Start and stop a Multitrack Recorder

You can start and stop multitrack recorders from the multitrack recorder's setup page using the Admin panel.

You can also start and stop multitrack recorders using the One Touch control feature (see Record using Single Touch control on Pearl-2 and Pearl Mini) and using Epiphan Live (see Control streaming and recording using Epiphan Live).

The multitrack recorder number turns red to indicate it is recording. If the system runs out of storage space, the oldest recorded file is deleted to make room for the new recording.

You can have multiple multitrack recorders and multiple channels recording all at the same time. The number of channels being recorded is shown below the Start and Stop buttons on the multitrack recorder's configuration page. You can select which channels to include in the multitrack recorder. See: Select channels to record on a Multitrack Recorder.
