will indicate this one-letter code after the file
name.

PLAYBACK

Once you've run your search, you may select which videos you wish to review.
Start, Stop and Play
Double-click on the desired video file and
playback will begin. The playback controls
operate as with a normal DVD player or
computer media player with pause, rewind,
etc. In the case of multiple views, the channel
with the green outline around its video is the
one that is being controlled. You can switch
between channels by clicking on the one you
wish to control.
While all channels will display video from the
same event, individual playbacks can be
controlled separately. A single channel can
be paused, rewound or sped up without
affecting the playback of other channels.
Selecting the Stop button will end playback
of that channel while the others (if any)
continue to play back. To end playback on
all channels, simply right-click the mouse or
move to another file using the buttons to the
right of the playback bar.

Zoom
In multi-screen playback, you may click on a channel to bring it to full-screen view. Double-
clicking the screen again will further enlarge the screen and remove the playback bar. Double-
clicking a third time will return you to the multi-screen mode. You can also step backwards in
the process by right-clicking.
At any time, you can zoom into a recording
by clicking and dragging the mouse. This
will draw a green-outlined rectangle on
that screen and the cursor will change to
a magnifying glass. Click within the area
you've selected to zoom in, or click outside to
dismiss or re-select the area.
In the case of a multi-screen viewing mode, the zoomed in section will fill only that portion of
the screen occupied by that channel until you double-click on it at which time it will expand to
fit the screen. Double-clicking again will further enlarge the view and remove the playback bar
as above. Right-clicking the mouse will return you to your previous mode of viewing.
Video Clip
This allows you to save only a portion of a video clip. For example; if you have a camera set
to record all the time and it captures some action in a five-minute segment, you can clip only
that portion and back it up. In addition to making an incident readily available, saving only the
portion of interest will reduce the amount of disk space needed to back it up.
STEP 1. Select a file to view in the
normal manner.
STEP 2. Find the section of interest and
press the Clip button
STEP 3. Drag the playback bar to the
end of the section and press the Clip
button again.
STEP 4. Press the Backup button
to save the file to a USB drive
connected to the USB back-up port
on the side of the DVR.
