DVR16 = DVR16M – DIGITAL MULTIPLEX RECORDER

1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing the DVR16M. It converts analogue NTSC or PAL video to digital images and records them

on a removable hard disk drive. Digitally recorded video has several advantages over analogue video recorded on

tape. There is no need to adjust tracking. Digital video can be indexed by time schedule or events and you can

instantly view video after selecting the time or event. You can freeze frames, fast-forward, fast-reverse, slow-forward

and slow-reverse without image streaking or tearing. It can be used as a replacement for both a time-lapse VCR and

a multiplexer in a security installation. Read the manual carefully before bringing this device into service.
