Encoder - Storage¶

This section defines where video is stored, how long it is saved and the disk threshold.

Figure: Encoder Storage¶

Table: Storage Information¶
Main index path:	Example: C:\Video\indices\AB1.idx. Normally set by Volicon to default path on the main HDD.
Free disk space threshold	This amount of space will not be used by MIP and kept free for other use. Value should be between 0 and 0.9 where 0 means no free space is reserved and 0.9 means 90% of storage location is kept free.
History depth	Specifies how long programs are stored.
Value:	Numeric value specifying how many unit intervals video will be stored. Example a Value of 30 and an Interval of days will store video for 30 days.
Interval:	Pulldown specifying: minutes, hours, days, weeks, months years.

Table: Storages¶
Path	Absolute path to the storage location.
MaxUsage	The maximum percentage of the total size of the storage location used by the channel.
ADD/DELETE	Add/remove storages.

Table: Long Term Storage (LTS)¶
History depth	Specifies how long programs are stored. Normally streams are stored in the local storage. However, in a case where that is not adequate, Volicon support can configure LTS.
Value:	Numeric value specifying how many unit intervals video will be stored. Setting this value to 0 means data is not saved.
Interval	Pulldown specifying: minutes, hours, days, weeks, months years.
Path:	LTS storage location, typically C:Video\LTS\ if LTS is running on the same computer.
Min free disk space:	Minimum disk space available on Archive machine before archiving. Value is in Gigabytes.
Slave	Specify if this encoder is a backup encoder for another system.
Master encoder name:	The name of the master encoder (only relevant when backup encoder is used).
Master encoder path:	Absolute path to the storage location of the master encoder (only relevant when backup encoder is used).
MaxGap size:	The maximum gap size between files.
Slave lag:	Specifies how long slave will wait before starting to archive its content. Setting this to less than 1 week is not recommended and may cause both master and slave to archive needlessly.
