QuickStream DV - Portable FireWire Hard Disk DV Recorder - 15
☞ The QuickStream DV operates like a high performance FireWire hard drive
when connected to your computer workstation and can be used to store any type
of data you’d like. However, do not put your own data in the “Media” folder
where the QuickStream DV stores the recorded video clips as this is a special
folder and placing other types of data here may interfere with the QuickStream
DVs recording function.
☞ The QuickStream DV is formatted as a FAT32 volume in order to be cross
platform compatible and this particular format is necessary for proper recording
function when connected to a DV camcorder. Do not reformat or reinitialize the
QuickStream DV as this will interfere with the QuickStream DVs recording
function.
MCE StreamManager Software for Mac OS X and Windows
A folder labeled “Mac OS X software” and “Windows software” can be found on
the QuickStream DV. Inside this folder you will find the MCE StreamManager
software. You may copy the software onto your Mac’s main hard drive or you
may launch it from the QuickStream DV. The software is extremely intuitive and
easy to use and allows you to quickly preview, sort, rename, copy, move or
delete clips you’ve recorded onto the QuickStream DV. You may set the Mac OS
X version to auto-launch anytime a QuickStream DV is detected on your system.
See the accompanying Read-Me file for more information and any updated
features added since this manual was printed.
☞Due to Canopus’ proprietary format, MCE StreamManager software can not
playback clips recorded in the Canopus AVI file format. They can still be
renamed, moved, or copied from within MCE StreamManager, however.
