The video export formats that are available in Security Desk determine the media player that is used to view the exported video files. You can export video in G64, G64x, ASF, and MP4.
The G64x and G64 formats are Security Center formats that support bookmarks, motion indicators, metadata overlays, and audio and date-time information. All event markers are included, except metadata markers. These formats also support variable frame rate and variable image resolution. G64x format also supports video watermarking and is the only format that can be re-exported, if the person who initially exported the video has enabled this option.
When you export multiple video sequences from the canvas simultaneously, they can be combined into a single G64x file. G64x files are also created when you export an incident package using incident recording in a tile. Depending on how you export the video, the video sequences are either played back in the same tiles that they were playing in when they were exported, or played back within a single tile, in the order that they were recorded.
You need Security Desk or the Genetec™ Video Player to view G64x and G64 files.
Advanced Systems Format (ASF) is a Microsoft proprietary data format. This format supports audio information and variable frame rate, but not metadata associated with the video sequence. Date and time information is also not supported, but it can be overlaid on the video images during the exporting process.
If the video sequence that you want to export uses multiple image resolutions (CIF, 2CIF, 4CIF, and so on), the exported video sequence follows the image resolution of the first frame rate in the source video sequence. In addition, metadata that is associated with the video sequence is not exported. You can use this format if you need to make a copy of a video recording to share with law enforcement, your legal department, or other members of your security team.
When you export multiple ASF video sequences from the canvas simultaneously, a single ASX file is produced so you can view the ASF files in the order they were recorded.
You need Windows Media Player to view ASF video files.
MP4 is a standard format that stores audio and video and can be played back on many media players such as Windows Media Player and QuickTime.
When you export multiple MP4 video sequences from the canvas simultaneously, an ASX file is produced so you can view the MP4 files in the order they were recorded.
Exporting to MP4 supports H.264 and MPEG-4 video, and AAC audio formats. Fusion stream encryption and overlays are not currently supported.
