Start a Recording | Haivision InfoCenter

This command creates an active recording for specified session and returns its ID. You will use the recording ID in later commands.

Authorizations: All

Note

If you record a multi-source session, you get a multi-stream recording, whereas if you record a session with one source, you get a one-stream recording. The Command Line API is the same in either case; you are always working with a single recording ID.

Note

The Command Line API only records the session intact. For example, you cannot use it to record only two of the sources for a four-source session.
