3 To change sound and video quality: In the Recording Quality tab, select the sound quality from the Sound Quality dropdown list. You’ll need to find a balance between sound quality and the limitations of your computer system. Although higher sound quality produces better audio playback, it also results in larger files and puts more demand on your computer system. Use the default Automatic Selection (Recommended) setting for Video Quality before you try other choices. When this setting is selected, the program automatically evaluates your system limitations and selects the best capture rate for your computer system. 4 To change video format: Press the Video Format tab and then select a video format: • Use the Microsoft Video (*.avi) format to create a file that can be viewed with any version of Windows Media Player. This format uses 256 colors. • Use the SMART Recorder Video (*.avi) format to create a more compressed file. This format uses 16 million colors. Because it has more colors, this format produces videos that look better when played back than those produced by the Microsoft Video format. The SMART Recorder Video format can be viewed in Windows Media Player by people who have SMART Board software, or it can be converted using the pack and show feature to enable those who do not have SMART Board software to view the video. 5 To change target file paths: Press the Target Files tab. To change the file path under which videos will be saved, press the Browse button next to the Default Save Directory and select the directory and file folder you want. We recommend that you use a local hard drive because network drives are slower and may hurt performance. To change the file path under which temporary video processing files will be stored, press the Browse button next to the Temporary Files Directory and select the directory and folder you want. We recommend that you store temporary files in the same drive as the saved video files because this dramatically reduces the amount of time needed to save a recording. To change free disk-space warnings, type file size limits in the text boxes provided for the warnings that appear at the beginning of a new session and during the recording. You can also de-select the Warn me if free disk space is below check box if you do not want to receive low disk-space warnings at the beginning of recording sessions. NOTE: If you change your mind and want to return to the system default settings, press the Restore Defaults button. 6 Press OK. Creating and Playing Video Files To improve the quality of your videos, follow these tips while recording: 1 Use your SMART Board interactive whiteboard. Electronic ink shows up very well in the screen videos produced by SMART Recorder and it gives people something to watch. Write often on the board to keep the attention of your audience. 2 Repeat questions from the floor. Just because you heard a question doesn’t mean the microphone was close enough to clearly record what was said. 3 Don’t use animations. Animations and other special effects dramatically increase file size. Tip To convert either AVI file format to WMV format for streaming, download a conversion application from Microsoft at www. microsoft.com/windows/ windowsmedia/wm7/ encoder.asp.
