The Start Manual Recording dialog lets you record local screen activity without connecting to a Remote Control viewer. This permits you to create recordings, for example, for computer-based training (CBT) use.
This dialog contains the following fields:
Specifies the default path for saving recorded sessions. If blank, recording files are stored in the system-wide Temporary folder by default.
Note: Use the Browse button to access the Save As dialog, which lets you choose where to store the recorded session. You may rename the default file name as long the extension is "urc."
Specifies that the color depth of bitmaps should be reduced before recording data.
Valid values are as follows:
Displays bitmaps at their native color depth. No reduction takes place.
Reduces bitmaps to limited range, true-color images. Most images appear indistinguishable from their originals, but some color gradients may appear banded. Dithering can be enabled to mitigate this effect.
Reduces the bandwidth in a way that is less noticeable to users, making it virtually imperceptible from the No Color Reduction option in most cases.
Reduces bitmaps to a limited color palette, which may cause color distortion in some bitmaps. Note that 8 bits/pixel color images are the same size as 8 bits/pixel gray scale images.
Reduces bitmaps to 256 shades of gray. This produces a “perfect” gray scale reproduction of the original color bitmap. However, areas of different color that have the same intensity may display as the same shade of gray.
Reduces the bandwidth in a way that is less noticeable to users. This option uses less bandwidth than the TV Color: 12 bits/pixel option, but with some loss of detail.
Reduces bitmaps to 16 shades of gray with some loss of detail. Note that 4 bits/pixel images are half the size of 8 bits/pixel images.
Reduces bitmaps to bi-level black and white detection only. Dithering is recommended for this setting.
Default: No Color Reduction
Note: In CA ITCM Release 12.5, you can also change the color depth during a session using the Color Reduction context menu option.
Controls how the colors are blended during the reduction process. This option is enabled for certain color depths. It compensates for the loss of color accuracy by alternating between the two colors nearest to the original color. This improves the rendition but reduces performance.
Note: Dithering is only available in High Color: 16 bits/pixel, Low Color: 8 bits/pixel, Greyscale: 4 bits/pixel, and Greyscale: 1 bit/pixel reduction.
Sets the maximum amount of bandwidth permitted for the recording file. It limits the rate at which the host screen data is recorded to the file. You can use this option to limit the recording file size.
Valid maximum bandwidth values are as follows:
Default: Unlimited
