Recording to a USB Hard Drive
Recording to a USB hard drive is very similar to recording to a USB ash drive. The primary benet to using a USB hard drive
is that it can provide much greater storage capacity than a USB ash drive. Before using a USB hard drive with your
MVR Lite, note the following:
• Delete any software that came pre-loaded on the drive (it may be incompatible with the
MVR Lite).
• To protect your videos and images, it is important to back them up by transferring them
from the external hard drive to your computer or network.
• Due to the large capacities of external USB hard drives, it will take the MVR Lite
approximately 20-60 seconds to recognize the device. Please be patient and wait
until the external hard drive has been recognized. The external hard drive has been
recognized when the New Patient backlight becomes illuminated and the USB icon
appears on the connected monitor.
CAUTION:
After inserting the
external hard drive,
DO NOT UNPLUG!
Wait at least
one (1) minute
allowing the system
enough time
to recognize
the external hard drive.
How to Determine the Format of a USB Hard Drive
• Plug the drive to a Windows computer.
• Right-click on the drive icon and select “Properties”.
• In the general tab, the File System (format) will be listed.
Transferring Images from a USB Drive to Your Computer
1. If you record your videos to a USB ash drive or USB hard drive, unplug it from the MVR Lite at the end
of your imaging studies. Insert the drive into a USB connector on your computer.
Note: Do not remove the ash drive from MVR Lite while recording! Your recording le may get corrupted.
2. The computer will manage the USB drive just like any other drive on your computer. Navigate to the drive and open it
so you can see the folders it contains.
3. You can click on the images and videos to review them while they are on the drive, or you can move them to your
computer’s hard drive and review and store them there (recommended). Refer to Windows or Mac OS documentation
for information on how to access drives on your computer and manage les.
Hard Drive Formats
USB hard drives come in different “formats”: FAT32, NTFS or exFAT. The MVR Lite can process all three formats.
In case-of non-recognition of the USB hard drive, it may be helpful to format the drive to FAT32.
Note: The automatic video repair function does not work with the le format exFAT.
MediCapture recommends to use hard drives in format FAT32 or NTFS.
