FILE TRANSFERS
The DGy 201x records video and audio to disk. The disk can be a
removable or optional fixed, or optional remote disk. Recordings, stored
as one or more data files, can be transferred to an external device for
subsequent viewing on a PC using the RGB Spectrum software player in
conjunction with the Windows Media Player.
It is also possible to transfer files from an external drive to a DGy 201x
for later replay on the DGy 201x. This method can be used if it is
necessary to clone a DGy 201x recorder.
Transfer is accomplished using the DGy 201x FTP (File Transfer
Protocol) client.
FTP TRANSFER
. . . . . . . . .
TIME
Transfers can involve very large file sizes. The transfer rate on a typical
network connection is similar to the rate at which the image can be
stored to disk. This means that the transfer of files is approximately real-
time; a clip that is 15 minutes in length will take approximately 15
minutes to transfer.
STARTING THE FTP
. . . . . . . . .
CLIENT
The FTP Client is started from the DGy Applications Suite shown in
Figure 4-1. See Connecting to the DGy Applications Suite on
page 19.
Important If the WCP is currently open, close it. The WCP and
FTP cannot operate at the same time.
