Recording and stopping
(continued)
Selecting the video source to record
You can select to record from either
the camera cable input signal or the
VIDEO IN connector input signal on
the rear panel. This selection is made
using the Toughbook-Arbitrator Front
End Software.
If a recording start trigger signal is
activated while recording a signal from
the VIDEO IN connector, recording of
the VIDEO IN signal will stop and
recording of the camera cable input
signal will begin. In this case, separate
files will be created. When recording is
started by trigger activation, there will
be no prerecording or post-recording.

Notes:
• If switching was performed by
supplying a recording start trigger,
the input signal immediately after
switching will not be recorded.
• If the video signal selection is
changed during post-recording, post-
recording will be halted.
• If recording is started immediately
after selecting the video signal, the
prerecord time may be shorter
than the setting.
• When the recorder is restarted, the
default video signal input setting is
always the camera cable
connector, regardless of which
selection was active before
shutdown.
Note:
When the recorder is restarted, the
default audio signal setting is
always the MIC, regardless of which
selection was active before
shutdown.
Time
The recorder can record up to two
audio channels (L-CH and R-CH). Out
of the three audio input connectors on
the rear panel (AUDIO IN 1, 2, and
MIC IN), the signal of the source
connected to the AUDIO IN 1
connector will always be recorded on
the left channel (L-CH). For the right
channel (R-CH), you can select either
the signal from the AUDIO IN 2
connector or the MIC IN connector.
This selection is made using the
Toughbook-Arbitrator Front End
Software.
The following two audio recording
modes are available: AUDIO IN 2 and
MIC
AUDIO IN2
During recording, the audio signal
from the AUDIO IN 2 connector will
always be recorded on the right
channel (R-CH).
MIC
During recording, the audio signal
from the MIC IN connector will
always be recorded on the right
channel (R-CH).
