Page 13: Operation Procedures
VTR MODE (Capturing or Play Back) Formatting the CF card The DN-60 will format a CF card to handle one of three signal types; HDV (all frame rates), or NTSC DV, DVCPro or PAL DV, DVCPro. If an unformatted CF card is inserted, the DN-60 will recognize it and suggest it be formatted to its signal type. -
Page 14: Menu Navigation
Menu Option Action taken RECORD This will take DN-60 into record mode. At this mode, the MODE device checks input signal and ready for recording immediately. Other options are to change to different bin or to return to HOME. - Page 15 RECORD MODE Entering RECORD MODE, DN-60 will start checking the input signal immediately. If there is no signal at input port, it will flash NO INPUT message to alert user. If the input signal is wrong signal type, it will also flash warning message WRONG SIGNAL to alert user.
- Page 16 RECORD Current timecode is displayed on the second line. Third line will display recording status and BINS length in the minimal unit of second. There are three options during RECORD: Menu Option Action taken STOP Select STOP to stop recording. PAUSE Select PAUSE to pause recording.
- Page 17 PLAY MODE DN-60 will display the signal type of the current selected BINS, DV, HDV or DVCPro on the first line. It also displays clip number and timecode on the second line. User can choose the timecode display type (either timecode or frame count) through the system setup in the SETUP MODE.
- Page 18 PLAY During PLAY, DN-60 will display output signal format on the first line, clip number and timecode on the second line. It will pause at the last frame of the playing BINS. Any time during PLAY, user can use the knob to select one of the five play options to achieve the function they want.
- Page 19 TOOLS There are five useful tools available in TOOLS mode. MAKE MEDIA FILES EMPTY CURRENT BINS FORMAT MEDIA UPGRADE FIRMWARE FIRMWARE REVISION Menu Option Action taken MAKE MEDIA Prepares the recorded content to be seen by the FILES computer in the CF card. The operating system environment is previously set to either FAT32 or NTFS.

- Page 27 See the command protocol in Appendix B. Pausing The DN-60 will pause recording if time code is not moving and ST:ON is set, otherwise it will record. When the video source is digital the time code is embedded in the stream and it is always the time code recorded.
- Page 28 Warning: If power is interrupted while the recording is paused, all clip numbers added during the current record session will be lost. No content however will be lost. Future firmware upgrades may fix this behavior. Note: If power is interrupted while recording, up to two seconds of the last video may be lost.
- Page 29 Use Record Pre-trigger When this option is enabled the DN-60 is always in a record-ready mode when it is not playing. In this mode it is continuously storing live data in its internal buffer which is 8 seconds in length. In this manner, when a recording is started 8 seconds of history prior to the trigger already exists and is then captured to disk.
