Crash recording¶

To create an ingest job for crash recording, you can use both the quick menu for ingest job settings and the advanced ingest job settings.

Creating a crash job via the quick menu¶

To create an ingest job for crash recording via the quick menu for ingest job settings, proceed as follows:

1. Select the window of the ingest channel to be used.

2. To ensure that the input signal is available, check the video preview of the selected ingest channel.

   Notice

   If the input signal is not displayed at all or is displayed incorrectly, make sure that the correct signal feed is provided to the Capturebox system.

3. In the quick menu for ingest job settings select the settings to be used:

   1. As Profile select the recording profile to be used.

   2. (Optional) Enter an ObjectId.

      Notice

      If you do not enter a value in this field, the default value configured in the Capturebox system settings is used.

   3. (Optional) Enter a Title.

      Notice

      If you do not enter a value in this field, the default value configured in the Capturebox system settings will be used.

   4. (Optional) Enter Keywords.

   5. Select the Path where to store the recorded file.

   6. (Optional) Enter a Filename.

      Notice

      This field displays the default value configured in the Capturebox system settings. If you do not want to use this, you can specify the file name manually. Note that you cannot add multiple ingest jobs with identical file names to the job list.

      If the filename contains the variable {autoinc}, it is usually not necessary to change the filename manually. Automatically incrementing the counter creates a unique filename for each ingest job, preventing existing files from being accidentally overwritten.

   7. (Optional) If you want to assign the ingest job to a channel group, select the Channel group to be used. If you want to create the ingest job only for the currently selected ingest channel, select No group.

      Tip

      To reset your entries and restore the default values, click Reset.

4. To create the ingest job, click Add.

   Notice

   The corresponding file is listed in the Media overview and highlighted in red, because it is a growing file. Provided it is a supported file and container format (e.g. MXF), you can already play and view the file using the File Preview.

6. To stop the recording, click .

   The recording is stopped.

   

   The recorded file is located in the selected target directory and is listed in the Media overview. You can play and view the file via the File preview.
