• I/O terminals
Terms used for referring to both input and output.
• RS-232C
Connection standard used for handling data between de-
vices such as a PC, modem, etc. A standard when con-
necting a PC and modem. The upper limit for the commu-
nication speed of this standard is 115.2kbps and the maxi-
mum transfer distance is 15m. Since this standard only
defines the roles and physical characteristics of the con-
nector pins, there are various types of connectors such as
25-pin, D-sub, etc.
• Copy
Term used when copying part of data to an external stor-
age media. The term "copy" in this manual refers strictly to
the process of taking out only the data before and after
failures from continuous video to a SCSI device, Compact
Flash Card or video for analytical purposes.
• Compact Flash Card (CFC)
One of the standards for a compact memory card. The
Compact Flash Card has such merits as strong durability
and ease of handling.
• Partition
A partition is one of the many divided areas on the Hard
Disk.
• RS-485/RS-422
The serial interface stipulated by EIA taking the place of
RS-232C. It is very suitable for the longer and higher-speed
communication since RS-422/RS-485 adopts the balanced
type signal transmission in comparison with RS-232C that
adopts the unbalanced type signal transmission.
Relation of recording operation to the number of cameras and recording interval settings
The recording pattern of this unit is as illustrated in the diagram below. Video data input from all the connected cameras
is recorded sequentially. (Max. 60P recording interval during normal recording.)

• Hard disk drive (HDD)
Storage device using the same magnetic recording proc-
ess as tapes and is used in PCs. An aluminium disk coated
with magnetic materials is used on the surface as the stor-
age medium and since there is no contact during record-
ing/playback, there is no head wear. Data search is also
quick since recording is performed in numbered sections
called sectors.
• Media
Term was originally referred to media that transmits infor-
mation. Media mostly refers to hard disks, DVD RAM, MO
disks, magnetic tapes, and are commonly referred to as
storage media. Media types are largely categorized by the
recording method, such as optical disks, magnetic optical
disks, magnetic disks, etc.
• Capacity
Term to indicate the amount of data that can be stored in a
storage device such as memory, disk, etc., and unit is indi-
cated in B (bytes).
• Restore
Term referred to when copying data that has been backed-
up in a peripheral recording device, etc., to the built-in hard
disk of the unit.
• Mirroring
One way of protecting data on magnetic disks. This func-
tion writes data alternately to 2 Hard disk drives with the
same capacity. However, there is the demerit of using 2
drives in place of 1, resulting in half the available space.
