Making a Recording from the GUI
Video recordings are made using the Transport View of Channel 1 or 2. These channels can
record or play clips, but not both at the same time. Channels 3 and 4 are playback only. The
following steps are used to make a recording. Most configuration settings can be skipped once a
workflow is established. Channel 1 is used below as an example; all instructions apply equally to
channel 2.
Record Configuration Options
If necessary, set Channel 1 and/or Channel 2 to the Transport View. Click FILE >TRANSPORT
in the Playlist View to switch to the Transport View.
Setting the Video Bit Rate
Select OPTIONS >CONFIGURE from the Channel 1 Transport Window. The Dialog box in
Figure 9 appears.
• In the window, enter the desired Video Bit Rate (in Megabits/sec), not to exceed 125.
Alternatively, use the up/down arrows to set a number.
• Click APPLY or OK.
Figure 9 - Channel Configuration Dialog
The recommended bit rate is 70 to 80 Mb/s, especially for applications requiring file transfer
while three or four channels may be in use. Rates over 80 should be used only for applications
requiring reproduction of very high detail material.
