Consider an example:
Perhaps Cam 1 is a 16:9 SD source
Cam 2 is a 720p camera
Cam 3 is 1080i
With Output 2 set (in Output Configuration) to display Cam 1, Cam2 or Cam 3 as
1080i, selecting Output 2 as Source for recording in Record Configuration will
always result in a 1080i format file.
By contrast, directly selecting a Camera directly in Record Configuration captures
files in the actual source format of that input (in our example, this would be SD
16:9, 720p, and 1080i respectively), accompanied by the original sound from
matching (‘same number’) audio inputs.
Hint: This means you can record a given source more than once in Record Configuration,
capturing it in multiple resolutions and formats simultaneously.
SAVE TO
The Save To drop-down menu allows you to select from available storage volumes as
targets for the recording.
DEFAULT ENCODING
Notice that there is a Configure button (gear) at the right-hand end of the row for each
recording. Clicking it reveals a menu listing optional encoding formats. The default
file format for capture is Quicktime®, a popular and widely supported file format. For
this and other reasons, we strongly encourage that you use this default encoding
option.
Hint: Download free NewTek codec packs for Windows® and Apple® MacIntosh computer
platforms from your personal ‘downloads’ page in the “Registration” area of NewTek’s
website.
ALTERNATE FORMATS
For certain purposes, you may prefer to capture one or more files in alternative
formats.
