Page 18: General Setup Notes
DN-60 General Setup Notes Before using your DN-60 for the first time, there are a few basic operational settings that must be chosen. These are found under the Setup Mode options (see pages 14 to 17). Choose a file operating system, FAT32 or NTFS Set up the file system type seen on the CF card by the computer when transferring files. -
Page 19: Format The Cf Card
Format the CF card The DN-60 is primarily a capture device, as opposed to an archiving device, and it is best to start out with freshly DN-60 formatted CF card(s) on each project. Formatting your card in another device may cause issues later on. If you are re-using your CF cards just remember to backup any existing content already on the card(s) to computer first before formatting the card(s). -
Page 20: Pausing The Record Process
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. Pausing the Record Process The DN-60 will automatically pause recording if time code from the tape deck is not moving and Sync to Tape is ON. -
Page 21: Using Pre-Trigger Set Up
