Digitally TV offers two possibilities of recording radio or television broadcasts
on the fixed disk:
The programmable timer and the record function. While you must open the
appropriate dialog window for the use of the first mentioned functionality,
recording can be started directly by the program surface and is thus the best
way to record current programs spontaneously.
The recorded file is stored with the options date and time-of-day with automa-
tically generated file names (can be renamed if necessary after termination of
the recording in the Windows Explorer) on the fixed disk.
The status beam displays recorded time and the space still available (Tooltips
supplies the exact values of the number). The estimated recording duration
(in minutes or hours) and the current file format (the Tooltip reveals the file
names) are also available.
If the recorded file achieves the indicated max. file size, a new file is begun
automatically and the recording is continued. The status beam is set back to
the beginning, while all other displays are not.
The recording is started and stopped by means of pressing the yellow button.
When the button is flashing the recording is in progress and you cannot
change to another channel, you must stop the recording before changing to
another channel.
The data rates of the audio and video stream are up to several Mbit/s requi-
ring a fast and large fixed disks. During the recording of a video stream with a
typical data rate of 4 Mbit/s you need approx. 30 MByte for one minute, for
one hour 1.8 GByte storage space.
Open the playback dialog window, in order to display the recorded Audio-and
video files. If you selected in the recording options as standard format MPG,
the playback dialog cannot be used for playing. You will need to use software
of a third provider to playback the files.
