Chapter 1 Introduction  
AVerDiGi EB1504 MPEG4/MPEG4+ is a 4-channel stand-alone DVR unit that  
provides real-time monitoring and digital recording of surveillance video. Up to four  
video cameras and four sensor devices can be hooked up to this DVR unit. It also  
provides one audio input and output channel.  
Surveillance, digital recording and playback are controlled through the front panel  
buttons. With the On-Screen-Display (OSD) menu, user can customize video  
recording setting, sensor and alarm settings, password protection, hard drive  
recycling, and more. Through USB connection, user can playback the video with  
the bundled software, segment the video to keep the wanted portion exclusive and  
save it in MPG/AVI format. At the same time, also capture still image and save it in  
BMP or JPG format or print it.  
Surveillance video is recorded in high-quality MPEG4 format. Two recording modes  
are supported; D1 Mode can record video from each video camera in higher  
resolution (720 x 480 / 720 x 576) at 60/50 fps and CIF Mode can record video in  
lower resolution (360 x 240 / 360 x 288) and up to 120/100 fps (NTSC/PAL).
