Recorder Directory and File Management
VN-Matrix recorders can be used as a source (player) or display (recorder). The following section
describes the recorder directory and file structure and rules to assist in their management.
Directory Management Overview
A recording can be made on single or multiple devices (recorders). A recording contains all files required
to recreate the original stream from an encoder in a set. The set can consist of audio, video, and data file
types. Each recording set is stored in a unique directory.
•
Each directory can hold only the files for a single recording.
•
Directories must have a unique name, duplicates are not allowed.
A new directory can be created in two ways. The same methods are used on both the single and
5 -channel devices.
NOTE:
Directory names must not include spaces or non alphanumeric characters such as / \ *, %
! " £ $ % ^ & * ( )@~#?><. These characters are blocked from use. Underscore (_) and hyphen (–)
are permitted.
Create Directory – Directory browser method (preferred)
To create a new directory using the navigation tree:
1.
Create a preset with an encoder and recorder (see Recorder Presets on page 122).
2.
Select a recorder (channel) in the Preset Design workspace.
3.
Click anywhere inside the
Directory
field of the
Device Attributes
panel, then select the
drop-down box on the right hand side (see figure 89,
