8 Archiving Images onto CD
Sections of the recording that you wish to store onto CD are called “incidents”. Up to ten incidents may be
set. These may then be recorded onto a CD. Incidents are marked while the VDM is in
PLAY mode.
The
INCIDENT mode displays the start and end time of any incidents that have been marked, and the
total amount of space on the CD that will be used (in Megabytes). This must not exceed the available size of
the CD (around 650 to 750 Mbytes). After you have stored incidents onto a CD you may of course clear the
markers and mark further incidents for storing onto another CD. If no CD is currently in the drive, the system
assumes that 650Mbytes will be available.
8.1 Quick Incident Recording

DEFAULT key while viewing the INCIDENT screen is all that is required to set an
