Types of recording

You can record output and input content to files using this system.

• Output recording
  When [Source Signal] for an output destination is set to [PGM], program output content is recorded. When set to [PVW], preview output content is recorded. When set to [CLN], clean output content is recorded.

  Hint

  • Clean output in this system refers to program output video excluding DSK and audio excluding audio commentary.
• Input content recording (ISO recording)
  Records input content on channels (up to four channels) configured for recording beforehand. The recording is performed with the same timing as output recording.

Preparation for recording

This section describes the prerequisites for recording.

The recording of three output destinations simultaneously is not supported.

Output recording

Output is recorded only when [SDR/8bit/BT.709] is selected in [SDR/HDR] on the [System] tab of the [System Settings] screen. The [Start] button/[Stop] button becomes enabled when the above setting is configured.

ISO recording

Configure the following settings on the [System] tab, [Switcher Input] tab, and [Output] tab of the [System Settings] screen. “+ ISO” is displayed on the right side of the [Start] button/[Stop] button when the following settings are configured.

• [System] tab
  
  • Select [SDR/8bit/BT.709] in [SDR/HDR].
• [Switcher Input] tab
  Configure the following settings for the input sources (up to four channels) that you want to record.
  • Select [Replay CH 1 + ISO] to [Replay CH 4 + ISO] in [Recording].
• [Output] tab
  Configure the following settings for the output destination that you want to record.
  • Place a check mark in [ISO].

Starting/stopping recording

When “+ ISO” is displayed on the right side of the [Start] button/[Stop] button, ISO recording of input content is performed with the same timing as output recording when you start/stop recording. When “+ ISO” is not displayed, only output recording occurs.

Starting recording

Press the [Start] button in the [Recording] column on the [Output] tab of the [System Settings] screen. Recording begins and the [Start] button changes to the [Stop] button. During recording, (Recording) is displayed on the left side of the button.

Stopping recording

Press the [Stop] button to stop recording. The [Stop] button changes to the [Start] button.

Recorded files

During recording, the content is saved automatically as one file every approximately 30 minutes.

Recorded files are displayed on the [Recording] tab of the [File Manager] screen. To enable playback of a recorded file using a clip player, execute [Copy to Clip Folder] to display the file in the list on the [Clip] tab.

For output recording

Content is recorded in MP4 format with the same framing, frame rate, and codec as the output destination settings.

The file name when saving is in the following format.

• When recording program output:
  PGM_"Event Name"_YYYYMMDDhhmmss (recording start date and time)_#nnnn (chunk number).mp4
• When recording preview output:
  PVW_"Event Name"_YYYYMMDDhhmmss (recording start date and time)_#nnnn (chunk number).mp4
• When recording clean output:
  CLN_"Event Name"_YYYYMMDDhhmmss (recording start date and time)_#nnnn (chunk number).mp4

For ISO recording

The content is converted to H.264, 1920×1080, progressive format (other settings are the same as the input source) and saved in MP4 format.

The file name when saving is in the following format.

InputX (input source ID)_"Event Name"_YYYYMMDDhhmmss (recording start date and time)_#nnnn (chunk number).mp4
