1. Using MediaWorks DX

MediaWorks DX provides several ways to locate, organize, and replay recordings stored on an Eventide NexLog DX-Series recorder. Once the desired recordings have been found, they can be easily organized into incidents for saving and export. The recordings can also be examined, updated and listened to.

With MediaWorks DX you can also live monitor channel(s), view the status of channel(s), and (if permitted) enable/disable recording on channel(s) for on-demand record/don’t record purposes. The data for each recording can be exported in several ways.

The information about using MediaWorks DX includes:
