Capture operation

There are three methods of capturing with the HQ RECORDER.

Auto capture

Captures automatically, detecting the input signal.

Manual capture

Captures manually. Two methods for manual capture are a way of starting
and ending manually and a way of starting manually and ending automatically
by specifying the capturing duration or ending time.

Scheduled capture

Captures according to the specified date/time.

NOTE

To prevent the PC from going into standby mode during capturing,
modify these settings including the screensaver setting.

POINT

The capturing operation

The captured file is created in the folder specified at the [Folder] field.
When a name for the captured file is not specified, the date/time
information is utilized to generate a file named "mmddhhmmss.avi,"
where (m:month, d:date, h:hour, m:minute, s:second).
If a file with the same name exists, a dialog will appear, prompting
you to overwrite it or rename it with serial numbers.
During capturing, all operations other than stopping, menu
operations and switching to full screen/normal screen, are disabled.
Each button is grayed out, indicating that the button is unavailable.
During capturing, the application cannot be terminated.

Scheduled Capture

While capturing is in progress, other scheduled capturing will not
start.
As soon as the current capturing stops/ends, scheduled capturing
will start.
During both scheduled and manual capturing, when the stream is
interrupted without stopping the process, the captured file will be
divided and stored with a serial number.
When the [Stop capture] button is pressed during scheduled
capturing, the capturing stops, even though an unprocessed section
still remains. The remaining schedule will be ignored.
The ending time of the scheduled capture can be modified with
Capture Duration in the popup menu of the task tray icon.
