This instruction is for only when you record video sources from the Tricaster as "Iso records" (Isolation) video Files; for Post Production later.
 |  This software is only located on the Windows machine P910 to the left of the Tricaster.IsoCorder Pro only operates when the Tricaster (Vision Switcher) is operational. This is because IsoCorder has its "sources" derived through NDI. NDI - Network Device Interface Network Device Interface is Ip based video that is derived from the Tricaster |
|---|---|
 | The IsoCorder software is primarily used as recording designated Inputs in Isolation in addition to your Main Production Recording that is available on the Tricasters HDD.. The picture Left shows the first 4 sources as a Full Screen Window. Full Screen Window display only You can not 'Size' the Window, only minimize it.
|
 | The 3 circled icons show the main areas for each Record source Green- Gear icon for Record source configuration Red - Record button starting the Channel Record Grab function The camera icon can be clicked while the Recording is occurring. This allows for a snapshot of the incoming video source. Blue - Blue area shows 3 icons. the camera icon is Grab Function. Taking a Screenshot. This is setup under the Gear icon- See Grab Directory below. The 4 corner arrows indicate pushing each record window to Full size The 3rd icon is for bringing up the overlay display of Audio, 4:3 safe etc |
 | As you 'hover' the mouse cursor over each Source Input, the icon for the Record settings will appear in the style of a Gear icon. As shown. HDD Space Please always check the HDD destination as to the fact it has enough Free Space available to Record to. Remember that the Bitrate is around 100MBits/sec. |
| This picture shows the overall display once the Gear icon is 'clicked'. It can be considered to be in 2 halves |
| The top half shows which Record Source you need to record in isolation. Also you can give it a particular name to identify later and lastly you can then choose the "Destination' Folder' to where the recording will be kept. As the source inputs are incoming as NDI. The source you require may not be named in a conventional sense. Not sure of the naming conventions Ask for assistance from a CPSU member This area is where the Directory can be found for the Grab function, as described above. |
| The Bottom half then displays the associated Audio with the selected Record source. Not all source inputs may have Audio. No audio on Input Ask for assistance from a CPSU member |
| The bottom right of the window shows the Display button. This brings up the total amount of recordings that can be achieved. As seen IsoCorder Pro can go as high as 16 record sources. Beware of the data required for this It is recommended to only use 2 stream records per Destination. i.e. 2 sources recording at any one time to Isilon. |
 | Monitoring the inputs 1 through to 3 |
| Audio monitoring can be achieved by selecting the appropriate Record channel. This can be achieved through the small audio amplifier below the screen. |
