Quick Install - Dedicated Micros Digital Sprite Lite Setup Manual

Record rate
The record rate is the amount of pictures recorded to disk in a second, or pictures
per second (PPS). This is a system wide figure, so whether 1 or 16 cameras are
recorded, the record rate remains the same. The update rate per camera can be
worked out using the record rate:
Update rate = No. of cameras
Record rate
A table of common record rates can be found in Appendix 2.
Hard disk capacity
Analogue VCRs use 3-hour tapes which record a finite number of images. Unlike
a VCR, the number of images that can be recorded to a digital multiplex recorder
can be increased by using a larger capacity hard disk. Digital Sprite Lite is currently
available with hard disk sizes of 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 120, and 150GB.
Using a larger hard disk will allow image quality, recording rate, or recording time
to be increased. For example, a 75GB disk can record up to 7 days at 24-hour
time-lapse mode speeds, but a 30GB disk can only record 3 days.
Calculating recording time
Digital Sprite Lite calculates the recording time automatically when the record rate
and image quality are entered. Alternatively, an interactive record calculator is
available for download from our web site:
