is left for Program 2 (6.4 minus 5.3).
