card" on page 8.
Maximum recording duration
Enter a Maximum recording duration to set an overall time limit for your
recording session. The session will automatically end when this limit is reached,
or when the selected storage media is full (whichever occurs first). If you enter a
value of 0, the recording session will continue indefinitely, and will stop only
when your storage media is full.
The maximum file duration can include multiple files. For example, if you
specify a five-hour recording duration, but you have entered a file switching
duration (see "File switching duration"
recording session will stop after five hours (assuming the storage media has
enough space), but Monarch HD will create five individual hour-long files.
File switching duration
Enter a File switching duration to separate your recording session into more
than one file at predetermined intervals. For example, if you enter a duration of
30 minutes, Monarch HD will close the current file and start recording to a new
file every 30 minutes.
The size of the created files (in approximated MBs) is displayed next to the
duration. The file size adjusts depending on the video data rates you set in the
encoding options (see
Remarks
• The maximum file switching duration you can set is four hours and fifty
minutes.
• If you enter a file switching duration of 0, Monarch HD will automatically
switch to a new file every four hours and fifty minutes. This is a precaution
that will avoid possible data loss that may occur from having files that are
too large.
• On FAT32 storage media, file switching will occur automatically after 4 GB.
This is a limitation of the FAT32 file system architecture. You can stop
