The Replay Source Module

The Replay Source module acts as a (buffering) video source for the Replay Controller. It stores the video stream on disk using minimal CPU and allows for fast retrieval of video segments. Make sure to use a hard drive with sufficient throughput and storage: for 720p the file will be recorded at 83 Mb/s. To compute the bit rate you can use this formula:

bit rate = vertical resolution * horizontal resolution * frames per second * 3  / 1000000 Mb/s.

A description of all controls, commands and options is listed below (right click the module to get access to its popup menu).
