DVR3-540

We supply a version of the DVR specifically engineered for video professionals. Designed with mobility and ruggedness in mind, Stack's DVR3-540 delivers stunning picture quality even under the most extreme conditions.

 

The DVR3-540 captures video and audio that is equivalent or better than DV tape but is immune to the susceptibility of non solid-state devices to shock, vibration and temperature.
 

 

 

Unrivalled Recording Quality

The DVR3-540 offers 10 selectable fixed bit-rates (1 to 20 Mbps) and Variable Bit-Rate (VBR) that can achieve bit-rates in excess of 30Mbps, even up to 50Mbps - dependant on image content. This matches the maximum bit-rate of Blu--Ray (in comparison, DVD's maximum bit-rate is 9.8Mbps).

 

The higher bit-rate not only gives sharper pictures and more vivid colours but is better capable of capturing fast-moving content such as sport without introducing compression artifacts.

An option on the DVR3-540 is Intra-frame (I-frame) only record mode - a great benefit to video professionals using a non-linear editing system such as Avid or Final Cut Pro.

CAN-bus Interface
Stack DVRs support a number of external interfaces. The CAN interface allows a DVR3 to be directly connected to one or more Stack data expansion modules or a third party ECU. A GPS receiver can also be connected to the DVR to provide speed, position, altitude, time and date information.


Data Overlay Option
Click to enlargeThe GPS and G-force Data Overlay option enables data from these CAN and/or GPS sources, together with the internal 3-axis G-sensor and internal real time clock, to be overlaid on the recorded video image. Positioning the data on the image is simple, using the drag-and-drop PC configuration software supplied (above). A screen-shot from one of the camera inputs can be used as a background to further aid overlay composition.

The internal g sensor can also be used to automatically stop/start recordings.

 

User- configurable Record Modes
As well as the conventional record mode, the DVR3 range also provides a �continuous loop� record mode, whereby once the CF card becomes full, the DVR continues recording, overwriting the oldest recordings.

The DVR3 range also include an �Event Recording� mode, to enable specific externally triggered events to be recorded, with user selectable pre-trigger and post-trigger periods.
