30DIGITAL ZOOMDigital zoom in video playback operates differently than it does in Live View as described at thebeginning of this chapter. Both are digital zooms where the image is electronically enlarged - usuallyin exchange for a decrease in image clarity. You can digitally enlarge an area of a video by clicking anddragging with the cursor on the area of interest. This action will draw a green rectangle on the screen.When you release the mouse button, the cursor will change to a magnifying glass.Click within the border to zoom into the area. If you need to re-draw the box, merely click outside thearea to dismiss the box and then re-select the area.PICTURE 3.2-3PICTURE 3.2-4In the case of a multi-screen viewing mode, thezoomed-in view will fill only that portion of thescreen occupied by that channel. You can switchto single-screen mode by double-clicking on thescreen as described earlier. You can also go tofull-screen mode and back to multi-screen modeas well. Right-clicking with the mouse will returnyou to the full channel view.VIDEO CLIPThis allows you to save only a portion of a video clip. For example; if you have a camera set to record allthe time and it captures some action in a five-minute segment, you can clip only that portion and back itup. In addition to making an incident readily available, saving only the portion of interest will reduce theamount of disk space needed to back it up.STEP 1.

Drag the playback bar to the end of the section, or allow the video playback to progress tothe desired endpoint and press the Clip button again.STEP 4. Press the Backup button (b) to save the file to a USB drive connected to the USB back-upport on the front of the DVR.
