1 INTSRUCTION
DVR is short term of Digital Video Recorder.
It is a device which digitizes input video/audio
signal and store in digital data.
It replaces the existing VTR which stores analog AV recorder
via tape(VHS) as well as gives users useful advantage in digital data.
The B-DVR from Darim Vision is a state-of-art DVR not only having general function of DVR
but also automated scheduling playback function.
The B-DVR is designed for everyone to use easily like general VTR.
There are many DVRs
which use CD-R, CD-RW in the market.
B-DVR uses removable Hard Disk and gives the
users get storage space easily and economically.
Digital data that has no quality loss is the most suitable to save the data and to reuse if
comparing with analog data.
With using this feature, you can convert AV data into real time
high quality MPEG-2 and save it to the Hard Disk.
And it gives you related function by
connecting stored hard disk to a PC using high storage of high quality MPEG-2.
Now with
B-DVR from Darim, you will get variable function which only high quality digitized AV data
can has like an existing VTR.
The unique function of B-DVR is automated scheduling function for recording and playback.
It is a function that playbacks the stored AV data on demand time.
The several video clips
with this function can be edited as the one Play-List so that users can reuse the several video
clips or repeated video clips by simple editing effectively and appropriately.
B-DVR can be used as general, home-user AV device, but it has high capacity of storage Hard
disk and provides high quality MPEG-2 video data for next generation multi-use AV device.
Therefore it also would be the most suitable device for professional users and industry which
demand highly developed multi-media technology.

Such setup is also applied when a new Hard Disk is connected.
Quality represents the degree of compression when digitizing input video the Hard Disk in
MPEG-2 format.
The quality is determined by amount of data in MPEG-2 stream per second
measured in Mbps.

When the recording time is over 13 hours

B-DVR Users Guide

TROUBLESHOOTING

The present B-DVR decides the recording time of one Clip depending on the remaining
space of HDD.
It is possible to record for a long time if the space of HDD is enough. But
do not try to record one Clip for over 13 hours.
When you play the Clip recorded for over
13 hours, the displayed time in VFD of front panel is initialized to 00:00:00 after the time of
13:14:34.
It is caused by the trouble of MPEG-2 Encoder of B-DVR.
Therefore it is
designed to record for less 13 hours. Refer the messages in recording from [9.2 message
occurred in B-DVR activation].

When the deleted Clip plays All Clips in playback mode


You can PLAY, NAME, DEL and ALLDEL all Clips in Clip-List.
If you record at the
latest or add MPEG-2 file using B-DVR Desktop software, it is located in the closest to
Clip-List No.00.
The Clip of the last no is the recorded Clip at the first time.
Though
it is deleted once, it can be appeared in the Play-List by selecting All Clips to playback.
It is suggested to optimize using B-DVR Desktop.

How to do when less storage space in HDD


B-DVR saves Clips in order when recording or adding Clips using B-DVR Desktop.
Therefore, it can be happened to have less remaining space of HDD than calculated from the
whole space.
In order to use Hard Disk effectively, it is suggested to optimize HDD by connecting to PC
and using B-DVR Desktop

In case there is incorrect Time-Code in front VFD panel


For Users friendly, when playing or recording MPEG-2 file in B-DVR, Time-Code
indicates in VFD.
Any information related in Time-Code in current used MPEG-2 file in
B-DVR includes maximum about 13 hours. There are 2 cases of initialization of Time-Code
of B-DVR.
When user records and playback over 13 hours, the value of Time-Code
converts to the initialized value.
Another case, it happens in pause even though user
recorded under 13 hours. According to these phenomena, the real recording time cannot
be same with the Time-Code in VFD.
It is caused by the inaccurate calculation of TimeCode information in MPEG-2 file and cannot be fixed under the existing system.
However, the related Time-Code information in VFD supports to search image and
find the general location. User can use this Time-Code information for Mark In/Out
and simple reference.
