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.
• 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.
Reverses the time.
