Chapter 4, Using the Command Center
Destination settings (for recording)
Specify the following settings for recording:
• Media Select the media to which you want to record your input source.
You can choose either a USB or SD card slot on the Monarch LCS device, or
a network location.
For more information on using USB devices or SD cards, including the
known limitations of each, see the sections
“USB ports 1 and 2” on page 7 ,
and “SD card” on page 8 .
• Save file as The Save file as option allows you to choose the filename
format of your recorded files.
¦ 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.
You can choose from three formats:
$
Filename only Uses your specified filename to identify recorded files
(e.g. Basename.mov/mp4 ). If a recording session results in a file being
segmented into multiple files, a three-digit incrementing number (starting
at 001) will also be added to the filename from the second file onwards
(e.g.
Basename001.mov/mp4 , Basename002.mov/mp4 , etc).
The three-digit value is needed to differentiate between the multiple files
created by file segmentation. For more information on how file
segmentation works, see
File Segment Duration .
If you use this filename format, you must make sure to change the
filename before manually starting a new recording, otherwise the old
recorded file will be overwritten. A recording is manually started by
pressing the
ENCD button on the device or by clicking the Start button in
the Command Center.
Do not use the Filename only option if you plan on consolidating your
files with the Matrox File Consolidator. Because the filename differs from
the second file onwards, the consolidator will not be able to recognize that
the segmented files are part of the same recorded sequence.
$
Filename with date/time Uses your specified filename, adds the start
date/time of the recording session, and adds a three-digit number that
increments when file segmentation occurs (e.g.
Basename-[YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS]-000.mov/mp4 ). For more
information on how file segmentation works, see File Segment Duration .
If file segmentation occurs, each file will have the same date/time in the
filename; that is, the start date/time of the first file in the sequence. The
three-digit incrementing number is then used to differentiate the files.
