General Tools and Instruments DCS800 - Manual (Page 4)

• In Playback mode, you can browse the SD card for saved video and
picture files and view the media on the console’s LCD or on a larger TV
monitor. Video clips and photos also can be viewed on a PC: 1) by
removing the SD card and plugging it in directly; 2) through a card reader;
or 3) via the included USB cable. Photos are saved as .jpg files, so most
photo viewer applications can open them. However, although videos are
saved as .avi files, Microsoft Windows Media Player lacks the codec
needed to open them. Video files can be opened by more-versatile media
players such as freeVLC (www.videolan.org). The 4GB SD memory card
included with the DCS800 can store more than eight hours of QVGA
resolution video or two hours of VGA resolution video, in addition to
hundreds of photos.
• In Menu mode, you use familiar up/down scrolling motions and responses
to dialog boxes to navigate a main menu with six submenus. Collectively,
the menus and submenus let you:
• Browse and select video and photo files stored on the SD card in
chronological order or reverse chronological order
• Perform the following “housekeeping” functions: 1) bulk-erase the SD
card; 2) set the current time and date (together known as system time)
and date format; 3) enable or disable display of system time on the LCD,
4) choose any of 27 languages for menu and on-screen text, 5) select a
Video Out format, and 6) adjust the triggering time of the console’s Auto
Power Off function.
