VS-Recorder 2 - Release Notes

VS-Recorder 2.1.3.26

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

Description: VS-Recorder is the recorder for AlphaCom conversations and associated video. The software is delivered as 3 Windows Installer packages, for server, client and enterprise server. The enterprise server provides an overlay and is only useful when multiple servers need to be presented to the client as a single recorder server.

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.

Feature change

In earlier versions, it was possible to define maximum 64 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 2.1.3.15

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.
