Recording/Streaming
A recording/streaming session can be started and
stopped from the Start/Stop section of the main toolbar
and from the profile listing of the Web Portal. The
“default” profile will be used unless another profile is
selected. To select an alternate profile, use the Change
button to bring up a profile listing.
The RED LED will illuminate when the HD3 is recording/
streaming and the Web Portal will display a “Recording”
message at the top of the page. The record/stream
parameters will be as specified in the profile that was
chosen.
To stop the recording and create an archived file, press
the Stop button to begin the “indexing” process. The
RED LED on the front of the unit will blink fast during
the indexing procedure, indicating that the unit is
busy and cannot record or stream until the process is
complete. Depending on the length of the archived
material, this could take a few seconds up to several
minutes to complete.
Playback on HD3
Content stored on the HD3 can be viewed via the DVI
output connected to a local monitor. Selecting the Play
Locally button on the Watch Videos page will start the
content playback.
During playback, the pause, stop, skip forward and skip
backward controls may be selected.
In order to play files, an MPEG-4 capable playback
application (such as Quicktime Player) is required on
the viewing PC.
