What went to air stays recorded

Recording is switched on from the same Playout screen, with the signal on air. For the complaint, for the archive, or to run it again.

What it does

One thing, done properly: recording the channel output to disk.

The channel output

It records what goes to air, graphics included: the same thing the viewer is watching.
With the signal on air

Nothing has to stop and no second machine is involved. It is switched on and off from PROGRAM.
Alongside As-Run

The log says what went out and when; the recording is the proof. They answer different questions and are used together.
It asks for machine

Recording is the heaviest thing the product does: we measured it, and that is where the 4-core floor comes from.

What it records	The channel output, with whatever graphics are on air
Where from	The REC button on the PROGRAM panel, on the Playout screen
Destination	The station's disk. Media library space is budgeted separately
Cost in machine	Measured: one signal on air uses ~28 % of the processor, and ~82 % while also recording (on a 2-core box)
How it is enabled	By licence, on your account. Ask us about yours
Permissions	Per person: who may press REC is decided per user

We use your details only to reply to you. We don't share them with anyone.
