K2 TimeDelay menu
K2 TimeDelay menu
When the K2 TimeDelay application is active, a TimeDelay menu appears in
AppCenter’s main window. The following table describes the menu items.
Channel Description
Record channel (selected
channel) The record channel pane contains a thumbnail, time dome, and stop and record
controls. The thumbnail for the currently recording asset is displayed above
the time dome. If no thumbnail can be found or created, an icon is displayed
indicating that there is no thumbnail available. Unlike the thumbnail in the
Recorder application, this thumbnail is updated every 10–20 seconds to reflect
the current record position.
The Time Dome control graphically displays the remaining storage and shows
estimated remaining time available on the drive. A filled Time Dome
represents no storage remaining. A “sweep second hand” shows that recording
is in progress. This is represented as a white line on the Time Dome that
sweeps through a complete revolution every ten seconds.
The Record and Stop controls manually start and stop the TimeDelay session.
This starts and stops all channels currently controlled by that TimeDelay
session, including the playback channels.
A selected channel is indicated by a blue outline.
Play channels (pending
and playing) Each play channel contains a thumbnail, the channel and machine name,
timecode, preset delay value, and stop and play controls.
Before playback starts, the play channel displays a countdown in place of the
thumbnail. After playback starts, the thumbnail appears, and is updated every
10–20 seconds to represent a roughly current playback position.
The Play and Stop controls can be used to manually start and stop playback.
When you press Play, the delay changes to indicate the appropriate time
differential. When you press Stop and then press Play, playback does not
resume where it was paused. Instead, playback jumps to the correct delay
position.
If you pause a play channel that was started with Start At, it automatically
switches to Delay to maintain the initial offset.
If you pause a play channel pause or stop a playing channel, then go to the
Settings dialog box to change that channel from Delay to Start At, you must
hit Play for the change to take effect.
Menu item Description
Stop All/Start This menu item and the corresponding tool bar control toggle
between Start and Stop All, depending on whether or not a
TimeDelay session is in progress. It has the same effect as the
Record and Stop controls on the record channel pane.
Properties Displays the properties for the program that is being recorded
in a dialog box.
Settings Opens the TimeDelay Settings dialog box.
