Finalizing AN Export Process

This section describes how to finalize an export process. The following guidelines are applicable:

•Audio export is available only with DX8100 native, AVI, and ASF video formats.

•Real Time setting applies only to DX8100 native, AVI, and ASF video formats.

•When the Real Time check box is selected, the DX8100 will export video so it can be played back in real time (30 fps) for the same length of time as the original recording. For example, if video was recorded at 1 fps, this means the DX8100 will insert 29 null frames for every one frame of actual video. Thus, one minute of video recorded at 1 fps (60 frames total) will play back for one minute at 30 frames per second (60 frames of actual video interspersed with 1,740 null frames). If the Real Time check box is not selected, one minute of video recorded at 1 fps will play back in two seconds in real time.

Figure 73 illustrates the two video streams: 1) one padded with null frames to match the actual time duration and 2) another stream without null frames.

To finalize the export process:

1.Make sure that the export media selected is inserted in the drive unit that the drive is ready.

2.In the Time Range table, click selection box for each backed-up video time range you want to export.

3.In the Export Format section, do the following:

a.Click the Audio Record check box to include recorded audio.

b.Click the Real Time check box to export video using standard clock time.

4.Click Export to export video data.

STOPPING AN EXPORT WHILE IN PROCESS

Once an export operation has begun, a user can easily stop it by interrupting or canceling the operation from the Export menu on the main or search screens. Interrupting an export simply stops the progress of the export while keeping all current video information intact. Canceling an export will delete any video data exported during the operation, as well as end the export itself.

This section describes how to stop an export process and includes the following topics:

•Retaining Video When Stopping an Export Process

•Deleting Video Data When Stopping an Export Process

Retaining Video When Stopping an Export Process

To halt an export that is in process while retaining current video data stored:

•From the DX8100 menu bar, choose Export > Interrupt Export.
