1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing this high quality Digital Multiplex Recorder. The DMR converts analog
NTSC or PAL video to digital images and records them to a removable hard disk drive. Digitally
recorded video has many advantages compared to analog video recorded on tape. There is no
need to adjust tracking. Digital video can be indexed by time schedule or events, and you can
instantly view video after selecting the time or event. You can freeze frames, fast-forward, fast-
reverse, slow-forward, and slow-reverse without image streaking or tearing. It can be used as a
replacement for both a time-lapse VCR and a multiplexer in a security installation.
