Configuring Recording Outputs
From the Outputs pages, you can set up either streaming only, recording only, or both
streaming with recording. This section covers setting up recording outputs.
NOTE
Recording is only available on Makito X units with the Storage (either fixed or
removable) SSD mezzanine option. For details, see
“Storage Options (Rear Panel)”
Setting Up Recording
On the Makito X with Storage, you can create recording sessions in order to save selected
encoded content (Audio/Video/Metadata) on the installed storage media (SATA or
mSATA SSD).
NOTE
The Makito X can record two streams simultaneously.
When setting up a recording session, you select the file format (either .TS or .MP4) and
then can optionally configure a recording limit and segmentation.
Recording segmentation subdivides the recording into segments. Segmented file creation
is useful for long duration or continuous recording. You can specify either a size limit or a
time limit for segments of the content recording. As each completed segment is saved, a
new segment is created and any newly created content is stored in the new segment.
•
Auto Export automatically exports completed segments to either HVC or an FTP
server. Auto Export becomes available once you either set a recording limit or enable
segmentation.
•
Segmentation Roll-Over deletes old segments beyond the configured recording limit.
As such, it is only available when a recording limit is set and segmentation is enabled.
You can play back .MP4 assets directly in the Makito X Web Interface once a segment of
the recording has completed. See
Makito X recordings can be used by either HVC or Calypso. These videos can be down-
loaded from the Makito X Web Interface, exported to a USB, or sent automatically to an
FTP location.
