Recording your source video to disk
“Input states and video formats” on page 76 for information on how to
determine the video format of an “invalid input.”
• Selecting an input during a recording session You can select an input at
any time during a recording session to begin recording that input. If you
clear and then re-select an input during the same recording session, a
separate file will be created for each selection sequence. The files are
differentiated by a recording number (see “Matrox VS4 file naming
conventions” on page 73).
• Connecting an input source during a recording session You can connect
an input source to an unselected input during a recording session, and then
select the input to record your source feed. If you disconnect the source from
a selected input during a recording session, and then connect a source with a
different video format to the same input, a new file will be created for that
input. The files are differentiated by a recording number (see “Matrox VS4
file naming conventions” on page 73). If you connect a source with the same
video format as the original source, a separate video file will not be created
and the recording will continue in the original video file.
To stop an input recording:
• Clear an input during a recording session Clearing a selected input
during a recording session stops the recording for that input. This is done
without affecting the recording of other selected inputs.
• Connect a different video format to a recording input If you disconnect
a selected input’s source, and then connect a source with a different video
format than the original source, the original recording ends, and a new file is
created for the new source. For example, if you’re recording an NTSC source
connected to Input 1, disconnect the NTSC source and then connect a 720p
at 59.94 fps source to the same input, the NTSC recording ends and a new
720p at 59.94 fps recording begins.
• Stop the recording session Click to stop the recording session. In
this case, all input recordings will stop.
