Crash Mode (5.1)
- Christian Schabasser
Preface
You can record SDI or HDMI signals or IP Streams (like NDI or SRT streams) on the fly in Crash Mode, i.e. you start and stop each Capture/Recording process manually.
Start a Recording
Make sure to have at least one valid Capture- and Destination-Preset configured and that at least one Channel is connected successfully. Select a Channel and open the Inspector and make sure that the Channel is in Crash Mode.
Now hover over the Channel Viewer and the Record button will show up. Press this button to start the Recording.
You can use the keyboard shortcut cmd + R to start/stop a recording.
An ongoing Recording is indicated by a red border around the inner area of the Channel Viewer and a RECORDING message overlay.
Stop a Recording
Click the Record button again to stop recording. The recorded clip will be available at the appropriate path in the filesystem (defined in the Destination Preset).
Multiple Captures at the same Time (Multiple Capture IDs)
A Capture ID consists of a Capture Preset and a Destination Preset. Open the Inspector of the desired Channel. At the bottom of the Inspector add further Capture IDs by pressing the Add ("+") button. Select a Capture Preset and Destination Preset for each Capture ID and start the Recording process as described above.
Make sure that the Capture IDs are recording to different storage locations or have different file name extensions (*.mov, *.mxf, *.ts, *.avi or *.mp4).
You may do multiple Recordings of a single Video source at the same time to the same or to multiple destinations. This feature is limited by the hardware specs of the machine running just:in Engine. We strongly recommend to do thorough testing before using this feature in a live environment.
Use the Minus “-” button to delete Capture IDs again.
