8. Recording Function

*The recording function is available using firmware Rev.1362 and above. Please update your LiveWedge if running an older version firmware.*

Overview

LiveWedge can record video (using the program out as a source) to a compatible SD card with 100MB or greater of free space.

LiveWedge will create new recording files if the file size is more than 4GB or the recording time is more than 150 minutes.

You can configure the recording video resolution and quality (bitrate) using the LiveWedge App or unit configuration menu.

Precautions

  • Do not remove the SD card while recording.
  • Do not power off the LiveWedge while recording

Doing either of these actions could result in the corruption of recording data and Cerevo can not provide any technical data recovery support.

App recording specifications and limitations

  • SD card recording, live streaming and tablet preview are exclusive functions, so cannot be used at the same time. While recording HDMI preview out will always display, so use a HDMI display to check the preview.
  • The recorded file name is [T_.mp4](e.g 20160225T123456_000.mp4) and stored in folder named [000]. If the recording file is split up the folder name will increase by 1 with each new file.
  • LiveWedge doesn’t have a date & time adjustment feature. If the filename shows the wrong date and time, connect LiveWedge to the LiveWedge app and LiveWedge will set the filename based on your tablet’s date and time.

Unit recording operation

  1. Make sure the SD card is inserted properly and you can see [SD] icon on the right of the unit display.
