Suitable hard drives added to a removable drive bay or otherwise connected are listed in the Drives
column. 3Play attempts to make an appropriate initial guess at how best to distribute the drives it detects,
but you can manually select drives as well.
Note: In Standard (8 Channel) session mode, the Backup column in this area is not used.
Again, it is recommended that no more than two sources be assigned to a single volume in either the
Primary or Backup drive assignment columns. If too few drives are mounted, it will not be possible to
assign drives to all camera pairs.
Note: In some cases (i.e., very fast volumes) you can sidestep the restriction above (volume labels are
orange if more than one input pair is assigned). However, menu rows for inputs are enabled according
to the number of drives detected. Even with the world’s fastest, biggest storage volume connected,
another qualified drive must be detected before you can configure the second camera pair (3, 4), and so
on – even though you don’t plan to use the extra drive(s).
Use the drop-down menus under Inputs to assign drives for recording camera pairs listed in the same row.
SESSION VOLUME
Figure 45
You could think of the Session Volume as storing all of the ‘non-a/v data’ required by a session, including
input settings, metadata, etc. Normally, the actual a/v files will be located on multiple drives, but the
Session Volume you choose in this menu can be considered the ‘master’, and must be mounted to open
(or re-open) a session.
VIDEO STANDARD AND RESOLUTION
The format of video output by 3Play varies according to the session type. The session settings also affect
capture. For example, if your session format is SD 4:3, this is the format normally captured by the Record
function, even when the input Connection Type might be HD to accommodate a specific camera; the
converse is also true. The frame is scaled and cropped as required to properly match the session setting,
regardless of input type.
