Manually Define Sources

IMPORTANT: This topic is for administrators and lab-managers only.
If you received a pre-configured video lab, continue with Design your Session.

VideoSyncPro Studio allows you to create and combine all kind of sources, but not all combinations can be recorded in-sync accurately. You need to thoroughly test any change in setup before you start making your actual recordings.

IMPORTANT: For each Camera Source, the internal mic/audio is used per default. To add audio from another source, you need to created a separate VSP-audio-source for that AND link it to the Camera source using the External Audio option.

The following steps are only required if your video lab contains devices that are not Axis IP-cameras or whenever new network sources become available.

Select the command Edit common sources, from the Menu available in the upper right corner Next Topic.

The Available Audio/Video Sources dialog appears:

definesources_empty

Click Create new Source to manually add a source.

Select the applicable Source Type from the list and confirm:

VSP_SourceTypes

Details about the different source types can be found in those topics:

oAxis Camera - Creates a source that uses the Axis Media Control component for recording. This is the default setup for all Axis IP Camera labs because it requires less computer recourses for recording.

oAsio Audio Device - Asio sources are only required to record multiple audio streams in separate audio files.

oWindows AV Device - Creates a source for a locally attached video device, like a WebCam.

oWindows Audio Device - Creates a source for a locally attached audio device that should be used as the external audio input for your videos.

oNetwork Stream - Allows you to insert all kind of HTTP and RSTP video streams, but requires a Core i7, enough RAM and a rather good graphics board.
For recording more than 2 Streams, at least a Nvidia Quadro P2000 is required.

oNetwork Audio Stream - Allows you to capture any network audio source and assign it as external audio to a Network Stream source.

oPanasonic Camera - Allows you to create sources for Panasonic IP Cameras, including PTZ control, if supported by the camera model.
