Working With the TimeDelay Project

A TimeDelay project includes the resource configuration for record and
playback channels as well as application specific information like single or two
column view, current timecode source, and information used for crash
recovery. This project information is stored in a file that uses a “.tdx” file name
extension.

When you start TimeDelay, a default TimeDelay project is created. Although it
contains a record and playback channel, the default project is not usable until
you assign video and audio inputs and outputs with Resource Manager.

Once you save a TimeDelay project, you can use the project file to start the
TimeDelay application. Launching a project file directly starts TimeDelay with
the saved project settings.

Saving a TimeDelay Project

To save a TimeDelay project:

1. Choose

File | Save

or

File | Save As…

This opens a standard WindowsNT Save dialog. TimeDelay projects use the
‘.tdx’ file name extension.

2. Chose a file name and file location for the TimeDelay project. This can be

anywhere on the WindowsNT network.

3. Click the

Save

button.

Opening an Existing Project

To open an existing TimeDelay project, do one of the following:

• Double-click a TimeDelay project file in the WindowsNT desktop.

• With TimeDelay running, select

File | Open…

This opens a standard WindowsNT “Open” dialog, which allows you to select
an existing TimeDelay project file.
