With the acquisition of an All-Weather Digital Video Recorder/Monitor, MPC-ML2DVR,
we welcome you to MarinePC’s family of ruggedized professional marine grade prod-
ucts.
You will soon become familiar with the quality difference in this bright sunlight-reada-
ble (~1 nit to 1,000 nits) Monitor, specically designed to meet or exceed MIL-Specs for
use in harsh marine environments. MarinePC has incorporated the latest LED backlight-
ing to increase brightness and super-low dimming without increased heat, and extends
temperature, shock and vibration specications.
The MPC-ML2DVR also integrates full DVR capability directly inside the case of the wa-
terproof monitor, eliminating separate mounting interconnecting cables, saving space
and providing environmental protection and tranportability for the DVR.
In addition, this new release, Series 2, incorporates user programmable function but-
tons conveniently mounted on the bezel to provide customizable multiple functionality
in one ruggedized station.
The MPC-ML2DVR handles a wide-range of severe environments, making it the rst
choice of serious mariners for their demanding applications. Designed to be rugged,
the 800x600 (SVGA) Resolution Flat Panel Display is engineered to mate perfectly to all
leading edge cameras including infrared, image amplied and visible spectrum sources.
Housed in a milled billet aluminum case, the slim-prole MPC-ML2DVR is light weight
and watertight, with fully sealed (IP67) case and standard MIL-C-38999 connectors.
Engineered to be energy efcient to conserve power, the MPC-ML2DVR has three
Composite Video inputs, with a source select button that lets you easily move between
up to three inputs, and also provides one video output. Recorded les can be easily
downloaded in standard .wmv le format via a USB connection.
Our MarinePC Service and Support Team is prepared to assist you – we are MarinePC.
Welcome.

DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER DVR
DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER (DVR)
A fundamental characteriastic of the DVR is as an integrated Display/Digital Video Recorder.
TheDVRprovidesreal-timerecordingofhighframe-rate(30fps)24-bithi-resolutionimage-
ry.Videolesarecompressedintheindustry-standardMPEG-4leformat(mp4).Snapshots
(jpg)canbemade.VideoandSnapshotlesarestoredintheMediaGallery(MediaMenu,
Figure10).
The DVR stops recording when the user is in the Media Menu (Figure 10).
MEDIA FILE NAMES. Video or snapshot File names reference Military naming format: YY-
MM-DD_HR_MN_SEC. Example: January 15, 2015, 18:15.47 is read as 15-01-15_18-15-47.mp4.
File names are readable when Display is connected to a PC and viewed as a remote disk drive.
When the USB is connected Windows will recognize the display as a storage device. However, the
DVR must be in download mode rst.
MEDIA FILE STORAGE CAPACITY. Total Media File Storage Capacity is based on the memory GB
installed in the PSM: 32GB is standard; 64GB is optional. Memory is not eld-upgradeable or eld-
replaceable. If the display’s memory capacity is unknown, this can be determined when the display
is connected to a PC for Media Library PC download (Figure 12).
Recording Space Indicator. In many menu screens, in upper left
corner of screen is a bar indicator depicting available DVR recording
space. This yellow bar decreases as DVR storage space is used. (Figure 3).
When 10 minutes of storage remains, the Recording message box adds the countdown of minutes,
from 10 to 0.
The Bar Indicator disappears when the user is in the Media Menu (Figure 10) since the DVR stops
recording in that menu.
VIDEO RECORDING TIME. For full motion, full color feed, recording time is approximately 1GB/
hour.
Black and white feed (i.e. Infrared (IR) Camera) and/or lesser bandwidth signals should result in
media storage using less than 1GB/hour.
DVR Operating Modes. The DVR has two operating modes: Standard (as in Live Video Feed)
and Playback, through Media Gallery viewing. See section Media Menu, Figure 10.
