A Windows software application supplied by RGB Spectrum can be used to replay DGy 201x recordings directly on a PC. The quality level will be the same, but at reduced frame rates. This application works with the standard Windows Media Player (version 9 and above) to provide basic transport functions including play, pause and stop.
This application can be used to replay recordings in the following ways:
•Recordings copied from a DGy 201x to the PC local drive using TCP/IP file transfer protocol (FTP).
•Recordings played from a DGy 201x removable drive inserted in an appropriately configured PC equipped with a compatible removable disk drive bay. The DGy 201x uses the ext2 file system found with the Linux operating system. PCs running the Windows operating system will require additional software in order to mount the drive. This software is commercially available.
Playback quality is high, but note that the playback frame rate is limited by the performance of the selected PC. As an example, a PC equipped with a Pentium® 4, 3GHz processor with 512 MB of memory will typically play a 1280 x 1024 recording at 5 to 6 frames per second.
The DGy 201x supports the optional playback from disk while concurrently recording new material. Record and play start and stop times are independent.
Additional codec circuitry is factory installed to use the Simultaneous Record/Play option on the DGy 201x. The presence of this option can be confirmed by viewing the Web Control Panel Configuration Window (page 22).
