In addition to the possibility of entering markers remotely using a wireless presenter, as described in Set up Keyboard Markers, it is also possible to control a recording with our Mangold Remote Observer software.
If you own a license to perform remote observations in combination with your Mangold VideoSyncPro recording station, you can use our Mangold Remote Observer to connect to Mangold VideoSyncPro.
Using our Mangold Remote Observer on an additional device (Windows or Android) you can:
oStart and Stop a VideoSyncPro Studio recording session.
oControl PTZ cameras to predefined positions.
oWatch the video streams* currently being recorded.
oControl a debriefing session by opening and replaying previously recorded sessions.
oWatch the videos* of the current Debriefing session.
oSend live as well as recorded camera views to other devices (requires the additional Mangold Multimedia Player).
oLog observations, using the currently available icon-based Subjects and Markers from your VideoSyncPro Studio station.
oConnect multiple remote observers simultaneously to one recording station; depending on the number of remote observation licenses you have purchased.
This allows you, for instance, to assign a separate observer to each participant, to log all observations during a live recording session more efficiently.
*) Windows only
Note: There is also an Android version of the Remote Observer, but this does not support the camera views.
Network Connection
Remote Observer devices need to be able to connect to the recorder over the network. Therefore we advise connecting their devices to the Camera-network directly.
oFor wired connections, plug a cable into one of the free slots on the network switch.
oWireless connections require a small WiFi Access point like this:
Include an access point in the camera network: •Connect a LAN cable between the camera network switch and a WiFi Access point. •If the device is new, name it something like 'MangoldVideoLab' and provide a memorable password (like M@ngold) •Connect your wireless devices to this MangoldVideoLab WiFi network. |
 Example: TP-LINK TL-WR802N |
| TIP: | In case or changing WiFi-devices, make sure this AC has and intergrated DHCP server to supply these devices with a fitting IP-number. |
