3.2 Record Set-up
As standard, AfterBurner is shipped configured for 24 hour time-lapse recording (at 2
pictures per second) in medium quality. This may be altered by pressing the “MENU”
key 3 times to show the following screen:
Set Record Mode
===================
DVD: 24.0h 2.08fps
Quality: M Vid-only
Initially, the record time per DVD is flashing, indicating it may be altered by the ▲ ▼
keys. Once set to the required record time per DVD, press ► to scroll to the next
parameter, in this case video quality. Again use ▲ ▼ to select the required quality
setting. Press ► to enable / disable audio recording. Audio recording should only be
enabled in real-time record modes, as audio is not useful with time-lapse video (even
when shown as enabled).
TIP: pressing the “MENU” key, or letting the screen time-out, stores the new
configuration.
DVD: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 Hours, 7 days, 1 month, 1 year.

fps: record rate in frames per second (fps) or frames per minute
(fpm) calculated from the record time / quality settings.

Record Mode: Video only: video only recording (default)
Aud+Vid: audio & video recording (use with real-time recording
only)
Aud-mode: records a stereo audio track along side a low
resolution video feed extending record time to approximately 8
hours per DVD.

for Audio-Mode operation.
