E. Selectable Screen Area

By default, the Screen Agent records the entirety of the user’s screen(s), however, this function can also be configured to record only a portion of the screen or a full monitor in the case of multiple screens.

In order to set custom screen parameters, you must use Window’s Registry Editor and use the following configurations:

  • for 64-bit system: HKLM/SOFTWARE/WOW6432Node/Eventide/wscaph/Default

  • for 32-bit system: Computer/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Eventide/wscaph/Default

Registry settings will be configured to the following (in pixels):

  • RfbPort 5900

  • ExtraPorts 5995:<width>x<height>+<horizontal offset>+<vertical offset>

Selectable Screen Area Examples:

  • To record the first monitor in a two-monitor setup, ExtraPorts setting 5995:1920x1080+0+0 wherein pixels are registered at 1920 x 1080 with no offsets

  • To record the second monitor, you would use ExtraPorts setting 5995:3840x1080+1920+0 wherein pixels are registered at 3840 x 1080 with an offset of 1920 + 0

    • ExtraPorts = 5995:3840x1080+0+0

  • Records just the bottom right quadrant of the first 1080p monitor in a dual monitor setup:

    • ExtraPorts = 5995:960x1080+960+540

Note

After making any registry key change, you will have to restart screen agent which can be done on the screen channel configuration page in the configuration manager.
