Recorders

A Recorder server enables recording by Portal Server users. If a recorder server is not created
here, any attempt to record a live stream or a stored video will fail. Once enabled, users must
also be assigned the appropriate permissions (see Allow Content Recording on page 96).
(Note: Do not confuse a Recorder server with a Network Video Recorder which is a a
separate product. See the ETV Network Video Recorder Release Notes for more information.)

To add a Recorder configuration:

1. Go to

Global Settings > Recorders

2. Select

Add Recorders

and click

Submit

Note By installation default, all recordings are stored on the D: drive. If you install ETV

Portal Server on a system without a D: drive, you must subsequently go to

Global

Settings > Recorders

and change the record path as necessary. Also, the

Max Recording

field shows the default number of concurrent recording sessions allowed. If you need
more than 2 concurrent recording sessions, you must purchase a Network Video Recorder.
