Selecting where to save the video files

The Screen Recording function allows you to record and save the echo presentation as a video file. Use the Screen Recording page to define where the video files are saved.

You can use a USB flash drive to save the video files. This must be a high quality device with very fast data access.

Each screen recording you make is saved in .mp4 format on the Processor Unit hard disk. The file name reflects the current date and time.

Note:

Video data files will normally become very large. If you wish to record large amounts of data, make sure that you have enough space on your hard disk. Unless your Processor Unit is equipped with a very large disk, we recommend that you save the data to an external storage device.

Procedure

If relevant: Insert the USB flash drive.
Open the Operation menu.
Select Output.
Observe that the Output dialog box opens. This dialog box contains a number of pages selected from the menu on the left side.
Select Screen Recording to open the page.
Select Browse to locate the desired folder.
This function uses a standard operating system dialog box.
Select OK to save the selected setting and close the dialog box.
