Additional Information on Operation
If recording is started immediately
after system startup
Prerecord time will be shorter.
If recording is started during
postrecord interval
Postrecording will be terminated and
next recording starts. There is no
prerecording interval for the second
recording.
In the cases shown below, the actual
prerecord and postrecord time may be
shorter than the respective setting.
Notes:
• If you press the [REC] button and
[STOP] button alternately in rapid
succession, the system may not
separate the two recording sessions,
resulting in a single video file.
• If the remaining capacity of the P2
card is low, the prerecord time or post-
record time may become shorter.
• Postrecording is interrupted by
playback, trial shoot (RecCheck),
file restoration or administrator
setup.
You can select and record video input
at the [CAMERA1] or [CAMERA2]
connector on the rear panel of the
recorder. Also, when the action set
for the detection of trigger signals
(GPIO1 - 8) is “CAM1REC” or
“CAM2REC” and the trigger signal
is enabled, the selected video is
recorded. If prerecording is enabled
and the video source is switched by a
recording trigger, the prerecord video is
taken from the source selected before
switching, and the video is taken from
the source selected after switching. You
can select whether the video source is
switched by the recording trigger or
not, as well as selecting which video is
recorded upon switching.
Notes:
• When switching video input, the
video or audio may be briefly
disrupted.
• For best results, minimize the
amount of video source switching
while recording.
