1.6.1

Pausing a recording in progress

You can only pause an ongoing recording when the recording unit is connected to the computer running Controller.

Pausing a recording from the Dashboard:

1.

Check that the Pro Glasses 2 are connected to Controller.

2.

Tap Pause on the Control Panel for the relevant recording unit. The recording is paused, and the Pause button
changes to a Resume button.

3.

Resume the recording by tapping Resume.

Pausing a recording from Live Viewer:

1.

Check that the Live Viewer video is playing; this indicates a valid connection between the Pro Glasses 2 and
Controller.

2.

Tap Pause. The recording is paused, and the Pause button changes to a Resume button.

3.

Resume the recording by tapping Resume.

1.6.2

Ending a recording

You stop a recording with the Stop button in the Controller. Recordings in progress can only be stopped when the recording
unit is connected to the computer running Controller.

Stopping a Recording from the Dashboard:

1.

Check that the Pro Glasses 2 are connected to Controller.

2.

Tap stop on the control panel for the relevant recording unit. A confirmation dialog box appears.

3.

Confirm by tapping Yes.

Stopping a Recording from the Live Viewer:

1.

Check that the Live View video is playing; this indicates a valid connection between Pro Glasses 2 and
Controller.

2.

Tap the Stop button. A confirmation dialog appears.

3.

Confirm by tapping Yes.

4.

The recording stops and the Dashboard appears.

Do's and don’t’s

Don’t remove the SD card before the recording has ended.

Don’t remove the SD card before the unit is powered off.

Don’t remove the battery in order to end the recording or to switch off the unit.

If you cannot end the recording because of buffering, keep a LAN cable (and if necessary, USB to LAN adapter)
available to connect the recording unit via cable. That way you can always end the recording, even when all WLAN
channels are busy.

1.6.3

Replaying recordings in Glasses Controller

When you want to replay and export recorded videos in Controller, check that the recording unit is connected to the computer
and use the same SD card as for the recording.

If you don’t have the recording unit available to replay or export recordings, insert the SD card in the card reader of your com-
puter and copy the entire content of the SD card to the computer's local hard drive.

1.

Open Controller,

2.

go to the Recordings tab, and at the bottom right click on "Add location".

3.

Browse to the location where the content of the SD card is stored, select your recordings, and click OK.

Try doing the replay and export directly after you completed the recording.
