Path and filename
Specify the destination and filename for your recording based on your recording
destination. When specifying the path, all folders in the path must already exist.
Monarch HDX will not create new folders. Each recorded filename contains the
base name, date, and time using the following naming convention:
Basename-[YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS].mov or .mp4.
¡ Important Blank spaces are not supported in the base name. Use underscores
in place of blank spaces. For example, enter Recording1_Stage1 instead of
Recording1 Stage1 as the base name for the file.
• USB or SD card When recording to a USB device or SD card, enter the
folder(s) on the recording device to which you want to record, if applicable,
followed by the base name. For example, if you want to name your file
Recording1, and save the file in a folder named Files that is contained within
another folder named Project on the root directory, enter
Project/Files/Recording1. If you want to save the file in the media device's
root directory, enter Recording1.
• Network Use this option to record your input source to a shared folder on
the network. The method for entering the path and filename depends on the
operating system of the computer that contains the shared folder.
¦NoteFor more information on supported operating systems, see “Supported
operating systems and web browsers” on page 2.
$ Windows When recording to a shared folder that is on a Windows
system on the network, you must enter the IP address of the location on
the network to which you want to record, followed by the shared folder
name, and then the base name for the file in the following format:
//IP address/shared folder name/basename
For example, if you want to name your file Recording1, and save the file
to a shared folder named Files that is located on a network computer with
an IP address of 123.456.7.890, enter //123.456.7.890/Files/Recording1.
¡ Important If the network destination has a firewall, it must be disabled
in order to record to the network location.
$ Mac OS X Yosemite When recording to a shared folder that is on a Mac
OS X Yosemite system on the network, the folder to which you want to
save the file must be shared using the Network File System (NFS)
file-sharing protocol (see Appendix B, “Sharing a Mac OS X folder using
NFS protocol).
¡ Important Shared folders that use a file-sharing protocol other than
NFS are not supported with Monarch HDX for recording.
