Using the Timeline
Using the Timeline to examine, play and extract video
You can view pre-recorded video by moving the Playhead control in the Timeline or
entering a timecode and jumping to it. Methods include:
Use the Playback Controls
Click the VCR-like controls to play, rewind, fast
forward, nudge or move to previous and next events
(as detailed on page 126).
The fast forward and rewind speeds change by 1x,
2x, 5x and 10x each time you click the buttons.
Drag the Playhead to a new time
Click and drag the Playhead shaft to another location. When you
move the Playhead, you are effectively controlling all Video
Windows that have been selected.
Click in the Event Display Area of the Timeline
Click in the Event Display Area of the Timeline. The
Playhead will move to that location and playback of
recorded video commences from that time.
Playheads of different cameras can be controlled separately, that
is, you can rewind video in one window to a defined time and then
select a different Video Window and rewind it to another time. This
is ideal for comparing the same or different cameras at different
times.
Tip
When you choose to play back video, the video is played over a
network, therefore the response and smoothness of the play
back will depend on network traffic and other properties of the
network.
The time displayed on the Timeline and in the Live Events
window is the local time at the Viewer.
