While been checked, the video resources will be recorded when users click Quick Start to start recording in the main interface. Due to the limit of CPU in the system, we do not recommend to record more than 4 resource videos at the same time in case of lost of frames or bad quality of recorded file. 37

38 Time Record (Recording Schedules Settings) Users can set up 10 recording schedules in this system. Also, users can copy the detailed information to other week dates. Note: All settings details should be completely copied to specific week dates to activate the recording schedules. 38

39 RTMP Stream This unit adopts standard RTMP protocol. The streaming way will be in COMMON which indicates to deliver live streams to the streaming server with RTMP support. The settings of streaming will be PGM streams in Movie mode and PGM2 streams in Movie mode 2. There are Main Stream and Sub-Stream in each mode. The values of streams BitRate can be adjusted according to the bandwidth status. It is between 48Kbps to 20Mbps. The default BitRate of main stream is 4000Kbps and Sub-Stream is 400Kbps. 39

40 Quick Start Setting Users can configure the active functions in this unit. Just select the desired functions, e.g. Movie Record, Movie 2 Record, Auto Conducting, Movie Stream, Movie Stream 2, and RES Record. RES Record should be selected in Recording / RES Mode Note: The Quick Start button in main interface can be connected to Director Switch. There is a Quick Start button in most Director Switch units. Users can use Director keyboard to proceed director operations after having set up Quick Start functionality. 40

41 TS Stream TS Streaming is supported in this system. However, TS streaming only available in intranet. There is no need to install RTMP streaming server or software. It only requires media players that supports network streaming such as VLC, Storm, or other players. Just input the specific streaming path and will be able to view the live streams directly. TS single streaming adopts TCP Network communications protocols and it will be working after the viewers requests. The operation processes are; 1. Select the stream (Main or Sub Stream) 2. Streaming port setting 3. Back to the main interface and click in PGM channel to start live streaming 4. Input tcp://system IP:streaming port and will be able to view the live stream TS Group streaming adopts UDP network communications protocol without requested by viewers (running a media player.) Just select the identical BitRate and port, then click button to start streaming. The processes are the same as the above. The default streaming IP address is The format of the streaming is rtp:// :steam port and users will be able to view the live stream directly. 41

42 Note: The differences between Group Streaming and Single Streaming is that in single streaming, viewers should directly communicate with the system and then to be able to view the live stream. The number of concurrent viewers is limited. Group Streaming requires intranet with routing support. Normally, the default Group Streaming IP is When Group Streaming is active, the live stream will be broadcasted automatically. While users launch the media player and type in the Group Streaming address, then they will be able to view the live stream. A Group Streaming supports 253 concurrent viewers Auto Track Users can configure the commends of recording system, lecturer camera, student camera, blackboard writing, and VGA desktop interface. The interface code and commends should be identical with settings of recording system and tracking cameras. There are 3 options, I/O, LAN, and Serial Ports to configure lecturer panorama, lecturer close-up, student panorama, student close-up, and blackboard writing interface. 1 If the communications ports are RS232 or RS485 serial ports, then users can configure in this section. If RS232 is the connection ports, then users should select COM2 or COM3. If 42

43 RS485 is the connection ports, just select RS485. Normally, the carry value of commends of serial ports are in 16 and they must be identical with those of tracking cameras or recording system. In this way, the tracking cameras or recording system will be able to work normally. 2 If I/O connection is the communications connection method, then please select the connection type in I/O. There are 8 options in I/O connections, from I/O1 to I/O8. Users can do the configuration based upon the physical interface. If the connection style is I/O, then there is no need to input any commend but to activate certain action with electricity triggering to achieve the desired actions. 3 If the connection of cameras and the main system is via network, then please select Network. There are continuous and one-time modes. Continuous mode refers to switch right after been triggered and switch to another scenario after certain time. One-time mode refers to be triggered one time and switch to certain image and keep switching to a certain senerio. 4 VGA (Lecturer s computer / laptop) signal switch 5 Users can select Network and Auto Detect to proceed image switch. When selecting Network, there should be a software installed into lecturer s computer / laptop and configured an identical IP and connection port (9999) with recording system. If there is any action in lecturer s computer / laptop, the signal will be transmitted to the recording system via network to trigger image switch. When Auto Detect is selected, there is no need to install any software into lecturer s computer / laptop. If there is any action on lecturer s computer / laptop, then the image switch will be triggered automatically. VGA delay can be modified based on users requirements. The default value of VGA delay is 10S. The above 2 settings will be able to be repeated after the first time activation. Which means that when the first action has been triggered, then after 5 seconds, the same action is triggered again. The VGA delay will be counted from the beginning. If there are 2 blackboard writing and 2 VGA have been set up at Network and continuous mode. Users should manually configure the commend codes via the software and the codes which should be identical with blackboard writing and VGA detection codes. Note: The commend codes of blackboard writing and VGA detection are the first 2 codes. The following codes of blackboard writing and VGA detection are for 1+6 and 2+4 positions (2 43

44 blackboard writing and 2 VGA detection) Strategy Click Modify and input the default password 1 to enter the advanced strategy configuration. There is column of switch strategies and users can modify if necessary. A. Alarm Status Current Status: B. It refers to the working status of all active devices. From left to right is the list of devices, e.g refers to the list of devices Number Devices Lecturer Lecturer Student Student VGA Input A VGA Input B Blackboard Blackboard Panorama Close-Up Panorama Close-Up (Computer (Computer Writing A Writing B Camera Camera Camera Camera Desktop) Desktop) 0 refers to no signal; 1 refers to active signal 44
