Operating instructions

Controlling the recorder

There are several ways to control the recorder:
• Front panel control. See "Using the front panel" below.
• Mouse control. See "Using the mouse" on page 20.
• IR remote control. See "Using the IR remote control" on page 21.
• TVK-800 keypad (from TVK-800 firmware version 1.0i). Please refer to the user
manual for more information.
• Web browser control (TruVision Navigator, TVRmobile). See Chapter 18 "Using the
web browser" on page 125 for more information on using the web browser. Please
refer to the TruVision Navigator and TVRmobile user manuals for more information.
• Software (TruVision Navigator, TVRmobile or other video management or
integration software platforms). Please refer to the relevant user manuals of the
individual software platforms for more information.
You can use your preferred control method for any procedure, but in most cases we
describe procedures using the mouse. Optional control methods are given only when
they differ substantially from the mouse control methods.

Using the front panel

The function buttons on the front panel control can be used to operate most, but not all,
of the main functions of the recorder. The LED indicators light up to alert you of various
conditions. The functions available can be limited by setting passwords. See Figure 9
on page 17 for more information.
