Selecting Video Sources
If more than one video device is connected and operational, selection of the video
source to be displayed on the LCD is made by pressing the button located on the lower
right of the MPC-ML10DVR. If two sources are present, pressing this button will switch
from one source to the other. If three sources are present, pushing this button will
successively display one, then the next and the next and then back to the original
source. The numbering of the input channels indicates the sequence of the selection
process.
Recording Video
The integrated full function DVR in the MPC-ML10DVR will record whatever is being
displayed on the LCD. If there is no active input, the DVR will not function. To start
recording, simply press the top right button marked REC. You will notice a RECORDING
message will be displayed in the upper right margin of the LCD to indicate recording
is in progress (this will not appear in the recorded le). A .wmv le with a sequenced
lename will be initiated including time and date information, and will continue to
capture whatever information is being displayed. If sources are switched, the DVR
will continue to record through the switch. The length of the le is indeterminate. To
stop recording, simply press the REC button again and the le will be closed and saved,
and the RECORDING message will disappear from the display. Alternately, pressing the
Stop button, marked with a square, will also stop the recording. This process can be
repeated any number of times, each time creating a unique .wmv le. Any number
of les can be created. A total of 8 hours of les can be recorded. If the solid state
memory storing the les is already full, the DVR will start to overwrite the existing les
starting with the oldest le.
VIDEO PLAYBACK
After stopping a recording, or at any other time when recording is not taking place,
any video le can be played back in the MPC-ML10DVR. To review any saved le,
simply press the Play-Pause button, second down on the right. The currently displayed
video input on the LCD will be replaced by the gallery, a list of thumbnail images of
sequentially numbered les. The last le saved will have the highest number and
be highlighted when entering this list. To select any previously saved le, press the
PREVIOUS button on the lower left. Press once to move back in sequence one at a
time. Use the NEXT button above the Previous button to move forward. To play back
the highlighted le, press the Play-Pause Button once to open this le, and press again
to play le from the beginning. Press again to Pause, press again to resume play. (TIP:
To speed the process from Record to Playback, simply pressing the Play button dur-
ing a Recording will automatically stop and save the le and put up the thumbnail le
display with the just stopped le hightlighted.)
