Note: Defining Scenarios is typically a task for the Lab-manager or the Administrator. The Standard user may not have the rights to create Scenarios.
Scenario serves as a recording template, representing a predefined combination of cameras.
Per Scenario, you can specify which group of cameras shall be recorded simultaneously during a session.
This scenario-based grouping of sources allows you to simultaneously record any combination of up to 9 video sources, spread over multiple rooms, if applicable.
It is required to build at least one scenario, in which you group the sources that can be used for recording.
New Scenario
To set up a new scenario the very first time you only need to click New recording, in all other cases, do the following:
▪Select the command Create New Scenario from the menu 
or select <New empty scenario> from the available scenarios list.
The screen changes to the recording view of VideoSyncPro Studio, showing an empty scenario tab named Scenario 1 and the list of available sources:
Add Source to Scenario
To add a source to your scenario, you first need to 'open' the source you want to use:
▪Click the double-arrow icon in front of the source name.
▪Click the Add to scenario within the source you want to use.
The moment you add a camera to a scenario, a preview panel for that camera is displayed.
▪Repeat this step for each source you want to record and use simultaneously.
▪Once you added all sources for a specific scenario, close the Available Audio/Video Sources panel.
The selected sources now appear on your previously empty scenario tab.
Remove Source from Scenario
To remove a specific camera view from your current scenario:
▪Click the little X icon in the upper right corner of the camera view you do not need.
Save Scenario
To save the current layout of your cameras in the active scenario tab as a template for further recordings:
▪Select Save scenario as... from the menu to name and store the current scenario template into the folder C:\Users\Public\Documents\Mangold VideoSyncPro Studio Data\Scenarios.
IMPORTANT: Do not change the storage location for a scenario file; otherwise, it does not appear in the scenario template selection list.
If your IT department removed the Public Documents folder on your system, make sure to specify a new path to the required Shared Files folder named Mangold VideoSyncPro Studio Data.
You can do so in the Program Settings on the tab Storage.
Note: The name of your scenario, in combination with recording date and time information, is used as the folder name for the storage folder of your recordings.
