Each  recorded filename contains the base name,  date, time, an automatically 

incrementing 3-digit number, and file type, using the following naming convention: 

Basename-[YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS].001.mov 

or 

.mp4

 

Note: Blank spaces are not supported in the base name. Use underscores in place 

of blank spaces. For example, enter 

Recording1_Stage1 

instead of 

Recording1 

Stage1 

as the base name for the file. 

 

USB or SD card: 

When recording to a USB device or SD card, enter the folder(s) on 

the recording device to which you want to record, if applicable, followed by the base 

name. For example, if you want to name your file 

Recording1

, and save the file in a 

folder named 

Files 

that is contained within another folder named 

Project 

on the root 

directory, enter 

Project/Files/Recording1

. If you want to save the file in the media 

device’s root directory, simply enter 

Recording1

 

Network: 

Use this option to record your input source to a shared folder on the 

network. The method for entering the path and filename depends on the operating 

system of the computer that contains the shared folder. 

 

 

Windows: 

When recording to a shared folder that is on the Windows system on 

the network, you must enter the IP address of the location on the network to 

which you want to record, followed by the shared folder name, and then the 

base name for the file in the following format: 

//IP address/shared folder 

name/basename

 

 

For example, if you want to name your file 

Recording1

, and save the file to a shared 

folder named 

Files 

that is  located on a network computer with  an IP address of 

123.456.7.890

, enter 

//123.456.7.890/Files/Recording1

 

Note:  If the network destination has a firewall, it must be disabled in order to 

record to the network location. 

 

 

Mac OS X Yosemite: 

When recording to a shared folder that is on the Mac OS X 

Yosemite system on the network, the folder to which you want to save the file 

must be shared using the Network File System (NFS)  file-sharing protocol. For 

information on sharing a Mac OS X Yosemite folder, see “Appendix 4, Sharing a 

Mac OS X Yosemite folder using NFS protocol”.  

 

Note:  Shared folders that use a file-sharing protocol other than NFS are not 

supported with the NVS-30 for recording.
