VS4Control
Remarks
• If Input 1 of the Master is disconnected during a capture, the session will
continue capturing, but only black frames will be captured on Input 1 of the
Master.
• To stop the session on the slaves, you will have to disable VS4Control.
• If the Master becomes inoperative during the capture:
$ The slaves will continue to capture.
$ When restarting the VS4Recorder Pro on the Master, the Master will be
able to join the group, while the slaves continue capturing.
$ Pressing the Record button on the Master will start the capture on the
Master without affecting the recording on the slaves.
$ Stopping the capture on the Master will stop the session (Master and
slaves will stop).
• If a slave becomes inoperative during the capture, the session continues on
the Master and functional slaves.
• During a capture:
$ A slave can exit the VS4Control via the Settings dialog. If the slave was
capturing, then the capture will be automatically stopped and the main
Record button becomes available. The machine can rejoin the group as a
slave, but the capture will not start automatically. For this machine to
capture, the Master must stop, and then restart the capture.
$ A machine can only join the group as a slave, and a Master cannot leave
the group (unless having become inoperative).
¡ Important Once a machine in a group has been assigned Master on the
specified multicast IP address with VS4Control enabled, it will not be possible to
set another machine to Master in that group.
¦NoteMaster and Slave settings are saved in the settings of the VS4Recorder
Pro and reloaded when the application is launched.
File splitting and Capture duration using VS4Control
You can split captured video files at set intervals or set a capture duration limit
that stops a recording session after a specific time limit to protect and better
manage the storage of your video files. For more information, see “Capture
duration” on page 37 and “Automatic file splitting” on page 38.
¦NoteThe Capture duration option will not be available for slave units.
Multicast IP address
The use of a Multicast IP address is what allows for several VS4 units to be
centrally connected, as slaves, to one VS4, as a master.
