PLAYBACK CONTROL BAR
The controls operate in a similar fashion to those of a conventional DVR or other video playback device
but with a few additional commands available to you:
Previous/Next Record: Moves to the prior or following recorded event, respectively.
Fast Forward/Rewind: In addition to their normal operation, clicking on these buttons multiple times
will speed up or slow down the rate or progression - forwards or backwards - through the file. The
speed can also be selected directly by clicking on the small upward pointing arrows to the right of
each button. You can select from 1/4 speed to 16-times normal speed forward and rewind speeds
of 8-times, 16-times and 32-times normal speed. The current speed will be displayed at the bottom
center of the Playback bar.
Screen Display Mode: As with the Control Bar, these icons allow you to choose the number of
channels you wish to view in playback. Clicking on the upward pointing arrows to the right of each
icon will allow you to select which channels to view in that mode. Channels with no recordings will
appear blank.
Zoom: Available in single screen display mode, this digitally enlarges a section of the display. Select this
tool and then click-and-drag to select a portion of the video feed to enlarge it. Clicking and dragging
within the zoomed-in area will allow you to move to other areas of the image. Right-clicking will return
the video to regular display mode.
Color: Adjust the brightness, hue, saturation and contrast for any channel. Please note that this will only
effect the playback for this channel on the DVR itself. It will not change the recording.

Playback Progress Bar: The slider moves along the Playback Progress Bar as the video plays. Moving
this with the mouse will go to another segment of the video. You can move to another point in a single
video by first clicking on that channel and then moving the slider to the desired time. Other channels
will continue progressing normally.
Trim: Using this tool allows you to save a segment of the video record rather than having to back up the
entire file.
To select a segment move the Playback
Progress Bar to before the desired location in
the video and begin playback. Once you reach
the desired starting point, click on the Trim
button to set the beginning of the clip. The
button’s icon will flip indicating that it is waiting
for you to select the ending point. When you
have reached that point, click the button again

Chose the format in which you want to save your video clip. The .DVR format requires a special player
program which will be included in a second folder on the drive. The .AVI format will work with most
standard media playback software on PC or Mac computers. If selecting .AVI as the format for your
files then you should deselect the Backup Player box.
Click
Start to begin the download and the progress bar at the bottom will fill up as the file is
transferred.
For more information regarding backing up files, please see Chapter 5.
to complete your edit. The starting and ending times will be displayed at the bottom of the
Playback
Control Bar.
Backup: Once you have created your video clip,
the Backup button will turn white indicating
that you can save your clip directly to a USB
drive connected to the USB port on the front of
the DVR. The drive must be connected before
clicking on the Backup button.
When the Backup button is clicked, the Backup
window will open. It will list details about the file
and the storage media that you have connected.
If you have more than one drive connected
- including ESATA, USB CD/DVD burners or
other external media, you can chose the desired
destination in the Storage Media pull-down.
If you do not have enough space on the disk to
save your file, you may select Disk Cleanup to
remove all files from that disk.
IMPORTANT!
If you have audio recorded along with the video, you MUST
select the
.DVR format in order to preserve it. Be sure to check the box next to
Desktop Player to also download the player program which can then be used
to convert the file - with audio intact - to the more conventional .AVI format.
