STACK Digital Video Recorder Introduction
Users Guide 1
Chapter 1 - Introduction
The Stack Digital Video Recorder (DVR) is a compact, solid-state,
digital video recorder designed specifically for use in harsh
environments, where a standard video recorder or digital video
recorder could not operate.
The unit is housed in a rugged, waterproof enclosure containing no
moving parts making it ideal for use in harsh environments, such as
exposure to continual shock and vibration over extended periods as
well as extreme climate conditions and temperatures. The system
is DC powered and has optional audio inputs at microphone or line
level.
Typical Digital Video Recorder Application
Originally introduced to complement our award winning range of
motorsport products, the DVR can be applied to a much broader
spectrum of mobile engineering applications where protection
from a harsh environment is required.
The DVR can be supplied with products from our own range of
data display or data acquisition systems, including a video kit
incorporating a bullet CCD camera, and even a full Synchronised
Video or Video Overlay Data Acquisition System. Alternatively
the DVR can be supplied as a stand-alone, harsh environment
Digital Video Recorder for use with an existing video system.
Introduction STACK Digital Video Recorder
2 Users Guide
The DVR utilises broadcast standard MPEG-2 video compression
to record high quality Real-time video and audio to a PC Flash
Disk. This incorporates the ability to burn the date and time on to
the recorded video. Once a recording has been made, the Flash
Disk may be removed and played on a PC or laptop using a
standard media player application. Recordings may also be
archived to DVD using standard DVD burning software.

Essential User Information STACK Digital Video Recorder
4 Users Guide
Video Standard
The DVR is configured by default either for the NTSC or PAL
video standards depending on the intended country of use. If the
equipment you have uses the other video standard (eg, the DVR is
configured for NTSC but your equipment is PAL), you must
reconfigure the DVR as described on page 212.
Only NTSC and PAL are currently supported.
Deleting Files
Deleting files on the removable Flash Disk / PCMCIA Card does
not recover disk space. Only a reformat will recover space on the
Flash Disk. A Quick Format is sufficient, see page 14. Once a
recording has been made which you intend to keep, transfer the file
to your PC’s hard drive and then perform a reformat.
For the remainder of this guide the use of the term “Flash Disk”
shall be used to include a PCMCIA Card device too.
Using a New Removable Flash Disk
The DVR will only operate with a Flash Disk formatted with a
FAT32 (File Allocation Table) File System. Before using a new
disk, check its File System by inserting it into a PC running
Windows XP and display the disk properties by right clicking the
disk icon in “My Computer”. If supplied as FAT16, reformat to
FAT32, see page 14.
Playing a Recording
The files produced by the DVR are fully MPEG-2 compliant.
They may be played directly from the card by inserting it into a PC
with a suitable PCMCIA slot / adapter. However, better replay
results are usually obtained by transferring the file to the PC’s hard
drive, see page 12.
