Page 9: Dn-200 Menus
DN-200 Menus The DN-200 is a menu driven unit; there are several menus which are used to set up the unit. The menu settings are non-volatile (settings are stored even when the unit is switched off). So general settings, such as date and file type, may only need to be set once. We will look at specific set ups in more detail later on in this manual, but here is an overview of the available menu options. -

2) Automatically, the camera or device connected to the IEEE-1394 port controls the record action. A third way is to issue a record command via the Remote Serial interface or RS-232 port. The DN-200 RS-232 command protocol is listed in this manual from page 19 onwards. -

BNC connection. To cause the recording to pause, that time code must be valid but not moving. If SMPTE time code is not present at all then a DN-200 generated time code is substituted starting at 00:00:00:00 for each bin and incrementing from there in a dropped-frame manner (NTSC only). -

The NTFS format is fully compatible with PCs and is read compatible with Macs. Its main advantage is that it does not impose a file size limitation to the DN-200 resulting in one file per clip. NTFS’ clip boundary is frame accurate and therefore has perfect correlation with clip numbers in the VTR mode. -

Other than the sense command, the unit will respond to all commands affirmatively by sending a three byte acknowledgement (ACK) if the Checksum is valid. If the Checksum is not valid, the DN-200 will ignore the command. Most commands will be responded to within 8 msec. However, a PLAY command from an idle state will result in response delay of up to 700 msec. -
