USB Operation
The USB connection is used to view recorded video using the QuickTime player on a computer. The files
must be recorded using the FAT32 Disk format and the QT file format. The drivers are included in
Windows 2000 and Windows XP for the connection. The drive should show up as an external drive when
the USB cable is connected, then the DVR powered "On". The DVR and the USB cannot access the
drive simultaneously, so Record or Play via the DVR inputs/outputs is not possible while the USB
connector is attached.
The files containing video will have long filenames the same as the clip title and this numerical
information to separate multiple files of the same clip AAAABB, where the 'AAAA' and 'BB' are
hexadecimal numbers; the digits 'BB' increment from lower to higher for as many files as are in one clip.
All other files on the drive are not video files, and therefore, are not playable. The FAT32 format limits file
size to 2 GB. Long video clips will span file boundaries.
Video requires a fast computer to play smoothly in real time. If your video does not play smoothly,
QuickTime Pro has a setting under the Movie tab to "Play all frames". This slows the video to the speed
of the computer, but shows all of the frames recorded.
Audio in QuickTime files is Single Channel from the Left Input.
