Features of the Recording App

1. Video Pane
2. Control Pane
3. Tool Pane
4. App Menu Pane

1. Video Pane

1. Room Tabs
   During a recording, you can switch between rooms that you have previously selected for your simulation in the event wizard. For better orientation, each change is automatically marked with a corresponding annotation.
2. PTZ Indicator
   This camera has PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) functionality and can be controlled via the SIMStation Control Software. Click with the mouse on the point in the video that should be in the center of the image – the PTZ IP camera then aligns itself accordingly.
3. Camera Settings
   Opens an overlay dialog box for settings of the respective camera.
4. Camera Settings: Position Memory
   Four configurable memory slots for camera positions and zoom factor. The configuration is done via the SIMStation Stage Designer.
5. Camera Settings: Zoom Factor
   Press and hold the respective magnifying glass button to zoom in or out.
6. Video Settings
   Camera info, cinema mode, full screen mode.

2. Control Pane

1. Control/Info Tabs
   Switching between the control panel and event information.
2. Room Layouts
   In the SIMStation Stage Designer, you can define four different camera arrangements per room (i.e., how many and which cameras are displayed in which form) as room layouts and switch between these layouts at any time – even during recording.
3. Time Code
   Recording duration – displayed in minutes and seconds.
4. Transmission
   Starts a live transmission to the selected transmission rooms. When a recording is started, this function is automatically activated!
5. Recording Button
   Starts and stops a recording.
6. Audience Messenger
   Here you can transmit the scenario’s Clinical Vignette or live-entered information for the audience at the transmission room.
7. Simulation Participants
   Lists all assigned trainers (facilitators), trainees (learners), and standardized patients to your simulation. 

3. Tool Pane

All the tools for your simulation are available in this pane, grouped thematically and functionally in expandable and collapsible tool panels. Depending on your needs, these tool panels can also be hidden or shown (via the 3-point menu).

1. ANNOTATIONS
   Annotating simulation events in real-time.
2. CHECKLISTS
   Integrated checklists for the simulation.
3. MICROPHONES
   Real-time control over microphones in the simulation room.
4. MEDIA SCREENS
   Control of multimedia content for transmission to the media screens integrated in the simulation room.
5. AUDIO TO ROOM: Public Acoustics
   Control of ambient sounds to be played into the simulation room (uploaded audio files) and control of announcements from the control room to the simulation room (via control microphone); transmission to a loudspeaker in the simulation room.
6. AUDIO OF PATIENT: Patient Acoustics
   Control of patient sounds to be played into the simulation room (uploaded audio files) and control of the simulated patient voice from the control room to the simulation room (via the control microphone); transmission to a loudspeaker near the patient in the simulation room.
7. TRANSMISSION
   Real-time control of live transmission.
8. AUDIENCE
   Control of different text formats (e.g., Clinical Vignette, scenario info, etc.) for transmission into the transmission room.
