Adding or Removing Channels
Profile applications use channels to control disk recording and playback. A channel
defines a logical collection of Profile video, audio, and timecode resources and is
identified by a unique name. This chapter describes how you can remove channels
you no longer use and how to add and configure new channels for your specific needs.
Once you add and configure a new channel, it becomes available for use by Profile
applications.
Using the Channel Configuration dialog box
You use the Channel Configuration dialog box in Configuration Manager to remove,
add and configure channels. The Channel Configuration dialog box allows you to
define channel properties, including:
• Channel name
• Channel type (MPEG Player, MPEG Recorder, MPEG Player/Recorder)
• Video inputs and outputs
• Audio inputs and outputs
• Timecode sources (inputs and outputs)
