REC Setting
This page allows you to set the recording rate
and recording quality, and enables you to
continue recording when the disk is full.
REC RATE:
This option is for adjusting the number of pictures
recorded very second.
 For an NTSC unit, there are 4 different recording
rates you can select from: 30F/S (30 frames per
second), 15F/S, 6F/S, and 2F/S.
 For a PAL unit, there are 4 different recording
rates you can select from: 25F/S (20 frame per
second), 12.5F/S, 6F/S and 2F/S.
REC QUALITY:
You can select from 4 levels of image quality:
BEST, HIGH, STANDARD, and BASIC.
Selecting the BEST image for use provides
higher-resolution recorded images, and
normally takes up more storage space than a
HIGH, STANDARD or BASIC image does.
DISK FULL:
This option determines the way to utilize
storage media in case of a full disk.
REWRITE: When the hard disk is full, the device
continues recording by displacing the old data.
STOP: When the hard -disk is full, the device
will stop recording.
AUDIO:
OFF: Disables AUDIO recording.
ON: Enables AUDIO recording.
NOTE: The audio function can only be activated
in the following refresh rates in NTSC(PAL):
30(25), 15(12.5), 6(6) and 2(2) frames/sec.
TIME STAMP:
Select “ON” to add a timestamp to the recording
files. Select “OFF” to deactivate this function.
POST-REC DURATION:
After the ACC is powered off (ACC OFF), the
MDR-304A will continue recording for the time
which is set in the "POST-REC DURATION"
time. This option determines the duration of the
post-recording time after the ACC is turned off.
There are 9 options you can select from: OFF,
1 MIN, 5 MIN, 10 MIN, 30 MIN, 60 MIN, 90 MIN,
120 MIN and NON STOP.
OFF: The recording will stop automatically when
the vehicle motor is turned off.
NON-STOP: This option allows for continuous
recording after a vehicle has been switched off.
However, this depends on the amount of battery
power available, as it can run only as long as
there is power. Enough power will be left
untapped by this option to turn the vehicle engine
on the next time the user starts it.
Note: If the voltage is less than 10.4 volts, the
battery is in the "Too low" mode", and the
MDR-304A will automatically power off and
there may be a problem in starting the
engine.
