IC-Recorder Screen

The IC-Recorder screen is made up of the following main elements:

Main Menu

From the main menu of IC-Recorder, you can access the following options:

Menu Option	Description
File ‣ Change Project Location	Allows you to change the folder where the recorded video files are stored. You specify the default location under Tools ‣ Options ‣ Project. If you want to change this location for a specific recording before starting the inspection, you can go to File ‣ Change Project Location and select the folder from the file explorer window.
File ‣ Open Project Location	Launches the file explorer where you can view the folder where the recorded video files are stored.
File ‣ Open Video	Allows you to select a video file from the file explorer and play it in IC-Recorder.
File ‣ Show/Hide Status Bar	Shows or hides the status bar from the bottom of the IC-Recorder screen.
File ‣ Exit	Closes the IC-Recorder application.
View ‣ Captured Videos	Select to display or deselect to hide the Captured Videos pane on the IC-Recorder screen.
View ‣ Captured Images	Select to display or deselect to hide the Captured Images pane on the IC-Recorder screen.
View ‣ Borderless	If you select this option, IC-Recorder will hide its border, toolbars, and other elements when you start recording (either by clicking the Record button or by initiating an inspection in IC-Inspection). This feature can be useful if you want to maximize the monitor space dedicated to video. To revert to the default view, simply right-click on the video area and deselect ‘Borderless Mode’ in the context menu, or double-click within the video area.
View ‣ Log File	Allows you to open the trace log file, which shows a technical log of changes made in the current session. This can be useful for debugging purposes.
Tools ‣ Options	Allows you to set up and customise IC-Recorder as per your requirements. For more information see Configuration.
Help	You can access the online help documentation, the official NEXUS website, or contact support from this menu option.

Panes

There are three main panes available on the screen of IC-Recorder:

• Captured Video pane: Shows all the video files that have been recorded in the current session. From this pane, you can play these videos or open the file location where they are stored.

• Main recording pane: Allows you to view and manage the video files that are recorded by IC-Recorder.

• Captured Images pane: Shows all the images that have been captured in the current session. From this pane, you can launch these image files in the default image viewer or open the file location where they are stored.

Main Toolbar

The toolbar on the main recording pane contains the following options:

Menu Option	Description
Record	Starts recording video directly from IC-Recorder. Note Use this option only if you use IC-Recorder as a standalone application. If you use IC-Recorder together with IC-Inspection, we recommend that you start video recording by initiating an inspection from within IC-Inspection. This will trigger video recording in IC-Recorder.
Stop	Stops the recording of video. Note Use this option only if you started video recording from IC-Recorder. If you started recording from IC-Inspection, stop the inspection within IC-Inspection, which stops video recording in IC-Recorder as well.
Frame	Captures an instant image of what you can currently see in the recording pane.
Overlay	Allows you to select the text overlay option to be applied for the current video. These available text overlays are set up either in IC-Inspection (see Set Up Text Overlays) or in IC-Recorder (see Set Up Text Overlays).
Refresh	Allows you to refresh the video stream or image in the current pane.
Edit Overlays	Allows you to configure text overlays. For more information, see Set Up Text Overlays.
Time Source	If set to System Time, the date and time field visible to the right of this button shows the current time according to this PC’s clock. If set to IC-Inspection Time, it shows time from IC-Inspection.
ROV	If you use multiple ROVs during inspection, you can select the ROV from this menu to display the relevant video channel.

Status Bar

The status bar at the bottom of the IC-Recorder screen shows the following:

• Whether IC-Inspection is connected

• The port that you are connected to

• The status of video recording

• The path to the project location folder where the recorded videos will be stored. You can click this path to open the folder or change the project location.

• The resolution of the video

• The available HD space

• Software Version

You can hide the status bar from the View menu option.
