Playback; Select A Recorded Bin To Playback; Playback In Bin Or Clip Centric Mode; Pause And Go To Mark - Datavideo DN-600 Instruction Manual

Select a recorded BIN to Playback

You can think of a video BIN as being like a folder for holding a single or group of related video
CLIPS.
The current BIN and its contents, if any, are shown on the Clip Status display, see page 11.
Use the right hand soft key labelled NEXT to move to the next BIN. You will see the BIN number
change each time you select NEXT or PREVIOUS.
The video length stored within the current BIN is also displayed in the format of Hours, Minutes,
Seconds and Frames [HH:MM:SS:FF]. So a BIN showing 00:00:00:00 is empty and a BIN showing
01:35:24:06 is just over one hour thirty five minutes long.
Before pressing the PLAY button, first select the correct BIN where the required video has been
recorded.
Note: If you select an empty BIN then nothing will happen when you press the PLAY button.

Playback

There are several ways of starting playback depending how the recorder is configured.
1) Manually by using the PLAY button.
2) Using the Remote Serial interface. See the command protocol at the rear of this manual.
3) Simple contact closure circuit using a switch, contact or button wired to the GPI port on the
recorders rear panel. See page 27 for more information.
When in playback mode the soft keys will change to FREV and FFWD for fast reverse and fast
forward. Repeatedly pressing a soft key will cause the playback to go faster in the chosen direction
up to 32x speed. A speed other than 1x is displayed in the bottom line of the LCD panel.
While playing video pressing the Menu button will give an alternate set of soft key choices; SLOW
and FAST. These keys, while keeping the same current play direction, will extend the control of the
speed down to the slow motion range of 1/32x. The Menu button will toggle between the two sets of
keys.
Pressing the Play button again will return to 1x play in the forward direction.

Playback in BIN or CLIP centric mode

Depending on how the Play Setup menu options are set, see page 18, the recorder will either play
back ONLY the selected CLIP within the current BIN or play back ALL CLIPS within the selected BIN.
When the BIN Centric Mode is enabled [ON] the play back function plays ALL the CLIPS recorded in
the current BIN.
When the BIN Centric Mode is disabled [OFF] the play back function plays the current CLIP only
within the selected BIN.
Note that the current selection will be marked with an asterisk [*].

Pause and go to Mark

While playing back a video clip, pressing the PLAY button again will pause the video playback. While
the video is paused, the soft keys will be labelled l< and >l. These keys allow direct access to the
Clip Markers that are the start and end frames of each CLIP with the current BIN. Counting the end
frame of the last clip, there will always be one more mark than there are clips. In this mode, the clip
number display will be substituted with a mark number display.
