1. Recorder Panel
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Recorder Panel is the graphical user interface used to
control the recorder channels of an XT server. The Recorder
Control Panel shows the record status of a channel and can
enable channels to start or stop recording depending upon the
XT server base configuration. In conjunction with the buttons on
the VGA, there are also keyboard shortcuts and dedicated
buttons on the optional ShuttlePRO controller. Where they are
shown, these are the default settings.
Note
The keyboard shortcuts can be customized using the
Define Shortcuts item of the Tools menu from the main
IP Director menu.

If an XT server is in LSM base mode, the recorder panels are for
information only, the actual recording mode of each channel
configured to record are set by the LSM configuration. Each
record channel will start recording and continue in a loop record
mode from start up. The channel can not start or stop a
recording but will show the current recording timecode and its
record status.
If XT server IPDP Spotbox mode is used, the panel buttons are
active and recorders can be started or stopped using this panel.
