While all channels will display video from the same event, individual playbacks can be controlled separately. A single channel can be paused, rewound or sped up without affecting the playback of other channels.

Selecting the Stop button will end playback of that channel while the others (if any) continue to play back. To end playback on all channels, simply right-click the mouse or move to another file using the buttons to the right of the playback bar.
