INSTALLATION & SAFEGUARDS

All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the unit is operated.

Environment Condition for Installation

To prevent electric shock or other hazard, do not expose units to rain, moisture, or dust. This unit should be located in an area with low humidity and a minimum of dust..

Place this unit in a well-ventilated place and do not place heat-generating objects on this unit. This unit should not be located in an area where it is likely to be subjected to mechanical shocks.

Before You Start

-Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position prior to starting.

-Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.

-Installation should be performed by qualified service personnel only.

-This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the manufacturer’s label and with the power supply included with the unit.

Notice

Be aware thoroughly about the power connection before installation of the unit. (Please read Instruction for DC Power Adapter which is included in the package).

Before initial configuration or operation you must first set the TIME/DATE, followed by setting the unit to the FACTORY DEFAULT settings, lastly clearing the HDD. Please follow these steps in order.

Before installing a second HDD, ensure that the drive conforms to the specifications listed on the specifications page at the end of this manual. When installing a second HDD, set the drive to SLAVE. After installation, first reset the TIME/DATE, followed by resetting the unit to the FACTORY DEFAULT settings, lastly clearing the new HDD.

Pull the unit out of record mode prior to cutting power to the unit. Do this by entering the setup menu, followed by switching the unit off. Powering off the unit while writing to the disks can cause critical malfunctions (eg: Recording Error, Playback Error, System Error).

When you set the record type, you have to set the Record Configuration and also Schedule Setup. This unit records as per the Record type & Schedule setup.

The [REC] button on the front panel is for emergency record using highest image quality.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of this equipment that there are dangerous voltages within the enclosure which may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to presence of important operating and maintenance (Servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

JPEG 2000 specifications

Stinger JPEG 2000 is a powerful image compression technology that offers advanced solutions for high-quality image storage and transmission. Utilizing the principles of wavelet transformation, JPEG 2000 provides significant benefits over the traditional JPEG format, particularly in terms of image quality, compression efficiency, and flexibility.

One of the main features of Stinger JPEG 2000 is its support for lossless and lossy compression modes. This versatility allows users to select the appropriate mode based on their image quality requirements and storage capacities. Lossless compression ensures that no image data is lost during the compression process, making it ideal for applications that require exact reproductions, such as medical imaging and archiving. On the other hand, lossy compression significantly reduces file sizes while maintaining a perceptible level of quality, making it suitable for web images and streaming.

Another notable characteristic of Stinger JPEG 2000 is its ability to handle high-resolution images efficiently. The wavelet-based encoding method enables the preservation of fine details, ensuring that even images with intricate designs remain sharp and clear after compression. This is particularly important in fields like digital cinema, where the highest quality is paramount.

Stinger JPEG 2000 also supports progressive decoding, meaning images can be transmitted and rendered in layers. This feature allows users to view a low-resolution version of an image quickly while the higher-resolution data is still being received. This is especially beneficial for web applications where loading times are critical.

Additionally, Stinger JPEG 2000 includes robust error resilience capabilities. The technology can recover more gracefully from data corruption, making it an excellent choice for streaming applications where data loss can occur. The format's capability to store additional metadata also enhances its functionality, enabling the inclusion of information such as color profiles, image creation data, and other pertinent details that help manage and organize image files.

In summary, Stinger JPEG 2000 revolutionizes the way images are compressed, offering advanced features such as lossless and lossy options, efficient handling of high-resolution images, progressive decoding, and enhanced error resilience. These characteristics make it a preferred choice for professional applications where image quality and reliability are critical, paving the way for a broader adoption in various industries, including media, healthcare, and digital archiving.
