Recording

The Administrative Account User can click on the Edit button to view and/or edit any of these configuration options in the Recording subsection. 
 
Use the Recordings tab of the General Settings Properties window to specify the following parameters:
 
To specify the location where the PROXY Pro RAS server saves recorded sessions, type a full path in the Recording File Directory text box. The default is the Data\Recordings subdirectory of the installation directory.  In the Master Playback window, when you position the slider forward or backward within a recording, the playback must resume from the nearest checkpoint, which provides a complete picture of the Host screen.  The more checkpoints you have within a recording, the quicker it is to locate a particular point within the recording. However, adding too many checkpoints can drastically increase network traffic and cause the recording files to become very large.
 
To set the Automatic Checkpoint Generation, type a value for the following settings:
 
 
To set the Limits for a recorded session, type a value for the following settings:
 
 
To set Screen Capture Preferences, choose one of the following settings:
 
 
- Prefer kernel mode, but use this profile for user mode will attempt to use kernel mode drivers to capture screen data on Host, as long as kernel mode drivers are available.
- Prefer user mode, and use this profile will use user mode code to capture screen data on Host and will use the bandwidth throttling settings according to the "user mode profile" that can be accessed by pressing Configure... The description for the currently selected user mode profile will appear as a text field next to the Configure... button (for example, "High Quality/High Bandwidth").
 
Bandwidth throttling
The user-mode screen capture technology has the ability to "throttle" itself to a restricted amount of bandwidth. This may be preferable when responsiveness and throughput are more important than screen quality, particularly over low-bandwidth connections. The amount of throttling is controlled by parameters set in a "user mode profile". The “Configure…” button on the Screen tab brings up a dialog that allows the end-user to select a hard-coded, predefined configuration, or to specify a custom configuration.
 
Each "user mode profile” consists of the following information:
The Host settings are preconfigured with the following four profiles:

The Medium-Low and Low profiles are appropriate for high volume screen recording environments, when screen quality can be traded off for lower screen capture rates and smaller screen recording file sizes.  You can create your own custom user mode profile by selecting [Custom] from the dropdown list and specifying your desired parameters.
