NewTek 3Play 330 - Manual (Page 70)

We discussed this 3P LAY Desktop panel briefly way back in Section 5.4 (Quick Start). In addition to
providing some valuable information, it is home to the all-important Record button.
6.4.3.1 RECORD
This button toggles live video recording on and off. Naturally, recording begins when Record is
pressed, and ends when it is pressed again.
At times you may wish to halt recording temporarily within a session, perhaps during some lengthy
interruption. You can easily tell when recording is active by glancing at the button and its nearby
‘LED’, which will be lit up. As well, the value in the nearby Session time Recorded counter is
always climbing when Record is on. Please see Section 6.2.3 for other important details about the
Record function.
NOTE: 3PLAY DOES NOT DISPLAY LIVE VIDEO SOURCES WHEN RECORD IS DISABLED.
6.4.3.2 SYSTEM INFORMATION
This area shows important system information such as Session Time Recorded and the Remaining
Disk Space on the device (displayed as hours, minutes and seconds.)
Hint: If Remaining Disk Space falls below 5 minutes, the text turns red, to warn that the hard drive
is nearly full. Recording will stop automatically when all available space is used up (a dialog
appears stating that the drive is full).
6.4.4 MONITORING
Most of the left-hand side of the 3P LAY Desktop is devoted
to monitoring. Three small upper monitors (labeled Input 1,
2 and 3) always show the video streams serving 3P
LAY ’s
inputs.
The large monitor is the Main Output monitor. Beneath it
are three smaller Output Stream monitors. The smaller
monitors show all three streams (camera angles) associated
with the current 3P
LAY output. The various monitors serve
different purposes, and also include interactive features.
