Typical DVR2 Application
Stack DVR2 digital video recorders employ broadcast
standard MPEG-2 video compression to record high quality
real-time video and audio direct to a Compact Flash (CF)
card. The card can be removed with ease and played on a PC
or laptop using a standard media player application.
Recordings can be copied direct to DVD for playback on
either a PC or a DVD player. A data overlay feature is
available so that date, time and GPS Data may be stamped
onto the recorded video.
Stack DVR2s feature a rugged machined aluminium housing
specifically designed and manufactured to protect the unit in
harsh and extreme environments. The unit is compact and
durable with no moving parts (other than the sealed CF card
access door) and is capable of operating where normal VCRs
or DV recorders cannot. Recording in harsh environments,
such as continual shock and vibration, and extreme climate
conditions is now entirely possible, making it ideal for all
demanding recording applications. Its anti-vibration and
shock-resistant abilities are perfect for consideration as
commercial off the shelf (COTS) equipment. Stack DVR2s
have been successfully used in many demanding applications

such as land-based military vehicles, aerospace, marine and
many more.
The new Stack range of DVR2s has a model to suit your
needs: choose from variants offering up to four camera
inputs, higher bit-rate options for broadcast quality
recordings, models offering completely sealed units to IP67,
extended operating temperature ranges and extended
recordings capacity.
Stack DVR2s provide superior high-quality video recording
in real time over a wide range of bit rates suitable for
different applications - up to 20 Mbps is available, quality
equivalent or better than DV tape.

Video Standard
The DVR2 can be configured to either the PAL or NTSC
video standard to match the camera which is connected.
!Only PAL and NTSC are currently supported.
Using a New Compact Flash Card
The DVR2 will only operate with a Compact Flash card
formatted with a FAT32 File System. Before using a new
card, check its File System by inserting it into a PC running
Windows XP or Vista and display the disk properties by right
clicking the disk icon in “My Computer”. If supplied as
FAT16, reformat to FAT32 (see page 17).
Playing a Recording
The files produced by the DVR2 are fully MPEG-2
compliant. They may be played directly from the card by
inserting it into a PC with a suitable Compact Flash card slot
or adapter. However, better replay results are usually
obtained by transferring the file to the PC’s hard drive (see
page 15).
Before Making a Recording
Before a recording session clear the Compact Flash card so
that maximum space is available. Deleting files can cause
the write/read speed of the removable Compact Flash card to
degrade but a format will restore its performance. A format
can be achieved using a PC running Windows XP or Vista.
Right-click on the disk icon in “My Computer” and select
“Format”. Ensure the “File system” is set to “FAT32”,
choose the “Quick Format” option and then click “Start” (see
page 17).
Alternatively click on the “Information” tab in the DVR
Configuration Utility and select “Format”. (see page 23)
