Pearl 2 - Channel recording status request

Feedback
1

Request:

  • Have the possiblilty to display the recording status of a channel in the layout.
  • In addition, display the recording status of the channel even if the recording was initiated from a Recorder.
  • Alternatively, have the possibility to display the recording status of a channel in the HDMI Output view and, in addition, even if it was initiated from a Recorder.

I know you can ouput the Channel recording and streaming status when setting Multiviewer in the HDMI Output setup but you can’t see the actual capture of any channels that way, just info.

Thanks!

Hello Shebert,

Thank you for making these suggestions! I am not entirely sure I understand how these requests would look on our end, as you are indeed correct that we can show channel activity using Multiviewer.

I wonder if this would be best explained over the phone. Would you be willing to give us a call at 1 877-599-6581 between 0830-1830 ET to ensure I understand your meaning?

Thank you!

Hello Ryan,

I’ll be glad to give you a call.

We can set a specific time for me to call if that’s easier.

I was just about to log a feature request with what I beleive is the same behaviour noted on this thread. It looks like there may be an older request too.

To clarify (and hopefully confirm this is the same as what @Shebert discussed) - it would be great to have the option to overlay a recording indicator on a HDMI output. Essentially similar to the existing option for the audio meter.

The MultiViewer provides this today but there does not appear to be any way to show this when directly tracking a channel. The multiviewr also can not be set to just show a single window so that options are:

  1. no recording indicator, or
  2. lose most of the display area with a 1x2 multiviewer layout and one window used.

Use case is for when this output provides a confidence monitor for non-technical users during recording. Showing recording status as part of this would be extremely useful.

Thank you for clarifying the request! It looks like we do have this request in already, it has the designation PROGMD-282. If you’d like you can send an email to support@epiphan.com and ask to be added to the request. This will give it more weight during development decisions. You’ll also be automatically emailed if the feature is chosen to be implemented.
