Overview description
The M-Series iVDR is a multi-channel video disk recorder that allows four channels
of simultaneous record and playback. Media is stored on internal disk drives. Storage
capacity depends on the disk option installed and the video compression settings
selected.
The iVDR includes a built in disk recorder application that handles essential tasks —
record, edit, play, and create/play event lists. The optional front panel includes an
LCD display with touch screen, and transport controls to allow easy operation and
monitoring with minimal external connections.
Refer to the M-Series User Manual for other high-level descriptions of features,
controls, and applications.
