The DGy 201 supports the optional ability to playback from disk at the same time as it is recording new material. Record and play start and stop times are independent.

Note

You must have an AuxCodec board installed to use

 

the Simultaneous Record/Play option on the DGy

 

201.

 

The presence of this option can be confirmed by

 

viewing the WCP Configuration Screen (page 22).

 

 

The DGy 201 can encode and stream a graphics input to the network port using the optional streaming capability. In this mode, instead of directing the encoded visuals to the local DGy 201 disk, the encoded visuals are streamed to the network port as a unicast (point-to-point) transmission for remote viewing on a PC equipped with the optional Advanced PC Player software.

The streaming output of a suitably optioned DGy 201 can be viewed on a remote PC with Windows® Media Player using the optional RGB Spectrum Advanced Player software. Note that although the image quality will have the same resolution and quality as if displayed on the graphics output of the DGy 201, the frame rate will be limited by the network performance and the capability of the PC that you use.

The DGy 201 also offers an optional capability to record to a remote disk drive accessible through a network. Remote drives include network attached storage devices, servers, RAID servers and network attached PCs. To accomplish this the remote drive is mounted as a network assigned NFS (Network File System) drive and appears to the DGy 201 as if it is a local disk drive. Note that this feature requires the use of Allegro (Windows PC platforms) or Linux based NFS servers. For more information please see “Mounting a Remote Disk” on page 64.
