60D File Extension
This is a Kalatel-specific file extension and is the default format.
Advantages:
1.
The camera number and time labels are included with the images.
2.
A 60D file is unalterable video and can be used for police work. If the file was recorded while
playing recorded video, chain of custody is preserved. Chain of custody is the process of tracking
and validating a video back to its source.
Admissible chain of custody files MUST be recorded by a Kalatel DVR, THEN saved as a
.60D file.
3.
You can play back 60D video in Secure Perfect and Wavereader.
AVI File Extension
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is the most common compression technique used to encode audiovisual
information for personal computers.
1.
Video recorded in AVI format does not have a date and time label.
2.
You cannot play back an AVI file through the Secure Perfect application. You must use an
external application such as Windows Media Player.
3.
AVI files are not acceptable in a court of law.
Microsoft developed the AVI format. It is a common format on computers, and comes with the Windows
operating system as part of the "Video for Windows (VfW)" distribution. The format is interleaved such
that video and audio data are stored consecutively in an AVI file (that is, a segment of video data is
immediately followed by a segment of audio data). AVI is highly dependent on the type of hardware used
in the playback of images.
