Part of a Channel configuration includes selecting a Blackbox folder and Media Capture folder to save your video recordings and framegrabs.

If you opted not to configure Blackbox and/or Media Capture during Channel configuration, when you click on the Record Start or Camera buttons, you will be prompted with a File Explorer window from which you can select the folder to store your video files and still/framegrab files.

See Menu → Blackbox Settings and Media Capture Wizard for more on Blackbox and Media Capture.

  1. Click the Blackbox button to start / stop Blackbox recording. See Menu → Blackbox Settings

  2. Click the red Record button to start/stop recording (saved as .mp4 files).

  3. Click the Camera button to take a framegrab (still photo) as the video is running (saved to .jpg files).

  4. Click the Stream button to start/stop Streaming the Channel.

  5. Take Stills with or without including the Overlay

  6. Take Single or continuous, multiple using Rapid Digital Imaging (RDI).
