SECTION - 6 HAWK4/8/A / FALCON/4 EAGLE8/A RECORDERS HAWK The HAWK line of recorders can perform both video and or audio recording. The record time is 30 f/s=1.7 HR; 15F/S=3 HR; 5 f/s-8 HR; 1 F/S=17 HR. The HAWK memory expansion cards (up to a total of 8) can be added to the HAWK for longer-term recordings. Each HAWK memory card adds 3 hours of lowresolution recording at 15 f/s. The HAWK2 has 4 Gigabytes of memory while the HAWK4 has 8 Gigabytes.
and stop buttons. The HAWK8/A does not have the local audio playback controls. The HAWK8/A uses the black slide switch to activate the recorder into record mode. The mini USB port on the HAWK8/A is different from the HAWK/4. The new generation HAWK4 uses the slide switch and new mini USB port. Refer to Figure 6-2 The HAWK8/A Figure 6- 2 The HAWK8/A EAGLE8/A The EAGLE 8/A is an audio only recording device.
FALCON/2 The FALCON is the next generation audio / video recording device. The FALCON is a slimmer version of the HAWK with more memory. The advantages of the FALCON are you can remove the recorder from the aluminum shell in order to place the recorder in objects where size makes a difference. The FALCON2/4 memory is 4 Gigabytes, which gives you a 4 hour recording at 30 fps at high resolution The FALCON uses a rechargeable lithium battery.
BATTERY Installation The HAWK uses two 1.5 v, "AA" batteries for operation. The batteries are installed series providing 3 volts. The HAWK8/A uses 2 and 4 “AAA” batteries. Please note the label in the bottom of the unit for proper battery installation. Two "AA" Alkaline batteries will last for 3.5 – 4 hours, while two “AA” Photo Lithium cells will last for 7.5 - 8 hours. You should not mix battery technology.
If the battery is low then the LED will flash ON and OFF slowly. No red or green LED present the record is not recording. NOTE! If the low battery indicator is flashing, turn the unit “OFF” replace the cells and turn the unit ON or “RCD” again. The computer will display the fact that the “last recording” was stopped short because of a low battery condition. The green "LED", further back, will be ON when the unit is in playback. In later software releases the LED will follow the playback audio levels.
CAMERA CIF CIF VGA VGA CAMERA RESOLUTION COLOR LOW RESOLUTION B/W LOW RESOLUTION COLOR HIGH RESOLUTION B/W HIGH RESOLUTION COLOR STRIPES NONE RED YELLOW YELLOW/RED MICROPHONE The HAWK/EAGLE8 and FALCON can use its stereo internal or external microphones. If the external microphone is plugged in it is automatically selected for use. The Left and Right microphone position is engraved on the chassis. The internal microphone is factory set for 6 dB more sensitivity, over the external microphone.
Next Generation: Our next generation recorders such as the HAWK/4, HAWK8, FALCON/4 use a black switch that slides into designated modes "ON" and "OFF If the remote record switch is attached to the RECORDER it must be used for ON/OFF control. When the red slide switch is slid to the “ON” position a black dot appears and the recorder begins recording. For special applications, ADS also makes a set of external microphones without the external ON/OFF switch.
The playback function uses all 4 switches. NOTE that you must be in the OFF state to re-enter the record mode. The REW and FWD switches have different meaning when in PLAY or PAUSE. Note that “playback” does not erase any data. Once you are finished with local “playback”, you may continue recording from where you left off by first turning the RECORDER “off” then pressing RCD. The HAWK8/A and FALCON4 do not have PLAYBACK capability.
