DW Spectrum User Manual
Digital Watchdog
Temporary Folder – the folder that stores temporary files. FIles are stored during recording, then
are copied to a specified folder to be saved.
IMPORTANT. This folder should be accessible and writable.
Capture Mode: Fullscreen (if several monitors are installed the desired one should be chosen) or
Application Window (only DW Spectrum window will be recorded).
Disable Aero – select this option to enhance performance. If chosen, once Screen Recording is in
progress, Windows Aero will be turned off.
Capture Cursor – select this checkbox if a mouse cursor needs to be visible during recording.
Resolution – select screen resolution. The lower the resolution, the higher the performance.
Encoder Quality – select Performance for best performance. Select Best for best quality.
Primary and Secondary device – select sound devices to enable audio. Audio will get mixed from
both devices. The best practice is to select master from the sound card as primary and microphone
as secondary. In this case, both sounds from DW Spectrum (i.e. video clips) and microphone will be
recorded simultaneously.
