Recording is stopped by a double "STOP" press.

The current time or time code and recording time are refreshed every second.
There is also the duration available on the SDCARD, ensuring that the
remaining disk space is sufficient.

The bargraph name is set in red if the source is armed else in green.

5.3. Play a take

A short “Play” key press show the player module screen.

5.3.1. Navigation

You can browse between take in the current scene via the F1 and F2 function
keys. You can see on the display, the current reading position and the total
duration or final Time code of the file. The progress bar allows you to follow
the temporal evolution of reading. To coming back in record, you get out of the
reading module via the F4 key

5.3.2. Play

To start reading, you should press again the play key. The "pause" is

accessible by pressing the same key. The advance and return keys allow to
reposition in the file with a step of 5 s or / and 1 minute if the "shift" key is
enabled.
