Standard Configuration

Presets
Presets are where settings are stored and are at the top of the hierarchy.
A preset may have one or more inputs assigned to it but each input can only be assigned to one preset at a time.
You can have multiple presets saved with different presets and have multiple presets running on different channels.
Presets are structured this way to simplify multicam setup
Adding a preset
To add a preset click on the + icon and enter your preset name, This can be anything the resolution / frame rate you're working in, input source SDI, NDI, SRT for example.
By double clicking on your new preset you will be able to set Input, Output, Primary encoder, Proxy encoder, Timecode and automation and Avid (Interplay setup).

Record Setting
Once all is setup you can easily view all recording setting per input on the right-hand side of the UI;
Input setting, Output settings, Primary Encoder settings and Proxy Encoder settings.
Preset Local/Global Lists
Are used to predefine folder / file naming so that the operator can simply select whats relevant for the record with the ability to changed on the fly once the recording has been stopped.
Templates
Setup quick and easy unique file naming and folder structures from the local / global lists you have created, simply drag and drop your chosen wildcards into your desired location to create your folder structure (path) and filename.
From here you can also set your Primary Tape ID and Still Image ???
You can easily view your template setting on the right-hand side of the UI, these can be turned off/on as required.
Groups and Group Control (Gang record)
You can pre-create groups to assign inputs for group recording, these can be on just one deck or across multiple decks as long as you are on the same timecode source.
Scheduling (record)
You can create scheduled recording simply by clicking on the + icon and adding the following information;
Input or Group | Single Input or selection groups |
|
|---|---|---|
Preset | pre-configured presets |
|
Action | Record |

Recording
Once you have started recording you will see Start time, Elapsed time, Storage space remaining in gb and remaining record time at current data rate. By default the record borders will be red indicating recording and green when idle.
Audio metering is shown on the right for the current selected headphone pair.
Enabling the metering overlay allows the user to select which audio pair is being monitored marked with yellow brackets.
Playback
To playback a recording or a media file from another location, click on the (clapperboard icon) you will see a list of recorded files and an option to Add Media from local, network and external devices such as portable drives (not officially supported).
