Hdd Mode Menu; Connecting To A Pc / Mac - Datavideo HDR-200 User Manual

HDD Mode Menu

The HDD Mode Menu will set the HDR-200 up as an external IEEE-1394 (Firewire) drive, for direct drag and
drop file transfer to a PC or MAC.
The files appear in the root directory of the HDR-200 hard disk, and are numbered with the track number that
appears in the LCD display when you are recording or playing back the track.
The HDR-200 uses a FAT32 file structure, so large tracks are broken down into 2 GB files which are
sequentially named:
For example if Track 02 is 1 hour in duration it will appear as follows:
hdv02.m2t(2 GB)
hdv02_01.m2t (2 GB)
hdv02_02.m2t (2 GB)
hdv02_03.m2t (2 GB)
hdv02_04.m2t (2 GB)
hdv02_05.m2t (2 GB)
hdv02_06.m2t (77 MB) -

Connecting to a PC / MAC

NB: Although your PC / MAC may see the HDR-200 as an AVC compliant DV Device it is not intended
to be operated as such.
Connect the HDR-200 IEEE-1394 output to a PC or MAC.
To set the HDR-200 into HDD Mode firstly press Menu button so that it is illuminated.
You will see the display change to the HDD Mode Menu
Press the Next (▲) Button(right) to select ENTER and the display will show the HDD Enable Confirmation
Screen
Press the Next (▲) Button(right) (right) again to confirm, after a few seconds HDD Mode will be enabled
The PC / MAC should recognise that an external IEEE-1394 (Firewire) HDD has been connected. The HDR-
200 can be used just like any external drive.
To return the HDR-200 to Deck Mode either use "Safely Remove Hardware" with a PC, or with a MAC use
"Eject" or Drag the HDR-200 Drive to "Trash". Once un-mounted the HDR-200 display will return to the Track
Display.
- hdv02 is the file name for Track 02
- Each 2 GB section is given a sequential _xx numeric extension
The last file in the sequence is likely to be smaller than 2GB.
