4.3. Recording

Broadcast monitoring in real time implicates the control of the current service state. Service recording functionality allows capturing a stream at a given moment of time when detecting a certain state. A stream or an OTT service can be manually recorded or recorded automatically by a preconfigured trigger firing.

Key features:

• Recording by any trigger of the system;

• Pcap recording;

• Recording the entire structure of HLS and DASH services;

• Fill description of a record in the JSON format;

• Simultaneous recording on several probes.

A downloaded IPTV record file is a ZIP archive including a stream dump or Pcap data and a detailed description of a triggered event in the JSON format. An OTT record file contains sets of objects (playlists, segments, initialization files) which are organized in folders and a JSON description of the record structure, i.e., when recording the OTT service, the probe captures a stream retaining the original service structure (instead of seamless stream recording). Recording the OTT service depends on the analysis mode: in the All renditions mode, all available media representations are recorded while in the Player mode the probe records only those representations that are currently analysed.
