for your video file and click Save.

newly recorded file to make sure that both audio and video were correctly
recorded.
If your file doesn't play back and you suspect it wasn't recorded correctly:
• Are you connected to the correct video server BNC connectors?
• Double check your video/audio source. Does it display correctly if
plugged in directly to a monitor?
If everything appears correct, you may need to go back and double check your
software configuration.

through video from an encoder on the system. Stopping the output channel will
stop the active passthrough.
