DW Spectrum User Manual

The following option and export overlays are available for .mkv, .avi, and .mp4 export formats:

•Export Settings – Check the Apply Filters box to apply image filters (e.g. rotation, dewarping, image enhancement, etc.) from the source recording to the exported video.

•Add Bookmark Info – Check this box to apply your bookmark description to the exported video, you can change area width and font size. (Only available when Exporting Bookmarks.)

•Add Timestamp – Adds a timestamp in Long (day of week, date, month, and year, hour:minute:seconds and UTC differential) or Short (dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm), ISO8601, or RFC2822 format. Font size is also adjustable.

•Add Image – Browse for an image (typically a logo) to add to the upper left corner. There are sliders for Opacity and Size.

•Add Text – Adds the text of your choice. You can set the Width of the text field and the Font Size.

•Add Info – Check the Camera name box to add the camera's name. Check the Export date box to add the export session's timestamp. You can set the Font Size.

•Rapid Review – Exports video at a higher playback speed than the original recording (see "Rapid Review Export"). Video must be at least 10 seconds long for this option to be available.

IMPORTANT: You may experience playback issues when exporting a video where the primary and secondary streams have different codecs. In such cases, the video should be exported using transcoding or as a multi-video (nov file/executable). See Multi-Video Export for details.

To Export a Video Segment from a Single Camera

1.Select the desired item in the layout.

2.Use the Timeline to select the desired video segment. (See instructions for how to select a time segment in "Timeline".)

3.Right-click on the selected time segment to open the context menu and choose Export Video.

4.Select the Single Camera tab in the Export Video dialog.

5.Select a Folder where the file will be saved and enter a file Name.

6.Select a file format from the pull-down menu.

7.When available, you can optionally check Apply Filters or select from the export overlays described above. Note that overlays are inserted at the upper left corner but can be clicked-and-dragged to any other position.

Note: Including filters or overlay options requires transcoding, which will increase CPU usage and export time significantly.

8.Click Export. A status dialog will display export progress as a percentage. Clicking Stop Export will cancel the operation so that no exported data is saved.

IMPORTANT: An exported video will only be available as a Local File in the Resource Tree until the client restarts. To make it available there for subsequent sessions, save the exported video to the DW Spectrum Media Folder (see “Configuring Media Folders”).
