Meerkat Master
Index File
These have the a .mix file extension and require a second file to be present

load video for all camera present within the video file.
Mitsubishi
MitsubishiV2
All the TLX files in the selected folder are loaded. Each file only contains a
few minutes of video footage, so SiraView strings the files together into a
single long video.
Mobile Phone Video
Video files from mobile phones tend to follow industry standards. The
video is held in a single file that typically has “3gp” or “mp4” file extension;
however, many files that are not from mobile phones also use the “mp4”
file extension.
Not all mobile phone videos include good time information. The elapsed
time of the video will be good, but the starting time may not be recorded
accurately or at all. If the video has the starting time internally set to zero
then SiraView will display it as the start of the year 1904. That may seem a
strange date to choose, but it is strictly consistent with the mobile phone
video standards.
You may find that some mobile phone files play very slowly in reverse and
there may be a significant delay in stepping or seeking backwards in the
video. Again this is a consequence the mobile phone video standards and
the various manufacturers implementation of them.
