Movie Procedure
The File menu / Record Movie item (Ctrl + Shift + M) starts / stops recording of all active displays at
the same time – no video / images are stored for paused imaging. When an imaging in any display
is paused during the video recording, the storing of the video frames is interrupted but the video
streams keep synchronization for the next recording. The File menu / red dot icon changes to red
square when movie recording starts and vice versa. Video recording is stopped in all displays and all video files are
closed.
The red dot with the timer (shown in the top right-hand corner) indicates that
recording is active in this display. The Pause symbol indicates that the recording is
paused and the data from this display are not stored.
The timer indicates the time estimation (in the hh:mm:ss format) remaining to
the end of the video. This is calculated from the average disk space consumption
and the disk free space.

check boxes and select the desired Period (time between stored frames).
