Audio File Settings
Select from the File format combo box the file format for your audio
data to be recorded. Various file formats are supported and a list of
them can be found in section “Supported File Formats” on page A-3.
From the Bit depth combo box select the bit depth of the audio files.
The DVS software supports all common resolutions (bit depths).
The combo boxes File type and Sampling are available for informa-
tion purposes and provide no functionality.
4.1.4 Selecting the Storage Location and File Name
Before performing a record you have to determine the name of the cap-
tured file(s) and where to save them. By clicking on the triangle button
to the left of the item Destination, the necessary settings can be ex-
panded (or collapsed):
Figure 4-5: The file name and path settings
The file name has to be entered manually, but there are several ways to
set a record path:
1. You can enter the respective path manually.
2. You can select a path via a dialog window.
3. You can drag and drop a path from one of the browsing panes of
Spycer.
All these procedures will be explained in this section.
Once a path has been selected, the Disk capacity item shows you
graphically the amount of disk space that is currently used on the en-
tered storage (bar and percentage value). The timecode values of the
used and free disk space will adapt depending on the currently config-
ured input settings (video raster).
Normally, when a container format is selected as the file format
(e.g. MXF), you cannot generate audio and video separately.
Both will automatically be included in the created file.
Further information about audio and the way it is handled in
the DVS software can be found in section “About Audio” on
page 2-18.
