Delay Counter - Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-Series Reference Manual

Pause-Puffer
The Pause buffer is space on your hard disk where video is stored during the Pause mode.
The maximum amount of time which your TV program can be delayed is dependent upon
how much storage space you have set for the Pause buffer. To change the default pause buf-
fer location licking the symbol spanner//Movies/MPEG.

Delay counter

The delay counter indicates the amount of time that the Live video window has been paused.
If the delay counter indicates 00:01:23 then the Live video window has been paused for 1
minute and 23 seconds.
Rewind
Clicking the Rewind button while playing video will rewind the recorded video.
Clicking the Rewind button again will continue the playing.
Pause
Clicking the Pause button causes WinTV to start recording into WinTV's Replay Buffer.
It takes about 10 seconds for the Replay Buffer to be initialized and for Pause to beco-
me effective. Un-clicking the Pause button will cause the audio/video program to start playing
from the point where the button was originally clicked.
Most WinTV functions are active while in the Pause or Pause Live mode. For example, you
can change volume, resize the TV window, go into "no-title mode", etc. While in Pause mode,
the Video Position bar shows the amount of the Replay Buffer which is filled with video. For
example, if the Video Position indicator shows halfway, it means that half of the Replay Buffer
is filled. If you find you cannot Pause as many minutes as you would like, increase the size of
the Replay Buffer.
While in Pause mode, the A/V stream is always saved in the Replay Buffer. To stop saving the
A/V stream in the Replay Buffer, you must exit the Pause mode by clicking TV mode.
Slow motion
Clicking the Slow Motion button while playing video will play in Slow Motion. Clicking
the Slow Motion button again, will continue playing normally.
Fast forward
Clicking the Fast Forward button one time will fast forward your video at 2X speed.
Clicking the Fast Forward button two times will fast forward your video at 8X speed.
Replay
While in the Pause mode, hitting the Replay button acts like the Instant Replay you see
on TV broadcast sporting events: the audio/video goes back in time and you repeat
what you have previously seen. Each click of the Replay button causes audio/video to go
back 10 seconds.
For example, if you want to repeat the audio/video you saw 10 seconds ago, you would click
the Replay button once. If you want to see the video you saw one minute ago, you would
need to click the Replay button six times.
For extended replay times, you might find it more convenient to grab the Video Position indi-
cator control bar and move it to the left. Once you let the control bar go, audio/video starts to
play (it might take a few seconds for the WinTV application to start playing).
You might have to move the Video Position indicator to the left and right to find the desired
spot to start replaying audio/video.
While Replaying, your audio/video program continues to be recorded in the Replay Buffer.
Therefore, if you have clicked the Replay button 3 times (so that you are replaying the
audio/video seen 30 seconds ago), the video you see in the WinTV window will be 30
seconds behind the "live" audio/video program.
Skip ahead
Clicking the Skip button will skip the video ahead 10 seconds.
