Saving a Stream to a File

You can save streaming video from a camcorder to a file automatically and register the file as an asset. You can assign a story to the camcorder or SRT listener before you start streaming.

  1. Start streaming.

    Note

    • Recording starts automatically if [Streaming with recording] is set to [ON] on the [Cloud Recording] page of the [Settings] screen. For details, refer to the Help Guide (Setup).
    • For streaming from XDCAM pocket to a cloud receiver, set [Network Range] to a value other than [Auto]. When [Network Range] is set to [Auto], streaming can be started but an error will occur. When streaming from XDCAM pocket to a PWS-110RX1A, this error does not occur.
  2. Click the [Rec] button in the streaming information area.

    Recording to the file starts, and the recording duration of the file is displayed in the streaming information area.

    You can click the [Preview] button to preview the file during recording. For details about preview operations, see “Previewing and Trimming a File During Recording.”

  3. Stop recording.
    Streaming stops.

You can check the saved file on the [Asset] screen. A bin (with name configured on the [Settings] screen) is created in the [Live Recording] bin in the group to which the transmitter belongs, and the asset is saved in the bin.

Note

  • The file name of the asset is the name of the transmitter with a suffix determined by the date and time of recording.
  • The time is determined according to the time zone specified on the [Settings] screen.
  • An asset is created when streaming stops.
  • The maximum time that a stream can be continuously recorded is 3 hours. When recording while casting to an SNS, the maximum continuous recording time is 1 hour.
  • When you want to stop recording, allow recording to continue for approximately 30 seconds longer and then stop recording. If you don't, the recorded video may be shortened due to the display delay.
  • HEVC streaming is always recorded in progressive format.

Recording a stream using a cloud receiver

To record a stream in a system that does not have a PWS-110RX1A or while casting to an SNS, use a cloud receiver.

To record, select the created cloud receiver in [Main output] in the streaming information area, start streaming, and click the [Rec] button.

For details about creating a cloud receiver, see “Creating a Cloud Receiver.”
