DESCRIPTION DX3100 digital video recorders (DVRs) combine the functions of a high-quality recorder with a multiplexer into a single unit. Both 8- and 16-channel models are available with 60, 120, or 240 GB hard drives. You can set the DX3100 to record video at either high (640 x 240) or low (352 x 240) resolution. The DX3100 software can be upgraded through the built-in floppy disk drive (FDD) or by remote download through a network connection. All units are capable of both NTSC and PAL formats.

OPERATING AND PROGRAMMING CONTROLS The DX3100 can be operated and programmed either from the front panel of the unit or from the IR (infrared) remote controller. NOTE: Each DX3100 has its own identification number or ID. This ID can be changed on the RECORDER SETUP screen on the unit. If you change the ID on the DX3100, you must enter the new ID on the IR remote controller (refer to DX3100-IR Remote Synchronization for more information).

STORAGE CALCULATIONS Due to the nature of digital video recording, the particular capabilities of the DX3100, and the different parameters for each installation, it is very difficult to calculate storage capacity. Desired image size, record rate, image quality, and number of channels are only a few of the variables that affect capacity. Before configuring the DX3100, work through this section to identify the desired settings for the DX3100 as well as all channels that are connected to it. This s

Average Image Size in KB (IMAGE SIZE) File size affects how long you can record for a given time period. The greater the file size, the faster you will use available hard disk space. The resolution setting reflects the size of the recorded display and thus the KB size per image. For 352 x 240, the average file size is 3KB to 5KB. A 640 x 240 choice results in a 4KB to 8KB average file size. These resolution settings only affect the image size, not the image quality. Actual image size can vary wi
