Simultaneously Creating Proxy

D-Stream simultaneously records proxy simultaneously when recording original high definition video.

Time Delay Instant Replay (TDIR)

Playout or video edit on another device while recording the input video as a file, without waiting for the recording to be completed.

TC Break Recording

Create files for each successive timecode section when recording from a tape. It makes multiple recorded files in one operation.

Scheduled Recording
