Page 20: Product Overview And Key Features
The Turbo iDDR is a multi-channel digital video recorder that allows simultaneous record and playback of media stored on internal disk drives. The Turbo iDDR features a single record channel (R1) and two play channels (P1/P2). Hours of storage depends on the video compression settings selected.
Page 21 DV or HDV format. DVI used for output only. The connector carries both digital and component analog signals. Selectable video compression data rates– The Turbo iDDR records video using MPEG-2 Long GOP compression with selectable video data rate. This allows you to choose the highest picture quality possible to obtain the storage capacity needed.
Page 22 Quicktime (.qt, .mov) Importing: Still images and still image sequences – You can import still image files and still image sequences from local drives or network devices. The Turbo iDDR supports the following graphic file formats: .jpg, .bmp, .tiff, .tga, .gif, .png.

NOTE: For a small network, without a DHCP server or domain name server (DNS), you can set up a static IP address and create a Host file on each iDDR.
Page 275: Enable Streaming: Adding Network Hosts Names
NOTE: If you have a problem with the network, try using the ping utility in the Windows command prompt. Use either the IP address or host name. Troubleshoot as needed. Also, refer to the Turbo iDDR Service Manual for troubleshooting procedures.

Page 279: Erasing Unused Media
147. Clearing the media file system When you need to remove all media from the Turbo iDDR, you should use the Clear File System operation rather than deleting all the clips manually. The Clear File System operation returns the iDDR media storage system to its initial state, as it was when you received it from the factory.
