Overview
The Mini DVR Pro is a standalone, handheld, pocket-sized digital video recorder with exceptional image
quality, featuring scalable motion-JPEG compression and an outstanding 720 x 486 pixel image
resolution. The dvr records up to 2 hours at a 20:1 compression with readily available compact flash
cards, which must be multi-word DMA mode 2 capable. The recorder is equipped for downloadable files
via an on-board USB 2.0 port and is powered by either Alkaline or NiMH AA size batteries. Extended
operation during in-office playback or editing is assured using the supplied (9V or 12V) power supply.
DVR is designed to develop and evolve as the industry changes. New features are implemented
regularly, most of which can be easily implemented by the DVR's firmware, downloadable via FFV's Web

The M-JPEG compression settings on all versions of the Mini DVR Pro are user selectable from 4:1 to
20:1. In practice, it is advisable to set the compression to correspond with the best quality to storage
ratio. A setting of 7:1 is a good setting for general purpose Betacam images, 10:1 for S-VHS, 15:1 for
VHS. The rule of thumb for minutes of storage generally available is compression ratio times gigabytes
available; example: 10:1 compression ratio x 4 gigabytes = 10 x 4 = 40 Minutes recording time.
With single frame recording enabled, a frame will be recorded every time the record button is pressed.
The Loop record function continuously records material over the available space on the drive at the time
the recording starts. The loop never overwrites video on the drive prior to the start of a record. Two
drives function the same as one, the first drive is filled, then the second, then material is overwritten in the
order recorded until the record is stopped.
