After successful configuration of the networks and sources VideoSyncPro Studio shows you the home screen with the list or available recordings - which is probably empty on your first start-up:
Sessions, Templates & Sources
Before you can start a recording session, you need to add the available sources to a Scenario.
A Scenario is a recording template, in which you specify what sources are recorded in a single session.
Depending on the number of available cameras and rooms, VideoSyncPro enables you to set up independent recording scenarios. Meaning that you can design different scenarios, for different recording situations, specifying the cameras you need for each type of recording session.
IMPORTANT: If the VideoSyncPro Studio recording system has already been set up completely, including the required Scenarios, you can fast-track to Record your session to make your first recording.
Note: Defining Scenarios is typically a task for the Lab-manager or the Administrator. The Standard user may not have the rights to create Scenarios.
The desired combination of video and audio sources is stored in one or more independent scenarios (recording templates).
Scenario Example: Presume you have 8 cameras, installed in two different rooms. For this, it is useful to create at least 3 different Scenarios (Scenario 1, Scenario 2 and Scenario 3):
Scenario 1: To record a big session taking place in both rooms simultaneously, because the participants in both rooms interact/are part of the same test (Scenario 1 includes all 8 cameras and ensures the recording is started and stopped simultaneously for both rooms).
Scenario 2: To record a session taking place in room A only. (Scenario 2 includes only the 4 cameras for room A, allowing you to start and stop a session for this room alone)
Scenario 3: To record a session taking place in room B only. (Scenario 3 includes the 4 cameras for room B, allowing you to start and stop a session for this room alone)
This allows you to either record a big overall session for all 8 cameras, or record only one of the rooms, or record two independent sessions that take place at the same time, but in different rooms.
If additional combinations are required, no problem: You can define as many scenarios as you need.
BUT: It is not possible to independently control the same camera from within two separate Scenarios.

IMPORTANT: The software requires at least one scenario to make recordings.
