Additionally you see:

oThe duration of the current recording is displayed as an ongoing time code.

oThe PAUSE button only appears when activated in the Scenario properties and has only effect on streaming sources.

oThe Edit recording metadata allows you to add a description of your session.

There might be additional controls available at the bottom of your video windows or recording preview that can be used during a recording.

Take a look at the following topics if you see one or more of these controls:

oCamera Controls - Read PTZ Control for details about positioning your cameras, if you own one or more PTZ cameras.

oTalk Button - Read Push-to-Talk if your lab was setup for direct communication between the control room and the test lab.

oPlay Sound - Read Play Sounds & Noises if your lab requires prerecorded audio input initiated by the controller.

Multiple Sessions

If your video lab consists of multiple rooms and more cameras than those currently busy recording, it is possible to start an additional simultaneous recording session, using different cameras.
(providing that your recording system is powerful enough)

oEach session runs in a separate tab.

Note: It is also possible to review a previously recorded session during the recording of another session. Make sure you always close unnecessary sessions, to keep enough resources available for the recording and playback of a new session.

oTo open a previously recorded session during a recording, click the Previous Btn_Previous button to return to the VideoSyncPro Home Screen.

 

Stop Recording

To end the recording of your current session:

Click the green STOP button to end the recording for the current scenario.

IMPORTANT: After recording, Mangold VideoSync Pro  switches automatically to the Replay-View, enabling you to watch the just recorded video material: replaytoolbar
