BOOKMARKING AND EXPORTING MULTIPLE CHANNELS

The DX8100 allows you to bookmark a video region for one camera and apply that book marked time window to multiple channels. This feature is used in conjunction with the export feature. For example, if you want to export video recorded between 9:00 a.m. and 9:05 a.m. for multiple cameras, you set the bookmarks for camera 1 at 9:00 a.m. and 9:05 a.m. During the export process you can associate that same bookmarked time window with multiple cameras.

To book mark data and export video for multiple channels:

1.On the DX8100 toolbar, click the Search button . This ensures that the HVR is in the Search mode.

2.Select a camera from the Site Tree.

3.Locate the timeline slider at the beginning of the range you want to bookmark.

You can use the drop-down box and spinner buttons above the timeline to locate a bookmark.

a.Click the Expand Bookmark button . A red bookmark flag appears on the timeline.

b.Locate the timeline slider at the end of the range you want to bookmark.

Exporting a bookmarked region of video requires start and end bookmarks. If only one bookmark is set, video will not be marked for export.
