Chapter 4, Using the VS4Recorder Pro Application
• VS4Control:
$ The time limit is set and controlled through the settings of the Master only
(the slave settings are ignored).
$ When you stop the Master, the recording stops and the timer resets.
$ The Capture duration option will not be available for slave units (see
“VS4Control” on page 51).
Setting a capture duration
Setting a capture duration means stopping your recording session at an exact
time, which can be convenient when your sources are at a distance. Before
beginning your recording session:
1 Select Capture duration in the Session and File section of the
VS4Recorder Pro settings.
2 Enter the time limit in minutes.
3 Set your other preferences in the Settings window.
4 Start recording.
The (internal) timer on your capture duration limit begins, and will stop the
session at the designated time.
Automatic file splitting
You can split your recording at set intervals, creating separate files. Every time
the split time limit elapses, a new file with a unique file name is automatically
created.
How file splitting works
Operating like an auto save, the
Split file every option saves separate video and
audio files to a folder you specify, that you can start editing as soon as each one is
created. File splitting causes no loss of video frames between files and .mov, .avi,
and .mp4 files are supported.
By splitting video files, you can also protect your files, ensuring that only the
current file being captured would be affected by a sudden power failure or
computer crash. The file splitting feature operates in minute increments, and the
minimum settable duration is one (1) minute. This setting applies to all inputs.
The timer starts once you begin to record. If you do not wish to create split files,
you must clear the
Split file every option button.
¥Tip When capturing .mp4 files, file splitting creates streamable files.
File splitting functions differently depending on the recording configuration:
