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-60 files resulting in one file per take. Note: When using 64GB cards, if you plan on shooting one continuous take greater then 3 hrs (using NTFS setup) please note that some Non-Linear Editing Software cannot accept file sizes greater than 40GB, please make sure your NLE is not one of them before you plan to shoot. -

NOTE: The IEEE-1394 output signal on the camera/source device must match the DN-60 input Signal Type for the recording to start. If the DN-60 or source device do not match then the DN-60 will stay at 00:00:00:00 as it cannot automatically recognise the signal presented to it. -
Page 17: Marking The Recording
NOTE: The IEEE-1394 output signal on the camera/source must match the DN-60 input Signal Type for the recording to start. If the DN-60 or source do not match then the DN-60 will stay at 00:00:00:00.
