Recording Sessions
The STING II provides several ways to start and stop recording audio and
video. To save power, the STING II is automatically configured to close the
video output 300 seconds (5 minutes) after beginning to record. After that
time, although the unit continues to record, it will not automatically display
what it is recording, even if connected to a television or monitor. This value
can be changed in the conf.txt file.
The settings that determine what will be recorded are determined using the
Setup or the Media Center applications. For more information, see
Setup
Software
.
File Types
Each time you start or stop recording, one of the following types of files will
be created, depending on what settings you have selected prior to initiating
the recording session).
File Extension Type of File Encryption Setting
.mpg Audio/Video Not encrypted
.mpx Audio/Video Encrypted
.m2v Video only Not encrypted
.m2x Video only Encrypted
.mp3 Audio only Not encrypted
.m3x Audio only Encrypted
.jpg Single image Not encrypted
.jpx Single image Encrypted
You can select the type of recording session in the Setup software
application (Setup > Record > Recording Mode).
This option enables you to select audio/video, video only, or MP3 audio
only. Alternatively, you can create a .jpg by:
• Pressing the Image Capture button on the remote control.
• Pressing the right button on the STING II unit’s control panel briefly
(for less than 5 seconds).
