Exporting Layout in Multi-Video Format
DW Spectrum provides a powerful feature to perform Export in a proprietary format, which has many
benefits in comparison to standard Export (see "Exporting Recorded Region from Camera"):
It is possible to export several videos simultaneously (for instance, it is possible to export the last
hour of recording from five cameras). The exported files are saved as regular Layout and can be
opened in DW Spectrum. The exported Multi-Video can be navigated through as any other layout (see
"Navigating through several cameras synchronously"), perform Smart Motion Search, etc.
It is possible to export additional information (recorded chunks and motion).
It is possible to prepare a bundled version that can be run and viewed on clean Windows systems.
To do Export in proprietary format:
1. Place the desired Items on Scene. A user cannot export Local Video Files into Multi-Videos, but
cannot mix the two.
2. Select the export region on Time Scale:
Use Right Click Drag
Open Context Menu on Time Scale and click Mark Selection Start (or press “[”), then Mark Selection
End (or press “]”)
To clear selection, use the corresponding Context Menu item
Adjust the export region by dragging edges
For easier zoom, scroll the Mouse Wheel on Time Line.
3. Open Context Menu and choose Export Multi-Video:
If the selection contains empty archive on Camera, it will be exported and NO DATA will be shown
when viewing the exported clip.
