If your Digital Broadcaster includes the encoder module or a digital encoder device, the Record page allows you to encode files for future playout or capture them to your media library. It also shows you the real-time status of the active encode or capture. This page essentially acts like a simple VCR control for the capture device.
Field Descriptions
- Encoder Status– shows the state of the encoder. Possible states include:
- STOPPED – the encoder is not currently recording.
- STARTED – the encoder is currently recording.
- ERROR – the Web Application has detected a problem with the encode. Look at the top of the screen for a description of the error.
- Elapsed Time – if the encoder is recording, the amount of time it has been encoding, in hours, minutes, and seconds.
- File Information
- Unattached Program – If you have created a placeholder on the Content page for the program you want to record, select it from the drop-down list.
- Filename – If you are not using a placeholder name, enter a name for the file to be encoded. Filenames must be unique on the server.
- File Duration – the duration of the capture in hours, minutes, and seconds (HH:MM:SS). If left blank or set to 00:00:00, the encode will default to 20:00:00. You may stop the encode and save the file at that point at any time by clicking on the Stop Encode button.

How can I time-shift a satellite feed to conform to a different time zone— I.E. EST to MST, a 2 hour delay.
If so, can I drop in ID’s & spots over the delyed video?????
Paul,
If you have a satellite decoder, you can capture the analog output of that decoder using one of our input channels (on a B3000, for instance, or on a C100).
You can create a TBD that represents the capture you will do, and schedule that TBD to play out some time in the future. Then, schedule a capture to capture to that TBD. When the capture completes, the file will “replace” the TBD and play out at the times you have scheduled.
The only catch is you cannot start playing the capture before the capture is complete. So if you are time shifting by 2 hours, you cannot have a capture longer than 1 hour and 59 minutes.
Hope that helps,
