VS-Recorder 5.60.22182

Release: General Availability
Name: VS-Recorder
Date: 20.07.2022

Description: VS-Recorder is the recorder for AlphaCom conversations and associated video. The software is delivered as 2 Windows Installer packages, for server and client.

Note icon

In audio only systems where there are few operators and many substations it is normally only necessary to define the operator stations as device. In systems which involve cameras of which the video needs to be recorded as part of the audio call, all substations must be defined and associated with a camera. In this case it may be advisable not to define the operator stations as well, as the call will be recorded twice, once for the operator, once for the substation. This will in effect half the number of simultaneous calls that can be recorded by the recorder.


Added feature

It is now possible to set up recordings for automatic export to a .wav file. In the recorder client, select 'Setup/System Setup' and configure the fields in the section 'Automatic Wav Export' as required.

Fix

Right clicking on a listed recording could crash the Recorder client.

VS-Recorder 5.40.21214

Release: General Availability
Name: VS-Recorder
Date: 04.08.2021

Feature change

Possibility to use a demo license with the Enterprise Management application.
In demo-mode, the enterprise management server will only run for 4 hours, and restart is not possible within 4 hours of the demo-mode expiry.

Version numbering

The version numbering is rebased to be in line with the version numbering as used by Zenitel's supplier. This to make identification of the version which has been installed on a system easier.

VS-Recorder 2.1.3.26

Release: General Availability
Name: VS-Recorder
Date: 20.12.2019

Feature change

In earlier versions, it was possible to define maximum 6. cameras. This limit has now been removed and replaced with a limit on the maximum number of simultaneous recordings. This is set to 64. Note that a call recording which involves for instance a TCIV and its camera counts as 2 simultaneous recordings, one for the audio call, and one for the video stream.

VS-Recorder 2.1.3.23

Release: General Availability
Name: VS-Recorder
Date: 15.03.2019

Problems solved

A communication problem between the Client and the Enterprise Server could cause 2 issues:

  • Impossible for the client to retrieve licenses from the enterprise server
  • In that case trying to check the available licenses would crash the client

VS-Recorder 2.1.3.20

Release: General Availability
Name: VS-Recorder
Date: 10.09.2018

Changes

There are no new features or bug fixes. The changes are internal to make the software run more efficiently.

VS-Recorder 2.1.3.19

Release: General Availability
Name: VS-Recorder
Date: 31.01.2018

Problems solved

NVR2 service crashes on exporting long recordings

This was a timing issue which has been resolved

VS-Recorder 2.1.3.18

Release: General Availability
Name: VS-Recorder
Date: 17.01.2018

Problems solved

Impossible to add new AlphaCom connection

When an old connection was deleted and a new added, the new one could sometimes not be saved, if this was using the last available connection license. This was related to a database cleanup issue.

New Features

Change in user rights assignment

It is now possible to assign Playback rights independent of Live View rights.

VS-Recorder 2.1.3.15

Release: General Availability
Name: VS-Recorder
Date: 11.12.2017

Problems solved

Green led indication in the client that shows active recording goes off after some time

An on-going recording is indicated by a green indicator in front of the device being recorded. During 24/7 recording of conference channels it could, after some weeks, happen that the indicator would turn gray. This did not affect the recording itself.
The indicator is now updated every 5 minutes. In the worst case, the indicator may therefore turn gray for 5 minutes before being set to green again.

Failure to playback after pause

Sometimes, if the pause was used during playback, the audio would not be audible when playback was resumed. Also the audio activity indicator would be stuck in the level at the momwent of pause. This has now been solved.

VS-Recorder 2.1.3.14

Release: General Availability
Name: VS-Recorder
Date: 06.10.2017

New Features

Export of audio as wave file (wav-format)

Recordings can now be exported as wave file. When exported in wav-format, the 2 sides of the conversation will always be mixed.
Export to wave does not require an audio export license.

Recordings are now listed, newest first

Most of the times, it is a recent recording which is of most interest for playback. Recordings are now listed, newest first.
