RETRO DISK
The Retro Disk mode records video in a continuous loop to a
user-defined portion of disk space. Pressing record seamlessly
begins active recording. The Retro Disk session is appended to
the beginning of the new clip. The result is a set of clips
beginning with the cached video and continuing with the newly
recorded video.
• When calculating the amount of hard disk space needed for
a Retro Disk record session, always include additional
space beyond the recording requirements. The added space
depends on the length of the loop.
• Loops less than 60 minutes, need an additional 1 minute
of unused disk space.
• Loops 60 minutes and greater, require an additional 2GB
of unused disk space.
• When looping less than one hour, Retro Disk records the
loop in a series of 1 minute clips.
• Retro Disk is available in all record modes.
• When Retro Disk is set, the symbols
L ( STOP/REC-PAUSE
and L) appear in the MR-HD100 display.
To initiate Retro Disk:
1. Pressing Record and the MR-HD100 goes into REC-
PAUSE mode and starts caching video.
When caching, the Home screen displays REC PAUSE and
a C .
2. Pressing Record a second time, begins active recording
at the last frame stored in the cache. The resulting video
clip has the cached video at the beginning.
