6.5  AFTER IMAGE REMOVAL 
  The DVR unit is capable of recording video using one of three different resolutions. 
When using the 720 x 480 resolution, two fields are mixed. Because of the timing gap 
between the two fields, according to the standardized image rules, after image might 
occur to high speed moving images. The Fusion DVR unit allows you to remove this by 
pressing the After Image Removal button. 
  The images below demonstrate the filtered screen.

6.6 SEARCH OPTIONS OVERVIEW 
  The Search Options allows the user to find the requested images quickly, enhance the 
image quality, and export the video or images in a number of ways. 
 
Index Search: Used to perform a search based on Motion detection and Sensor 
activation. Allows for quickly narrowing down large amounts of 
recorded video based on particular criterion. 
 
Preview Search: Allows for narrowing down recorded video in a 24 Hour period.  
Each day is broken into 24 images, one image for each hour of 
the day. (The images are taken from the first second of each 
hour). When an image is selected, the ‘hour’ chosen is then 
broken down into 6 images, one image for every 10 minute 
increment. When a 10-minute increment image is selected, 10 
images are displayed, one for every minute within the 10 minute 
period. From this point, the selected image can be applied to the 
Main Search. 
 
Object Search: Used to specify a region on an image and perform a search 
based on any motion that has occurred within that region. 
 
Status Search: Displays recorded video in a color coded format that allows easy 
selection of the portion of video you wish to play. 
  
6.7  PERFORMING A BASIC SEARCH 
  There are several different types of searches that can be performed on the DVR unit. 
The most basic involves simply selecting the date, the time, the camera, and pressing 
play. 
  1.  Select a date using the calendar. 
  2.  Select a time by adjusting the hour and minute slide bars. 
  3.  Select one or more cameras. 
 4. Press Play. Video can be played forwards, backwards, or frame-by-frame.

6.8  DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME 
  The DVR automatically adjusts for Daylight Savings Time changes. When the hour 
“jumps forward” no video is lost because an hour is simply skipped.   
  
6.9 TIME SYNC 
  The Time Sync option synchronizes a single channel of video to playback in real time. 
Ordinarily the video may playback slower or faster depending on several factors, 
including how many PPS recorded and number of cameras playing at the same time.  
 
In addition, the Time Sync option will be automatically enabled when an audio channel 
is selected inside Search.  
  1.  Select a single image to synchronize by double-clicking on an image. 
  2.  Select a channel of audio (optional). 
 3. Press the Time Synch button. The video will now playback in real time.

6.10  PRINTING AN IMAGE 
  The DVR can print a recorded image to a local or network printer. 
  1.  From the Search screen, stop on the image to print. Double-click the image.  
NOTE:  Only one camera can be selected at a time for this function to work. 
  2.  Click on the Print button. A Print Options window appears. Depending on the 
printer being used, there may be several printing options available. Refer to the 
printer manual for more information. 
 3. Press the Print button to print the selected images. 
 NOTE: The message “NO DEFAULT PRINTERS INSTALLED” will display if no 
printer is installed. 
 
 
6.11  ‘SAVE TO’ FUNCTION 
  The DVR unit can export single images in the .JPG file format, save video clips in 
the .AVI format, or output to a VCR using the s-video port. The JPG and AVI file 
formats are extremely common with virtually universal computer support making them 
ideal formats to use. A digital signature is also attached to every .JPG and .AVI file 
exported by the DVR for use with the bundled Digital Verifier application. This function 
is unique to the DVR and its Verification software and should not interfere with viewing 
the files using other applications. 
 
JPG: The format (.jpg) is optimized for compressing full-color or grayscale 
photographic images. JPG images are 24-bit (16.7 million color) graphics. 
JPG is used to export a single image or frame. 
 
AVI: AVI image data can be stored uncompressed, but it is typically compressed 
using a Windows-supplied or third party compression and decompression 
module called a codec. AVI files save a video clip. 
 
Analog 
Out Sends a full screen video signal to the s-video port of the DVR. This feature 
is only available on DVRs with an s-video out.

1 Export Type Selects method used for export. 
 
2 AVI Duration Enter duration (in seconds) for recording the AVI file. 
Although 100 is the longest displayed, a manual time may 
be entered. 
 
3 Analog Out Sets whether to export video in real-time or based on the 
Speed Bar setting in the Search Menu. 
 
4 Quality Setup (image quality) It may be necessary to reduce the overall size of an AVI 
file; for example, to email to someone. AVI file sizes can be 
reduced by reducing the image quality. By reducing the 
image quality, the AVI video appears more pixilated. When 
size is not an issue, setting quality to 100 is highly 
recommended. 
 
5 Export The Export button begins the saving process. 
(Cancel closes the window without exporting.) 
 
6 Compression 
Codec You may choose the codec that will be used in order to 
compress the AVI file. Different codecs provide different 
benefits in quality, size and compatibility.
