Playback & Backup on a Computer:
Playback on a PC has some significant advantages over playing back footage on
the receiver itself.
Generally, computer playback offers a higher resolution monitor than most TVs,
and the video quality does not suffer from being transmitted via a composite video
signal.
To playback footage on your computer:
•
Remove the SD card from the receiver.
•
Insert the SD card into a card reader attached to your computer.
•
Open the SD card in your file browser (such as Explorer).
•
Open the folder named "Video".
•
Each folder represents a date on which recordings were done.
•
Individual recordings are listed by time, formatted as HHMMSS. For example,
a recording taken at two-thirty in the afternoon and twelve seconds will be
named "143012_1".
Note: If you do not have an SD card reader in your computer, you can purchase a
separate card reader. These are quite inexpensive and, using USB technology, allow
for quick "plug & play" installation.
Backup onto a PC
Once you've popped the SD card into a card reader connected to your computer,
the video files can be copied as per any other file. This is great for quick and easy
backing up footage.
To burn a DVD of your footage which will work in a stand-alone DVD player, you'll
need to use a dedicated DVD authoring program. However, if it is simply for the
purpose of backing up footage to play on a computer, then burning the file as is
to a data DVD will suffice.
If you have difficulty playing back footage on your computer, we suggest using
a different player. VLC player (available online at www.videolan.org/vlc) is a free
program which will can play files created on the ADW-400 without additional
software or codec packs.
