Schedule Mode

...

When a Channel is in Schedule Mode, you will see a “Schedule” section, instead of the “Clip” section in Crash Mode. The examples show some recording events scheduled for the next 24 hours. In Schedule Mode, there is no “Record” button available as Recordings will start and stop automatically according to the Start- and End-time of Calendar events. In Just Control, you can use any Calendar, which can be imported into the Apple Calendar application. This can be a local Calendar, an iCloud, or a Gmail Calendar.
