If you received a pre-configured video lab, continue with Design your Session.
Each network source that is compatible with your Mangold Lab needs to be specified within the Mangold VideoSyncPro Studio software before you can start recording.
If VideoSyncPro cannot find a sources file on startup, the following Solution Finder dialog appears:
•Click Define Sources to start a network search from within the Available Audio / Video Sources list window:
During this network-scan, a little STOP icon and the highlighted ongoing IP-numbers, in the lower right corner of this window, indicates the search process is still in progress.
After the scan has finished, all Axis sources found are automatically added to the sources list:
IMPORTANT: If your setups contains an Axis Network Audio Encoder (P8221), it can NOT be created automatically!
You need to create that source and assign it to the camera sources manually, as described in Audio Encoder.
Source Adjustments
The automatically added sources receive default settings only, and the names reflect the camera model and IP-number.
| TIP: | Change the entry in the field Source name, because this name is used as a file name for the recorded video. |
Depending on your lab setup, you also might need to make some further adjustments to the listed sources.
•Click on a source in your list to get full access to the available options:
oSource Name - Each source name is used as a file name for the recorded video file from that camera. You may want to rename those sources for easier identification and shorter files names:
▪Enter the preferred unique name into the Source name field. This name is used as a file name for the recorded video.
oIP Address - Requires the IP number of the camera.
▪After entering the IP-number, click Verify source to check if the camera is found and the camera model is correct.
oDevice - Shows the Axis camera model after clicking Verify Srouce.
oUser name and Password - These entries are required to access the Axis camera, in order capture the video stream.
Do NOT change this entry if you are using a preconfigured Mangold Video lab with AXIS Cameras!
oOnly if you changed the user name and password within the camera back-end, you need to adjust the default setting.
oSource Image - If you use tripods, the camera image is probably up-side-down:
▪To turn the video image, select Upside-down for the current source.
oExternal Audio (input) - Depending on the setup of your audio situation, you might need to select an External audio source from the drop-down list.
▪For details on the possible audio features, read the section Audio Encoder.
oPush-to-Talk - If you have purchased a Push to Talk license - to speak to the participants from within the control room - you must enable this feature at the source to which the required speakers are connected.
▪Read Push to Talk (PTT) for further information.
IMPORTANT: There are several additional audio features available as described in Special Audio Features .
oChannel - Only applicable, if you use an Axis video encoder P7214 to integrate analog cameras.
▪Enter a separate channel number for each camera connected to the Axis video encoder.
Once all sources are specified and renamed, the list can look like this:
IMPORTANT: To make use of those sources, you need to create at least one scenario.
