How the Time Scale Works

The time scale is a tool that allows you to view or specify time and date information. The scale part is movable; it automatically slides as the video advances. The date and time of live or recorded video is always displayed in the middle of the scale, where a green vertical center line resides.

•The scale unit (DAY/HOUR/MINUTE) can be selected from the pull-down menu.

The scale display range varies depending on the selected unit.

DAY:

Center line ±15 days (30 graduations in all)

HOUR:

Center line ±12 hours (24 graduations in all)

MINUTE:

Center line ±30 minutes (60 graduations in all)

•The time and date that corresponds to the vertical center line on the scale is shown on the digital time display on the left-hand side of the scale.

•In live mode, the scale indicates the current date and time.

•In playback mode, the scale indicates the date and time (time stamp) when the currently displayed video was recorded. The time and date information reflects fast-forward playback or other operations.

•The scale moves in increments of one graduation.

For example, when the scale unit is set to “MINUTE”, the scale slides every one minute.

•When the scale spans two days or two months, the day or month is highlighted in red.

How to Use the Time Scale

In playback mode, you can move the playback point along the scale by dragging the scale to the left or right.

•You can advance the time by sliding the scale to the left, or reverse the time by sliding the scale to the right.

Advances the time. Reverses the time.

•This feature is very useful when you explore video frame images in playback mode: you can move the playback point as many times as you like by dragging the scale. (The playback point can be moved even when the video is paused.)

•Instead of dragging the scale, you can double-click a graduation on the scale to move the playback point to that position.

•The time scale can be used in live mode as well. When you specify a point in time on the scale by dragging the scale or double-clicking a graduation, the DVR Utility Software switches to playback mode on condition that there is recorded video data that corresponds to the specified point in time.

•When you download recorded video data, you can specify the start and end points of the time range of video data you want to download, by dragging the scale just as you do when you specify the playback point. For more information, see P49.
