Playback & Backup on a Computer:
Playback on a PC has some signifi cant advantages over playing back footage on
the receiver itself.
Generally, computer playback offers a higher resolution monitor than most TVs,
and the video quality does not suffer from being transmitted via a composite video
signal.
To playback footage on your computer:
Remove the SD card from the receiver.•
Insert the SD card into a card reader attached to your computer.•
Open the SD card in your fi le browser (such as Explorer).•
Open the folder named “Video”.•
Each folder represents a date on which recordings were done. •
Individual recordings are listed by time, formatted as HHMMSS. For example, •
a recording taken at two-thirty in the afternoon and twelve seconds will be
named “143012_1”.
Note: If you do not have an SD card reader in your computer, you can purchase a
separate card reader. These are quite inexpensive and, using USB technology, allow
for quick “plug & play” installation.
Backup onto a PC
Once you’ve popped the SD card into a card reader connected to your computer,
the video fi les can be copied as per any other fi le. This is great for quick and easy
backing up footage.
To burn a DVD of your footage which will work in a stand-alone DVD player, you’ll
need to use a dedicated DVD authoring program. However, if it is simply for the
purpose of backing up footage to play on a computer, then burning the fi le as is
to a data DVD will suffi ce.
If you have diffi culty playing back footage on your computer, we suggest using
a different player. VLC player (available online at www.videolan.org/vlc) is a free
program which will can play fi les created on the ADW-400 without additional
software or codec packs.
