1. Introduction
The NETmc Marine Four264 is our latest entry level digital video recorder.
Based on our proven X-Ops technology, the Four264 is easy to use and has the ability to record
directly to removable storage devices or to a network location. The user interface is simple and
intuitive, and allows the user to take still images without interfering with the main video recording
files. Data can be overlaid on the video via the video overlay option.
Housed in a 1U 19" rack, the Four264 has the same footprint as its predecessor, the 73fifty DVR.
The Four264 records in MPEG4 format, which generates smaller video files than the MPEG2 format
of the 73fifty. With video and audio pass through, the Four264 has all the features required of a
DVR, designed around a simple to use user interface.

8. Integrated Overlay Option
Integrated overlay is provided as an additional option in Four264 DVRs:
If overlay is fitted, this cable must be plugged in at the rear of the unit as shown:
When overlay is fitted, there is a push button switch on the rear of the unit to toggle overlay power
on/off.
When switched off, the overlay circuits are completely bypassed. It may be necessary to switch off
the overlay, for example to get the best possible picture from a marginal signal.
To switch on the overlay, first switch on the overlay at the back of the unit, then click on the
Overlay Writer icon on the desktop :
The overlay manager software must be left open at all times when overlay is required. It can be
minimized (by clicking mini mode) when not in use (a shortcut for overlay writer will be on the
desktop if closed in error).

Overlay Writer allows the time/date to be generated from the PC – which may make it easier to
synchronise clocks. It also allows the user to type-set his page of text before actually seeing it
displayed on the video screen which can be very useful if the video is being recorded live.
Overlay Writer also allows multiple screens of data to be configured and toggled between – e.g.
header pages and normal running page. Additionally, all the pages can be saved to disk – so
operators can have sequences of custom pages saved on disk for each client – saving editing or
retyping between jobs.
