NCast Telepresenter Reference Manual
Three options are available for control of recording:
Manual – Recording must be started and stopped by the user via controls on the Session page or by
the room controller via one of the serial interfaces.
Auto – Recording starts and stops when the Session starts and stops.
Disabled – Recording is not permitted on this channel.
4.3.2. Archive Filename
The default archived filename is of the form
20071119-143206-001.mp4
which represents the start time of the recording through use of the fields: year, month, day, hours, minutes,
seconds, channel-number, filetype.
This default filename format may be altered to reflect more customized filenames through use of a formatting
string utilizing any of the following codes:
%a - abbreviated weekday name
%b - abbreviated month name
%c - 4 digit counter
%C - 6 digit counter
%d - day of the month (01 to 31)
%H - 24 hour clock (00 to 23)
%I - 12 hour clock (01 to 12)
%m - month (01 to 12)
%M - minute (00 to 59)
%n - channel number (001 to 100)
%p - AM or PM
%P - am or pm
%S - seconds (00 to 61)
%t – transcode variable
%Y - year
%% - %
For example, if a Telepresenter user wishes to create a custom filename for the “Accounting 101” series of
lectures, the following filename formatting string might be used:
Acct101-%Y-%m-%d
This will create filenames of the form:
Acct101-2007-11-19.mp4
Acct101-2007-11-21.mp4
Acct101-2007-11-23.mp4
…
Using this formatting notation, the default value of the format string for standard archive filenames is this:
%Y%m%d-%H%M%S-%n
The counter variables start at 0001 or 000001 and go to 9999 or 999999. Only one counter variable is
permitted per filename. The counter’s next value is calculated by scanning existing archives which match the
filename template. The filename with highest counter value is discovered and the counter value found is
incremented by one. If all files are removed the counters will start again from 1.
If a newly created archive filename conflicts with an existing archive, a suffix _n (_1, _2, _3, … ) is added to
the new name to avoid overwriting an existing file.
