Typical DVL Application
Stack's 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 is easily removed and played on a PC or laptop using a
standard media player application. Recordings can also be
copied to DVD for playback on either a PC or DD player.
A data overlay feature is available so that date, time and GPS
data may be stamped onto the recorded video. Connecting
the DVR directly by CAN-bus to a Stack Data System allows
up to 128 channels of data, including GPS and the internal
3-axis G sensor channels, to be recorded alongside the video
and audio. The recording can be viewed and analyzed in the
supplied Stack DataPro analysis software.
Stack DVLs feature a rugged machined aluminum housing
specifically designed and manufactured to protect the unit in
harsh and extreme environments. The unit is compact and
Chapter 1. Introduction
2 Stack DVL User Guide
durable with no moving parts (other than the sealed CF card
access door) and is capable of operating where normal VCRs
or DV recorders can not. Its anti-vibration and shock-
resistant abilities are perfect for consideration as commercial
off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment. Stack DVLs have been
successfully used in many demanding applications such as
motorsport, military vehicles, aerospace, marine and many
more.
CLUBMAN-3 is perfect for applications that don't require
full environmental protection whilst PRO-4 is a fully
waterproof unit with Motorsport “AS” connectors and a
higher operating temperature range. Both models have an
A/V output for connection to an external monitor.
Recording can be triggered automatically using the built-in
3-axis G sensor, from the Stack MF module or using the
included remote control record trigger switch with status
LED.
Stack DVLs 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 DVL 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 DVL 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 DVL 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 16).
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)
