Switching a Codec between Encoder and Decoder
1. From the Device List page (see page 26), click on a VN‑Matrix codec device. The
Device page appears.
2. Click change device type.
NOTE: All connections (streams) must be removed from the codec before it can be
assigned as an encoder or a decoder.
3. Click create source to load the encoder configuration, or create display to load
the decoder configuration.
4. Click the Save All tab.
Recording a Stream
When a recording is created, each element that is present within a stream is stored as an
individual file under the same directory. A recording that contains a single element (such
as video) will only require a single file. When a recording contains multiple elements (such
as video, audio, data, and whiteboard), the stream will be saved as multiple files. See the
Understanding Saved Recordings With Multiple Elements section on page 46 for
more information.
Recording Preparation
To prepare a stream for recording, follow the procedure below.
NOTES:
• Before recording, it is recommended to set the stream storage location. See Update
Path on page 33 of the Navigate Page section for information.
• It is recommended that a new directory is created for each recording so that
associated files are easier to locate. See Make Directory on page 34 of the Navigate
Page section for information.
1. Ensure that the VN‑Matrix codec is configured as an encoder (see the Setting up a
VN-Matrix Codec as an Encoder section on page 49).
2. From the Device List page (see page 26), click on the VNM Recorder device.
The Recorder Device page (see page 28) appears.
3. From the Recorder Device page (see page 28), click the Recorder icon.
