When you select an event with video on the Event Listing tab of the INSPECTION screen, NEXUS will automatically play the relevant part of the inspection video on the Video pane. Videos appear on this pane in case the following event data and data extracted from the video match:

  • Event end time

  • ROV name

When comparing the ROV name, the following scenarios are possible:

An event has an ROV set if it is linked to a survey set that is associated with an ROV. The ROV and event start/end date of a video file is extracted by NEXUS IC from the filename (see Filename Formats).

Tip

To check if an event is associated with an ROV, select the event, go to the Survey tab of the Event Details pane, and click ellipsis in the Survey Set field. In the Select Survey Set dialog, you can see the associated ROVs for each survey set in the ROV column:
