Summary of enhanced, added and changed functions of version 1.10

By upgrading the DV824 software to version 1.10, the following changes are made.
1) The "Default file name" menu item in the SYS SETUP menu is enhanced.
The "Default file name" menu item in the SYS SETUP menu is enhanced by adding the
"Reel mode" option to the default file name mode. See page 5 for details.
2) The new "False Start" menu item is added to the SYS SETUP menu.
The new "False Start" menu item added to the SYS SETUP menu allows you to select
whether deleting or keeping the file after executing False start. See page 6 for details.
3) The new "Auto new file" menu item is added to the SYS SETUP menu.
The newly added "Auto new file" item gives you a useful option when recording audio
and an external time code simultaneously by selecting the TC GEN mode in the TC
SETUP menu to "Ext Run". With this option, if an incoming external time code jumps and
then a new continuous LTC is fed to the DV824, the audio file is automatically divided.
See page 7 for details.
4) The new "Cooling fan cont" menu item is added to the SYS SETUP menu.
The new "Cooling fan cont" menu item is added to the SYS SETUP mode. By setting this
menu item to "On", the cooling fan rotation speed always slows down during recording.
See page 8 for details.
5) The "Set Gen.TC" menu item in the TC SETUP menu is enhanced.
When the TC GEN mode is set to "Free Run", the "Set Gen.TC" menu item now allows you
to jam the internal realtime clock time data, in addition to the TC value editing
capability. See page 9 for details.
Also, the user bit setting capability when the TC GEN mode is set to "Free Run" has been
deleted from the "Set Gen.TC" menu item (the user bit setting can now be done via the
newly added "Set Gen Ubit" menu item in the TC SETUP menu).
6) The "Set Gen Ubit" menu item is added to the TC SETUP menu.
The "Gen Ubit" menu item has been deleted from the TC SETUP menu. Instead, the "Set
Gen Ubit" menu item is newly added to the TC SETUP menu. This menu item allows you
to set the user bit mode and user bit value in the same screen (in the earlier version, the
user bit value setting can be made via the "Set Gen.TC" menu item). See page 10 for
details.
7) The "Format" menu item in the DISK UTILITY menu is enhanced.
The "Format" menu item is used for formatting a DVD-RAM disk (or a partition of the
optional internal hard disk). There are some changes in this menu item regarding the
physical format on/off selection, default format mode, etc. See page 12 for details.
8) The pull-up/pull-down function now works differently from the earlier version.
With the earlier version, when the DV824 is running with the internal clock reference
and the pull-down or pull-up function is active, the TC frame rate always changes in
sync with the speed change. With the new version, the TC frame rate does not always
change. See page 13 for details.
9) The USB keyboard capability for controlling the DV824 is enhanced.
Now you can control the DV824 from a USB keyboard connected to the [USB (KYBD
ONLY] port on the DV824 more flexibly. See page 13 for details.
10) Dual Drive Recording (DDR) and Auto Copy (by IMME mode) can now be made more
safely.
With the optional hard disk drive installed, when making Dual Drive Recording (DDR)
or Auto Copy by the IMME mode, you can now make recording more safely. See page 14
for details.

Change in the "Pull Up/Down" menu item of the SYS SETUP menu
With the earlier version, when the DV824 is working with the internal clock reference and the
pull down or pull up function is active, the TC frame rate always changes in sync with +/- 0.1%
speed change. With the new version, the TC frame rate does not always change, as shown in the
table below. Note that the "Pull Up/Down" function works only when the optional TC/SYNC card
is installed.

<Note>: As shown in the table above, you cannot make pull-up or pull-down setting when the
TC frame is 25 fps. If you set the "Pull Up/Down" menu item to "+0.1%" or "-0.1%" when the
TC frame is 25 fps, "+0.1%" or "-0.1%" is shown in the "UP/DW" status information area on
the Home screen.
<Note>: While pulled up or down, the DV824 can lock to an external clock (video, frame
pulse or field pulse) with a frame rate shown in the table above (+/- 100PPM).
<Note>: The "Pull Up/Down" menu item is effective only when the optional TC/SYNC card is
installed to the DV824 (V1.10 or higher).
