NCast Presentation Recorder Reference Manual
Setup of a Channel is divided into seven parts:
•
General – Channel name and network parameters
•
Recording – Recording options and archive naming
•
Layout – Frame size and placement of the Main and PIP windows
•
Image Overlays – Definition of graphical overlay images to be used
•
Text Overlays – Definition of text overlays to be used
•
Upload – FTP or Secure FTP server names and passwords
•
Notifications – E-mail reports of important Channel events
The paragraphs which follow describe in detail each of these parts.
4.1.3.
Channel Export/Import
A Channel's setup with all required parameters and settings may be exported to a .zip file. This provides for
off-line backup. Use of the Import button allows restoration of the channel, or copying of the parameters from
one channel to another.

4.2.1. Channel Name
Each channel can be assigned a name, and these names can reflect the functional use of the channel. For
example, “International Sales Team Update” for corporate usage, “Engineering Collaboration” in the case of
departmental usage, “San Francisco” designating some geographical assignments, or “Chemistry 101”
designating course related usage.
As a specific example, a Presentation Recorder might set up the following 3 channel assignments:
Channel 1 – The PR-720 unit transmits using multicast address 239.192.0.0
Channel 2 – The PR-720 unit receives using multicast address 239.192.0.0
