TechDeck Record records your show from any camera or capture card and burns live show information into the picture as it records: timecode, QLab cues, lighting cues, console faders and scenes, media server cues and any OSC value. You get an ordinary movie file anyone can play, plus a cue log, with nothing to fix in post.
Built for stage managers, designers, associates and archivists who need a rehearsal or performance video that shows exactly what happened, and when.
